Hi, my name is Mac. You may remember me from such posts as "I love my Jaime, and my Jordans" and "Spring has been buried by Winter"

So, it's been many moons since the last time I graced this blog with my written presence. I apologize. Much has been going on the recent months, most importantly, I got married in June. Thank you thank you, it's all very nice and grand. Just as I imagined it. I live in Bountiful, with my wifey Jaime, and go to the U of U. I have a legitimate job now, which hasn't really been a factor in my life since 2005. So it's a little bit something I am getting used to.

I just got back from the deer hunt this week and it was highly successful. I didn't shoot a deer (yet) but I fired off several arrows that were hot in pursuit but failed to make contact with the intended target. Unless I can convince you I really was trying to shoot a tree and a few bushes. Anyway, it was a great time and I can't wait to get back out on the mountain in a couple of weeks.

Almost 24

I cant believe that i am the only one writing on this blog. What's happening? Anyway, I moved to 118th south in South Jordan. I live with 7 other awesome guys. We have a lot of fun. We have a pool, sauna, 2 big screens, poker night, we all dance, and have a blast doing many other things. Summer semester is almost over. I take my last final on Thursday. That means only 1 more semester til i graduate. Hooray! Hank and I have been rock climbing a lot lately. Today we climbed a 5.10., which is a pretty tough climb. Not the hardest by all means but still challenging and fun. I hopefully will be in Hawaii this Saturday to visit Marisa. Then off to NYC for my conference there. On August 19th I turn 24. Only 1 more year til cheaper car insurance. Football season is almost here!! Go USC! Anyway, thats all for now.

Scuba Certified!

Hey everyone!!! Life is great. I saw Transformers and the Proposal this past week, both were awesome. I suggest you see both of them. Also, I am not officially scuba certified. I was in Wendover over the weekend and finished my training. The summer semester is half way over. I only have to worry about 2 classes, my law class and rock climbing. Rock Climbing is only going to be a week long in the middle of July. This week should fly by. I have a group presentation due in my law class on Tuesday. Then our softball game Tuesday night. Thursday morning I have test #2 in my law class. This means I will be studying all week for it. If i can score well on this test and the project i can coast through the rest of the semester. Then Thursday night it is off to Vegas for the weekend. I got invited by some friends to go down there for Friday and Saturday and go pool hopping and eat at the buffets. Happy Birthday to Mac yesterday!!! He's 23. He got back yesterday from his honeymoon to Mexico, hopefully he didn't get the swine flu. Spiritual Thought of the week, As we past through this test of life, may we remember the examples that have preceded us. Capt. Moroni, Alma, Nephi, Job, Noah, Joseph Smith, Christ, latter day prophets,  Our Parents, and many others. This life is meant for us to show our dedication to God, Learn many good things as we dwell here, and enjoy the journey.

Mac's Wedding

The day finally came. Mac and Jaime are now married. Mr. and Mrs. Brady. The wedding was a splendid event. It started Thursday night with a reception that was greener than an Irish country side. This might have been caused by all the green footwear worn. Many people came and gave there congratulations to the happy couple. There was socializing and eating of baked happiness, cake! That night after I left the reception, I went country dancing. I met some cute girls, got some numbers, and had a blast. The next morning was n early one. Hank picked me up at 8. We made it to Manti by 10. I changed a Grandma's house then Hank and I went and hit a bucket of balls at Palisade. THe Sealing ceremony was amazing. THe spirit was so strong. The couple looked as happy as can be. It's wonderful to see the ordinances being preformed. Life just becomes clear and uncluttered when your in the temple. Especially in the sealing room and celestial room. After the ceremony we took pictures, went to the luncheon and saw the made Jaime's car smell like cooked bologna. As for other news, i got o Wendover this weekend to become scuba certified. I am almost half was through my summer semester. Well, that's all for now. May God be with you til we meet again!

Almost June!!!

So, My life has been very blessed. I am grateful for my friends and family. Anyway, Our journey to Cali was a blast. I especially liked longboarding in Santa monica and Venice beach, and of course Disneyland. Summer school started This week, i just need to push trough so i can graduate in December. My big class is my law class for the Communication Department. It is interesting stuff, it just sucks becasuse there is a lot required to pass the class. The next 2 Months wil be crazy busy, A million weddings to attend, most importantly Mac and Jaime's, school, camping, boating, scuba certification. It seems like every weekend something is going on. So i find out on June 1st if i have to get PCL surgery on my knee. If that happens then i will be out of comission for 8 weeks then in rehab for 6 months. What ever happens i just need to get my knee as strong as possible for the events the rest of my life will bring. BIG SOFTBALL WIN!!!! On tuesday the Space Cowboys, thats our co ed softball team, won its 1st game. Now we are 1-2 looking for a big winning streak. Great game play by all the players. Well, thats about all i have for now. RWH!!!

Cali, the spring trip

So, here's an overview of the trip, from my view of course. Well, Jeff, Hank, Jake, Dana, Shanda, and Alexis showed up at my apartment at like 5:30 or there abouts. The first like hour of the ride Hank and Jake were rockin' in the back, which is a slight understatement of what was going on. After that things calmed down because they basically fell asleep. Anyway skipping pass the 7 hour drive we made it to Los Vegas, I went to bed while most everyone else went to the strip. Thus the next day I was the driver to take us to Disneyland. We had lots of fun, skipping out on most all lines because of Jeff and his wheelchair. We hit most all the rides that we wanted to. It was fun. Jeff then drove us to San Diego, we got there around 12:30 and just crashed. In the morning Jake, Jeff, Shanda, and I went to the San Diego Temple. Afterwards we went to the San Diego Zoo. It was pretty cool. So now it is Saturday night and we split up, I go to visit Dru and her in laws and we played some games. Sunday we tried to make it to Church with Dru but go lost, so we just headed up to some beeches in LA. We laid out on the beech and then did a little longboarding. It was great. Then we left to Los Vegas, I drove and it was late. Luckily, Alexis stayed awake and kept me awake. If not for her we would have been off the road. On Monday we slept in and then came home. It was a great trip. Here are more photos.

Summer is here

So guys it has been awhile, sorry last week was my last week of classes and now I am just finishing up finals. I got two left religion and CAD finals. I cannot wait, it won't come soon enough. So guys there is this great song I just found like on Saturday, it is called Runaround Sue by Dion and the Belmonts, he is the one that sings The Wanderer too. You definitely need to check it out it has got an awesome beat. So you guys should be coming up on finals or this is your last week right? Good luck I hope that it all goes well. Hopefully you don't get too stressed out like I do.
So I think that we should plan to go camping sometime this summer, or ya know Mac we should plan a weekend to go to the Cabin and fix it up a bit, that would be so much fun. But I guess it would need to happen before the end of July and after the end of June, hmm there is just too much to do this summer and not nearly enough time. I often find myself wishing that I had some sort of machine that gave me more hours in the day or extra days. I would add extra days to the weekends, and I would always be adding more days to my camping trips.
Well guys I have to get studying for another test, hope you guys do well with yours, oh and keep me up to date on how your softball team is doing, if you ever play on the weekends, I would come and watch. Well until next time ta um ea boa
