Sweet Molasses

Sitting here in Kansas with the in-laws,
This week starts my Christmas holiday break from school, how sweet it is to have fun with family and no worries but getting fat with all the delicious food that is bad for me, so far my favorites this season food wise is caramel chocolate pretzels, blackberry pie, banana bars and See’s peanut brittle. Good thing its warm here in Kansas so I can go running it all off each morning. The break started off with lots of fun in the car for 8 hours through the mountains. Glorious weather as we passed Vail and Copper Mountain with jealousy stirring with every skier I saw coming down the slopes. 2 more weeks before I get the fix I need. We reached my parents in Colorado Springs with love and a fun game of king’s crown. There the next day after I woke up and made my dad help me find a few gifts for Christmas for a couple of hours, while the rest of the family fancied up the house with decorations and tons of food with lots of loved ones. My father had no idea he was about to have his first surprise Birthday party at 50. It was a blast. My new son was passed around like a bad cold, I think he liked it.
Shortly after that Brandi and I took Brevan and Leo to Kansas where we are getting to spend time with the Heinitz family and some good friends here in Garden City. I plan on creating a new skit with The best man friend named Cody C. I hope it all goes good because we are doing it the day before I leave. On the 24th there will be a little present opening and story sharing, after which some more driving to Goodland with the Hurst side for a day of family and games. On Christmas day even more driving with my family to Colorado to see the family and more of the Clonts side and a few more present sharing. I can’t wait to see what my little wifey got me this season. I hope she is excited as I will be when she sees her gifts I got for her. This break better go slow, like molasses filling a bucket, because I need the break and need lots of video gaming to catch up on.
I hope all of your Holiday season’s are safe and bright and that as we come to this time and the memory of our saviors birth and life, that we each take a chance to read the Scriptures and think about how important the life and ministry of Jesus Christ was and still is to each of us for the great plan of Salvation that our Father in Heaven has for each of us. I love my Savior and pray that I will always remember his Gospel that is filling the earth even today. Become more Christ-like with all that you do and be caring and kind to your fellow brothers and sisters. Love it…

Christmas Preperations

I am actually really liking this stuff with blogging and what not, never thought I would enjoy it as much.
Well this is the last week of fall classes and then its finals. I’m not too worried; my finals are pretty spread out and give me enough time to study for each of them. This week Brandi, Brevan and I are working on getting Christmas cards out to some people, but if you don’t get one, sorry your just not important enough to me and Brandi, just kidding, we don’t have a lot of money and it can get expensive if you’re sending out 50 pictures of yourself with postage and stuff also, I mean stamps are like 43cents now, yikes. After next week though we, including Katy, are going to drive down to Colorado Springs on the 18^th and see our parents. But on the 19^th Brandi Brevan and I are going to Garden City KS to see her family for a bit then we will be heading off to Goodland to see my loving Hurst family that hasn’t seen Brevan yet for Christmas, but to make everyone happy and spend time with my parents we then will head to Colorado again to see the Clonts side family. It is going to be so tiring but we will have some good memories, I already can tell.

Brevan is about to turn 6months on the 12^th. He is just about to start teething we think, just because his attitude and schedule is changing so much all of a sudden. He loves pulling things to his mouth and chewing on dad’s fingers. We have taken him to a few volleyball games this last week as BYU men’s volleyball kicks off their season against Arizona and UVU. They did very well, not as good as last year I think but still worth it. While at these games we noticed Brevan looking around at all the girls and giving a flirty laugh at them and smiling a lot. Already, makes me proud, but Brandi is sad about it.

This semester I have had time to take some classes that I needed for business school and prepare to apply for the Business school here at BYU and found that I extremely enjoy my Information Systems class and decided to redirect my Major to it. The cool thing about it is that there isn’t that many schools that have this for their students and gives a better chance of finding certain jobs and getting a career that I can start. I can’t wait until the day I start my career and not have to worry about getting graded on my perfect ability, no one is perfect except some of these BYU students, I think they are robots, no one can retain that much information.
Next semester I will be taking more pre-business classes that I need along with a snowboarding class that takes me to Sundance and lets me snowboard each week for about 3 hours, perfect! I am way excited for that.

Thanksgiving time

The last week was T-break, finally a good break from school, kinda, I still had those teachers that thought it just meant no class time but still perfect time for homework to be done, you know what I mean. My Mother-in-law and sister-in-law came the Saturday before and stayed all week and had fun with us. We did a lot of Christmas shopping, isn't that what thanksgiving is about? I mean finding the best deal compared to any one you know and bragging about it and giving thanks to being in the right spot at the write time, maybe not. All I care about when giving a gift is that I see it being used more then once in the first month and being loved. Back to family, my parents came to stay with us also on the day of thanksgiving and made the house even more full of love. We had a great time talking and going out to eat. Letting them see Brevan and his chunkyness that he is. My parents took my wife Brandi, son Brevan and I to salt Lake to see the lights in Temple Square, the nativity scenes where my favorite, I cant wait to get a nice and beautiful nativity scene. From there we headed to the Jackson's house where my favorite cousin was with her new baby boy, Brevan's BFF, he looked like Bethany when she was a baby, but had the attitude of Casey, he is gonna be awesome.
one thing that my father and mother did for me and my sister was bring some of our Grandpas T-day dinner which is our favorite, Grandpa Clonts makes his food with love and it took me too long to understand that for myself.

The Beginning of the Mind

The very first blog entry for my page should be more of an information and give you an understanding of what kind of a man I truly am. So to give a good feel for me I will tell you my thoughts...
You know what runs through my mind day by day? Getting better at snowboarding and having fun, I hate constant work, school is hard, I am finding little pet peeves everyday I live here in Utah. Dont get me wrong I love my faith and people can be great, but some people need to get their head in the program and know what their body is doing when driving or even walking instead of worrying about how they did in the last exam. Meditation is better when sitting down or during commercials while you watch a relaxing show.
Besides that I am a fun loving guy, I hope. I love figuring things out and understanding how the world and the Heavens work. I try to hear everyone's idea and give good understanding to it. I love my family and want to be a little bit of each of them. the end of the beginning.
