Dear Future,

Well today we went to my boys homecoming.  This term confuses Katie but what I am trying to say is that the last companion I had who I trained in the mission field came home.  It was so amazing to go and hear a story about an investigator I found with him.  I had no idea how the end of her story went and how she finally made it to baptism.  This weekend has been really fun and I have learned a lot.  I was reminded on how no matter how busy life gets I need to always keep Katie in mind.  She is my boo and I will take care of her.  Katie and I were talking about possible future plans.  She took me out to the sticks where she taught school last semester.  She told me of how she would like to live there if she got an internship.  I was sold by the amount of space and the cool small town feeling.  Honestly when I grow older (and wiser too) I want to live in a smaller town setting.  So we are going to keep our eyes open for any good deals to live in Springville.  I also took Katie to a couple craft stores.  She is so talented at decorating homes and just making anything that looks bad ( such as our apartment haha) into something so beautiful.  She just has a natural talent for those types of things.  We also ate out at a couple of cool restaurants.  I have now learned that if you want to go out to eat and just walk in and sit down.  You have to do it outside of Provo.  I have loved my stay here in the P Town, living the Happy Valley Dream.  But I cannot wait for the day to move out and on with life.  I am so close. I am actually thinking hard of what schools I would like to go to.  Right now Houston and Memphis are my top choices.  I would love to go back to Texas.... for the third time.  I have to keep the pattern alive.  I grew up in Utah, moved to Texas, High School in Idaho.  Utah for College, Texas for Mission, back to Idaho for marriage.  Now I am in Utah to finish school and according to the pattern there is only one option.... TEXAS.  So we will see.  I love my life.  I love the gospel which always reminds me of what is important in this life.  I love my wife who is my best friend and who helps me more than anything else.  Well here are some of my random thoughts.

Goodbye Future
