UPDATE!!!

So I haven't blogged in a long time and now that I have extra time at work I have decided to maybe catch up on my life. This really should be going into my journal before it goes into the blog, but I am behind on that too and I am just doing what I can when I can.

I am single now, those of you who know me know the details about that and I don't really want to blog to the world about it. I am okay though so all of you readers (all two of you) don't be worried.

 Also, for those of you who don't know, I am now a very productive worker (because I guess I wasn't before). I say this because I am working two jobs...I know right? I never thought I could do it either. My first job is at Intuitech, Inc. I build control panels (the gray boxes that have electrical parts in them and control things, haha) for water-treatment plants. It involves saws, drills, and wire-cutting. And so as a result of this job I feel more like a man because I work with power tools...haha. My other job is at Clearstone Windows. I have only been there three days but I am enjoying it. It is a very fun work environment!! I only wish that I have had more success. I am trying to get people to agree to have their windows washed by some of our cleaners. We call them and try to get them to commit. It reminds me of the RC at the MTC (for those of you not into missionary lingo that is just a calling center at the missionary training center). Today I feel better about the way I am calling though, at first all I got was rejection, but now it is okay, at least some people are nice to me, and I even have some callbacks.

Another significant event was my 22nd birthday yesterday. It was raining. I say that because it is a good pretext to how I felt about the day. I am not saying that I didn't enjoy the day, rather I think that it was weird for me and so I was kind of down. First of all, it was my first birthday home from my mission, which means the first day where I was the center of attention, and it was weird to me.I don't know if I like that. Second, I had to work all day, then I went to a wedding, so not the exact events I would have chosen for MY day. But, on the other hand I did get a free cup of frozen yogurt from Spoon Me. It was delicious, especially the fresh fruit. It was funny because Dave at Clearstone Windows took us to get it. In the parking lot he passed it so he started backing up. He was talking to mike and he was mentioning how he had never been in an accident but at exactly that same moment we hit and ran over a foot tall island. It was so funny after we realized what had happened. So that night after Andrew and Shauna Pettit's wedding I went to Jordan's house and they took us to Preston's house. We then played pool, ping-pong, darts, foosball, scooter racing, and then Taboo. It was enjoyable, but yet again I got to bed late that night meaning I am still tired today.

Well I am done for now, keep looking for new blogs because I have plans to do more since I have time at work (I am still working hard, but I have to do something while waiting for people to answer their phones).

Testimony of the Book of Mormon

This is the best video!! I am posting this so that more and more people will watch it and come to know that the Book of Mormon is true. It really will help you in life!!!

Time is of the essence

So school is coming to an end and I have been laid off my job, so I find myself with extra time on my hands which means time to blog!!!
Since it has been awhile I will give a short update of my life:

Like I said I have been laid off from my job, it happened just one day out of the blue, but for some reason I almost felt that it was coming that day.
School is just going normal, finals are in two weeks and I am pretty much all done with any homework that I had due before then.
I have been on a few dates with Kimberly, but nothing is certain yet and so I won't go too much into that right now.
Oh and for spring break I went to California with my friends....here are the pics:

We are the three superheroes (we won those after playing a game with the squirt guns)

Iota: my favorite fraternity

So I decided to show some pictures of my fraternity. About two weekends ago we went on a retreat up in Midway/Heber area. There was a cabin and we just had a blast. We stayed up almost all night and played games and laughed and had so much fun. The next day we went to some natural hot spring nearby. It was really fun. I came home really tired but had a great time. After that event I have done many other things with Iota and I love them so very much!!!! It is true when then say that you get as much out of it as you put in. Let me share some recent pictures of the fun we have been having (sorry I don't have pictures from other activities, I have a problem remembering my camera) :

All of these pictures come from our St. Patrick's Day exchange, hence the green!!

Our team to fight the blue balls to get the pot of gold.

We just played around after the activity and had fun as can be seen. ;)

Shadow has become a great friend!!! One of the best!

That is Jordan Mott but it doesn't look like him...

I was falling asleep texting while watching a movie with Jordan and Shadow

     So those are just a few of the people and times I love with Iota. More to come soon I hope!!

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.
