One of the gifts of my life…

So you know how there are people that are just natural good at something? So people are natural gifted with writing, others are great with music. There are many gifts that people have in life. I have learned that one of the things that I am just good at is games. This I am sure comes as no surprise to many of you. Well, not only am a good at games in general, but I’m usually pretty good video games as well.

Prior to moving to Provo I really had cut back on my video game play. After moving here I had pretty much completely stopped, that was all until about a month ago. About a month ago I got two new roommates. Both of them like to play a game called Halo 2. Although I have never played the game I know that it is a pretty popular game. As Golden Eye was to the N64, Halo2 is to the X Box. The only difference is that with the X box you can play games against people on line. My roommate who owns the xbox 360 used to be hooked on it back in the day. It has been kind of fun to talk to him about being younger and wasting so much of your childhood over these types of games.

So after a month I have learned the ways of Halo. :) It has been fun to go from being the kid that we let play because his roommates are go to giving everyone a run for their money. The picture is of me playing with a group in our apartment. Once a week we get together and there are 8 of us (4 on two tvs) that play against each other. This picture was taken at a Mario Kart night for Family Home Evening. After everyone was done playing Mario Kart we played one game of Halo 2. When the picture was taken it was the score was 15-8-6-3, I was winning. Ah, it is nice to be respected once again. :)

Week of Recovery

Ok, so I was going to make a posting of my fun adventure of 2 weekends ago last week at the Toby Keith concert. I also had a few other things I was working on (aka Pari’s E-mail) but last week I got deathly sick. Ok, so it may not have killed me but it took me out for a good 3 days, and I’m still not at 100% almost a week later. All I have to say is there is not much more humbling in life than getting sick. It makes you slow down and realize how nice it is to be healthy. Another interesting observation I had was that when you are sick and are having problems with you stomach, you don’t get hungry. I was amazed on how after only eating a little less then a sleeve of salt teens, about a handful of cheerios, and 4 leaders of Sprite in about 48 hours can keep you feeling full when you are sick.

By now my stomach is better and acting more in control; however, I still find myself rather week. I plan on finishing those things I wanted to before I got sick. Hope life is treating all of you well.
