A Long Time Comming

Well, as I post on my blog once again its now been forever and a day since the last post and I'm reminded how easy it is to loose track of time. To be honest, while sitting here at work with no one calling in I don't know why I thought of getting on my blog. But I can say that its been good because I was able to look at some of my good friends posts and reminded again of all the good times and how great they really are. Too often in life I think we forget the simple pleasures and worry about too many things that don't really matter at all. So I want to blog about some of the good times and simple pleasures that I haven't thought about in a while. These are not in order of importance or the level of enjoyment, Im just listing them as they come to mind, so bear with me.
1) Sunday Night Hot Chocolate in 55- I was reminded of this when one of my current roomates came up with the idea to have coco time every week. We make a cup of cocco and then sit on our balcony and chat for a few minutes and just chill. It made me think of Jen McQueen, Ashley, Barb and Trish and all the good times we had hanging out with them and having a cup of hot chocolate.
2) Thurdsay night Bowling- Who could ever think of a better thursday night activity? All of us trying to beat Shanelle, and rarely ever doing it. Making fun of Meghan. The occasional outburst of profanity, T.J. winning free bowling for knowing trivia, and who can forget the little kid who liked to play in the lockers.
3) Backyard movies- One of Pats greater ideas, I would have to admit. Its great to have 20 0r thirty people crammed in the back yard for movies. And who would have guessed some of the fun that would occur. Ren trying to be a ladies man and other good times.
4) Gotcha- Hiding in a tree waiting for Reed to come home. The constant sneaking around with a squirt gun and not trusting anyone. An alliance with Tiff, Holly and Amanda. Getting killed by your Bishop. haha good times.
5) Forgotten Carols Date Night- I have now been to the Forgotten Carols five years in a row but I don't know that many can compare to the two years in Logan. Its not many times you can get around 20 people crammed into our little house for a home made dinner. And looking back on things I have taken 5 different girls to the play and after Mer gets married 4 out of the 5 will be married, and Im still single. Figure that one out.
6) Bonfires- Whether we were up Green Canyon or up the canyon at Risa's cabin these were all good times. Bruce and his guitar and Spice and his drums. There were only about 7 of us at one of the most memorable fires, but I don't think Josh or Spice and I will forget Kates fiesty friend and how she had to make fun of everyone. And then getting to see the reaction and verbal beat down she got from Spice after she had pushed his button. And who can forget the mattress swing, haha and thats all that needs to be said about that.
7) Sci Fi Theata- I don't know that I will ever experience anything like this again. Picture around 15 strait guys in an apartment going around the circle confessing who each one was interested in and talking about relationship problems. I know we all got a look at a different side of a few people.
8) The USU 37th Ward- Its hard to have a ward that was as close and fun as that ward. We had such a great bishopric with Bishop Stokes, Brother Measom, and Brother Daines. It was amazing how we all clicked and were such good friends. It was litterally for me a home away from home. I met some amazing people and good friends. I'm not the best at keeping in touch or being the greatest friend but I will hopefully change that and be better.
Well, I think I could go on for quite a while about things I loved and enjoyed about Logan and my experiences up there. It will have been 2 years in August that I moved to Orem. I made it back up there about a week ago with my brother. It was only the 2nd time since I had moved that I had been back. I took him around and showed him some of the places that bring back memories and where the good times happened. Logan has changed but memories and friendships never will. I don't know if anyone still reads this blog or not but thats ok. Just to finish it off, Im just going to say to all you out there that were apart of any of these memories and many more " I burrito you!" That phrase won't mean much to some but to everyone else, you know exactly what I'm saying.
