Finals have Arrived

Well it is that lovely and most hated part of college life.  The week of finals.  Kelsie the lucky duck is completely done with her's already and i am completely jealous.  Last week kelsie had her finals week and well she basically had none to go to.  During dead week at weber kelsie's spanish professor was kind enough to hold their finals during that week.  So kelsie being the go getter that she is signed up to be the second student to present her final and get the heck out of there.  Then you would think that her other three classes would make her wait till finals week to take her finals but noOOOoooo... they opened those test up a week early as well and were like come on get it done, be free my pretties.  so kelsie followed suit.  So needless to say during dead week for kelsie, she was very much alive and well during finals week, dead.  I have yet to hear "i want to go back" its been straight, "yippee!!!! haha I'm done. You're not!!!!" And you know whats funny here she is since the beginning of the semester saying "man i just want to be done" and is now saying, "hmmm.. maybe i should take chemistry next semester"  But see in my mind this is what I see--- Kelsie + Chemistry+baby=un needed stress.
Well now that I have told all about kelsie's happiness i can get on to my lovely college life.  Its amazing how much the mind set changes.  When I started at slcc this semester I was so psyched that I started later than kelsie, but now that i have finals week a week later than her, I wish i started the same time.  Luckily I think finals are going to go great.  I have one class done as of tonight, have two take home finals, and two in class finals.  I think I'll be alright.

Life as been pretty crazy around here in this part of town.  Last week on the 1st davis county was hit super hard with a gnarly wind storm.  I have never seen so many fallen trees in my life.  Mine and kelsie's parents house were hit pretty hard from the wind.  Well i guess the good side from it all is that now you have a great view of both houses.  haha no more trees in the way.  This was a time where everyone came around and pitched in and helped each other.  My parents ward chipped in the help my parents.  And some random young men from our stake and family friends of kelsie's parents helped over at her parents house. If you guys have been to my parents house you know what is missing from this picture.  Two huge pine trees and oh yeah i forgot to mention that that side of the roof that is facing us got completely ripped off.  The wind was crazy but it was a neat thing to experience.  It could have been worse. We are grateful that it was not.

During this time of the year it is always great to stop and look and the wonderful things that are in your life and realize what you truly are grateful for.  I am grateful for our savior and for the his service and example here on this earth.  I am grateful for my loving wife kelsie.  I am grateful for the chance i will have to be a dad.  This life is awesome i am so grateful for our friends and family.  May all of you cherish what you have and keep smiling. :D:D I ramble sometimes but you know me I like to talk.

PEACE!!!
