New Roommates.

new Roomies, so I moved to apartment 31, it seems like its going to be a great semester. The guys are all pretty cool. Brewer Johnson is from Texas( Arlington I think) he served in Hawaii and has been back for a year. Jerome ____ is from Hawaii, and is half Hawaiian. Brewer met him while serving in his home ward. they are both pretty cool.
David and Stephen Wall are the coolest guys around. they defiantly know how to lift you up when your down and how to pull you down when your too far up :)
they will Defiantly be my life long friends.
the last guy in the apartment is Ryan. All I know about him so far is that he is from LA and that he has a guitar and a cowboy hat on his bed.
I talked to him for about five minutes and that was about it.
The glen woods decided to give apartment 31 a new couch, it is awesome. It's the only one in building one like it. :) I am spoiled.

Class's
so I procrastinated and didn't sign up for class's as soon as I should have so now I am on a waiting list and the only class I was able to get into was a math class which I kinda didn't want to. but oh well. I hope the English and history class wait list goes down soon...
I am terrified about starting school, I have never in my life taken an official math class so this will be pretty crazy.

FHE
on Monday we went up to walls-burg which is a little paradise, it was so much fun. there is a big pond that is almost a lake with a zip-line that runs across it you jump off the zip line into the water the zip line is connected to a 35 foot tower that is right on the edge of the pond. you can jump off of it in to the water. it is one of the coolest things I have ever done. when we went a few weeks ago I jumped off and hit the water on my rear end when i climbed aboard one of the paddle boats my buddy was kind enough to let me know that the impact with the water had blow out my shorts and that you could completely see my bare butt. he was kind enough to take me to shore and grab my towel so I didn't have to stand up. It was pretty funny.
this time I had some much better shorts that I borrowed from one of my roommates.

there is also a 100 foot slip and slide down a huge hill. it was so awesome. we got about ten people to go down it in a train. it was so funny. there is plenty of running space at the top so you can get good speed and then a nice long slope to the bottom. on my second time down I hit a patch of sand that spilled out of a sand bag( sand bags are used to hold the plastic down so it doesn't move while your sliding) and totally roughed up my chest and stomach, I was so red after that. but man was it worth it. we ate hot dogs they were burned but good if you loaded them up with toppings :)

well that is all I have for now.
Until next post-
Colton.

Dates

I have been on three dates this past month. I think that brings my total in my life to nine....
the first one we went and played mini golf at the cascade golf course, it was pretty darn fun. it was an eighteen hole course and at each hole we had to do something weird while we putted. the first hole Matt and I decided we should hit the ball with the wrong end of the putter, as if we were playing pool. then next hole the girls picked some thing to do and so on and so forth, we had some really crazy ones like you had to hit the ball while blindfolded and anther one where you had to lead your date around while wearing the blindfold and they had to kick the ball.

one of my favorites was one where each person had to use their dates leg as the putter, they had to hold onto the leg and swing it. It was pretty crazy.



the second date this month we planned on going to bowl at the wilk, but when we showed up we found out that we had the wrong night.

so instead we decided to go to Macy's and buy ingredients to make desserts, the catch is you set a price range that you cant exceed, you have to get as close to the price cut off as you can with out going over, then you have a cook off to see which couple made the better dessert. it was pretty fun. my date and I made Chex mix out of Hershey's syrup and rich Chex and powered sugar,

It was awesome.



the third date this month we went hiking up Payson canyon past maple dell, such a great campground, up past maple dell there is a little water fall that is not too far from the road, its a nice little hike that little kids can do, we saw about ten family's up there with kids that looked to be four or five maybe even younger.

after the family's left we played under the waterfall and got drenched after we got done there we hiked back to the car and drove back to Provo and got some frozen yogurt then after we were freezing cold from the waterfall and the yogurt we went back to the Glenwoods and jumped into the hot tub, it was a great evening.



today was Alaina's, my cousin, farewell talk she spoke on how prayer and scripture study go hand in hand the thing that stood out to me the most was the comment about how you pray so god can hear you and you read so you can hear god. She did such a great job with that talk. I will miss her a lot. she is going to be a great missionary



well I need to go now to get ready to pick up Parris from the air port. she flew out to Texas to visit Jason and Sara and their kids. I hope she had fun.



I am so happy to be living with the twins they are sooo awesome, I just know we are going to have some crazy things happen.



well that's about all I have for today.


Blog ya later.

work

so today at work I was frustrated. things just didn't seem to go as I thought they should have. things seem to just weigh down on me until I am ready to collapse. some people at work are just plain stupid. I can't stand them. It seems like they do stupid stuff just to make me mad. I wonder why they think they can be in charge when they have not earned the right to do the things I do.

I wish I could figure out where I belong. I cant wait for this weekend as I will be moving in with the Tweedles, It is going to be so exciting.
I hope living with them is as fun as hanging out with them. They are great friends. Red you will be missed. I will be taking his spot in the apartment.

well my break is over at work so I must go.
