just a bit of silliness really...

Dear Euro-Mullet Guy at the Gym,

I’m not quite sure why you insist on lifting weights in short shorts and V-neck shirts, but to each his own I suppose!

Dear Cloak Boy,

It brought me much satisfaction to see you again on BYU campus, however I was disappointed you were not singing. Blast that news article that led to you no longer being allowed to do your thing.

Dear Bruce C. Hafen,

I’ve very much enjoyed your biography on Elder Maxwell….best thing that I’ve read in a long time!

Dear Dr. Ward,

Thank you for canceling one of your papers. Having six due within the last couple weeks of school is a little excessive. I’m glad that you’ve recognized this and shown us students some mercy!

Dear Jackson Emery,

One question: why do you have to be married? (j/k)

Dear Couple Mackin-it-up on Campus,

That much PDA in front of so many? Kinda weird, but not as weird as the guy staring at the two of you in action.

Dear EFY,

I was sad to leave you this past Friday. I have thoroughly enjoyed working for you. It has been a main highlight of my college experience and I will always look back on the many memories that we’ve shared with fondness.

Dear Guys of the BYU 11th Ward,

Thanks for the root beer floats, Latin dances, musical serenades, philosophical chats, chick flick parties, jam sessions, dinners, kind notes, etc. You have all contributed to my feeling very valued, cared for, and protected. Good job!

Dear BYU 11th Ward,

Can I just say that being in a ward with 100% home/visiting teaching almost every month is awesome. I’ve been lucky to learn from being a part of such a wonderful group of people who try hard to do right…and having basketball tournaments, dinner groups, “Sisters' Appreciation Week,” and a bishopric with an average height of 6’5” is pretty cool too.

Thank you, all, for adding some color, laughter, and joy to my week!

Best,

Sam

  2. Thanks Kenneth! I miss your awesomeness as well. How many people can pull off brushing their teeth in the middle of the WILK and not look TOO crazy?! Kenneth--end of list. That experience definitely falls into the "memories to look back on with fondness" category!

  3. oh, sorry about that...I didn't know anyone was watching us mac-it-up or I totally would have toned it down a bit.

  4. Hahaha Kami. Yeah, trust me when I say I don't think that you and James have ever kissed like this in public. At least not in the middle of campus in broad daylight!

Thanksgiving

My ultimate love, my ultimate passion, my ultimate joy is rooted in the one thing that gives direction, life, and purpose to all other things. This thing is the end to every means I ever put into motion. This thing is my family: earthly and heavenly--immediate and distant--past, present, and future. "Thankful" does not begin to capture the humble, sacred gratitude I feel for all in my family and for the relationships that I have (and will have) with them.

and when you are hungry in your wilderness, your God will provide you manna...

Below is a link to a talk by Jeffery R. Holland that is a personal favorite of mine. I would encourage you to give it a read as I believe that it really applies to a lot of us (although it is directed towards LDS Young Single Adults)...and because it's just really that good! Cast Not Away Therefore Your Confidence Also, I would like to let all of you know that I know that all of the doctrines and principles taught in this talk are indeed true:our God loves us and He keeps the promises that He makes to us. I know that as we continually strive to show our faith in the Lord by being obedient to the commands that He gives us through the voice of His prophets and through His Holy Spirit, we can qualify for blessings which He desires to bestow upon us. We can reach our promised land with His help. Sometimes we all feel lost and abandoned at certain points along the road, but I know from personal experience that this is never really the case. His hand will ever guide us, so long as we ...

"We made, we made cookies by scratching."

So one of the best things about being home for a month is being able to cook to my heart’s content! In my normal, solitary life, there are a few factors that limit my culinary pursuits: 1. Having the time to cook 2. Having the money to buy ingredients 3. Having people to eat the food Lucky for me, in AZ all of these issues are laid to rest. I am free to make whatever I want. This week I ventured a vanilla cream meringue pie and chicken fried steak. They turned out decently well, but I have some ideas to make them better...and some ideas of other things I want to try. Anyway, I don’t really know why I’m posting about this on my blog, but oh well! Also, if anyone can quote the source of the quote in the title, they get an automatic five points!
