Thanks for the love

I received several wonderful gifts for Christmas/birthday this past year and I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate them.

• Jill- I framed the picture you gave me and the drawing of the monster is in the living room. I plan to use the scarf this week.
• Teah, Josh, Dallin, Carter, and Miley- I love the calendar and I have it hanging in my room. Me and my roommates enjoyed the box of chocolates as well.
• Aaron- Thanks for the card and the gift cards to Walmart. I have decided to use them to help me get some new glasses soon.
• Dad- Thanks for the digital picture key chain. I have already shown off my family pictures to a few different people. I also used the gift card to buy a blazer that makes me look dashingly handsome.
• Mom- Thanks for the 30 Rock dvds. I love that show. Also thanks for the new suit, laptop bag, and book.
  
• TY- Thanks for the movie. I had a lot of fun seeing Sherlock with you guys. I think that I only watched 4 movies in the theater last year and I watched 2 of them with you while I was in town.
• Grandpa- I really enjoyed the get together at your place and I am going to use the money you gave me to help me buy my new glasses.

I probably left out someone or something along the way, but I am very appreciative of all that my family has done for me. Leading up to Christmas I always feel bad knowing that people are spending money on me. I want you all to know how much I appreciate all of you and for the closeness that we share.


As for this week, I have realized that I have way to much free time on my hands. I work 8 hours a day and then I come home with no responsibilities or activities. This past week was full of college bowl games and other sporting events, but I feel that I need to do more. I have decided that one thing that I can do is more service. I think that I will go up to the MTC or something and give that a go. If anyone has any service ideas, let me know because I've got time to burn.

I just finished watching Breakfast at Tiffany's. I am a little bit confused because they never had breakfast at Tiffany's. I didn't like the racial stereo type of asians either. I thought that the movie was facinating to watch. It makes me a little bit sad to think that times have changed so much that people like those in the movie don't exist anymore, or at least I don't know any, and they don't even make movies like that anymore. It got me in the mood to watch Casablanca, so I'll probably use some of my extra free-time to do that this week.

On a final note, I am trying this thing where I will answer any question that someone asks me. No holds bar. Brutal honesty. This is only good for 24 hours and then my secrets are my own. I thought that this would be exciting to do, but then I realized that I don't really have any secrets or try to keep things from people. But if you think of something, let me know and I'll tell you how it is.
