525600 minutes....

In the middle Month of June there always comes a time for most to sit back and reflect on things, generally because of graduations, dad's day, and its the middle of the year (have you been keeping up with your new years resolution?) I have had the fortune of sitting back today and realizing its been an adventurous time since I graduated in 2007 (yeah remember when?) So what I'd like to do is make a few comments of what has happened over the years.

2007 (that's 4 years ago):
Around this time I decided to get my Eagle scout award, and become one of the few (2% of SCOUTS) that attain the award. I also graduated from Alta High School, with mediocre grades, and a feeling that i knew as much as my parents did, I was sorely mistaken. Immediately after that I joined the college life, and really just did it for the social life.

2008 (That's 3 years ago):
The big thing of this year is that I had the half-baked idea that a mission would be easy. On March 17 2008 I read my mission call to Kentucky. ON THIS DAY 3 Years ago I Stepped through the doors of the MTC and began my mission serving the lord. I admit, I didn't go for the right reasons, but quickly I found them.

2009 (That's 2 years ago):
Two years ago I was looking at the end of my mission as if it was a distant mirage, something unattainable. I sat in a ma & pa pizza parlor eating pizza with my companion wondering what it would be like to be normal again (Obviously I still ha vent learned what it is to be normal)

2010 (That was last year!!!):
I sat across an room from a man that told me i was officially released as a missionary, I was the worse day of my life. I was asked to remove my name tag that set me apart from the world. I reluctantly complied. and Bawled my eyes out.

2011 (TODAY):
I sit in a big room with 60 uniformed soldiers getting geared up for another day. I am an American Soldier. Ready to defend this country I love, prepared to give the ultimate sacrifice for the people I learned to love both at home and on my mission. I wear my uniform with pride, because there are only 1% of America that wears it, and we have the strongest ties together.

Our Lives change daily, that's is why its hard to see the big picture of life. Look into your past just one year ago and you'll see changes you've made that are huge. look even further into the past, see even bigger changes.

SO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE SINCE 2007?
