Today was a fun day. I woke up at around 8:30 and could not fall back asleep so I just laid there. Just when sleep was starting to take over, I get text message from my friend Allan. He says, "Hey do you remember those shotgun shells and clays that we bought for the Elder's Quorum shotgun activity?" I did remember and told him that I had. He then said that the semester is over and we should gather up as many of the guys from the ward and go shooting.
I agreed so we called up some other guys and ended up with only a total of 4 guys from the ward. Allan, Alex, his fiance Amanda and, The Joe. We all piled into Allan's car and drove to a spot that my friends and I usually go shooting at. When we arrived we set up a mechanical clay thrower and also looked for targets that people had left behind. This is where I wish we had a camera with us. We found these fake human heads that looked like they were practice heads for people in barber school. One of the heads kind of resembled Osama Bin Laden so we all took many shots and hit the Bin Laden head many times from different distances varying from 50 feet to only a few inches away. Needless to say, the point blank shots were pretty awesome. After we had fired off a few hundred shotgun shells and our shoulders were crying, "No more!", we picked up our spend shell casings and other garbage and came back home.
At home I hung out for a little bit and then started looking for my keys as I had misplaced them somewhere. I called my mother and asked her to check if I had left them at my brother in law's and sisters home last night when my other sister and I had gone to visit. She said they were nowhere to be found. My mother flew in a few days ago to see her first newborn grandson. I love having my parents come to visit. They are so fun. Anyway back to the business at hand. Eventually I found my keys in my sister's car. I then went to Provo to help a friend who is not too familiar with Provo City and helped him find a house where he was to translate a conversation. While he did that, I walked around Center Street in Provo and came across an old mom & pop type used bookstore. It was cool. I really hope that this bookstore does not go under.
As for work, I leave for Texas this coming Thursday and I am looking forward to spending the Spring/Summer in Texas. Apparently we are staying in a house that I was actually looking at over the internet. It is a nice house. I cannot remember but I hope it has a decent size yard so that our dog( A Doberman Pinscher) has room to run around when we are not available to take him on walks or runs.
I think that is all the events of the day.
