Band-Aid for Haiti

So we had a stake activity to raise money for the efforts in Haiti. I am on the service committee and so I helped put it together. Here are some things I bought. We had a silent auction, bake sell, and some bands playing. It was a great success and a lot of fun!!

These stickers cost like $10 at the bookstore!! Got them for $2.

This is a painting of Gordon B. Hinckley, I won it for $10 (p.s. it was all done with strokes of a mouse on a compture......AMAZING!!!)

Some bread, cookies, peantu butter bars, rice-krispie treat, cupcake, and more cookies. All for $5

My new haircut

Just thought I would mention how I got a haircut. This is my first time going to a more professional salon. I got it done by Jinny who does my parent's and sister's hair. She is a family friend and so I got it done for free. What do you think?

What to do??

So I come on here almost everyday with the intention to make an entry. Everytime I get to the new post page I stare at it and then close the window and go watch tv or something. I usually start out as if I was going to write in my journal and tell about my day, but that wouldn't be very interesting for many readers besides my grandma (no offense, but she really would like that since she loved getting my missionary emails from my mom) and so I don't write at all. So since I don't want to write about my incredibly boring life everyday I've decided to write about how I don't know what to write about...at least today. I am thinking that I have two solutions...either make life interesting by putting myself out there more, or, by doing things with the intention of using it for my blog entry. So, now that I have established this, we will hope to hear interesting stories and hopefully I can remember to take my camera with me.

Now that I have written all of this I just thought of something interesting. So on Friday I was on my date with Sarah May. It was actually really fun and I had a good time. Well after the formal we got together and went to a park to play night games, and yes it was cold outside. We started playing capture the flag in the dark with a little snow on the ground. Well, Sarah said that she should be home at the latest 1 o' clock. So we had to leave early (aren't those late night games?? I thought so) As we were walking away from the group I saw someone a little up on the hill jump out of the bushes. He/she saw us and jumped back in. Of course Sarah didn't see anything, but I did and it was far away from the rest of the group to assume that it wasn't one of them. Now, first I thought, who is that hiding in the bushes at 12:45 at night? Then, of course my mind decided that the only people who do that are bad people, mainly murderers. So we hurried to the car and got there safely. We were freaked out a little, and that led to scary stories that we had experienced in our lives. I have talked to others and they know nothing about someone hiding in the bushes, so who knows?!? Could we have crossed paths with a serial killer? I hope so because that makes a better story. ;)

My name is Tosh

This is my first official post of my life. It is a fun experience. Right now I am going to school and working. I also have two callings in church. Life is busy and I am feeling tired sometimes. Try adding my training for the Salt Lake Marathon with all of that. Speaking of the marathon, I have recently been suffering a slight injury/setback. My left leg keeps hurting around the knee area when I try to run. Warming up and stretching don't really help. Then for a day or two after it really hurts to go down stairs. Anyone know what it could be? It just happened last week on Thursday. I went running the day before as usual and I think that is the only thing that could have caused it. I don't know. So in light of all that I actually might change to a different marathon that is a little later in the year. I hear the Logan and St. George ones are fun, so maybe I will look into those.

My callings are first, service committee for the singles ward, and second, executive secretary for the fraternity iota. They both bring more blessings to my life. Maybe that is why I enjoy having so much to do... Good principle to learn y'all ;)

School is going well. I am looking into optometry to go into as a career. I am really interested in the eyes. Also, studies in my psychology class have only proved that I like eyes.

Well that is my short life story up to now.
