The Taming of the Beast - My Victory


After church on the ride home we realized that Delayna and I were both wearing black and purple, so we took some pictures. Keep in mind this happened the second day, and she is already content with being in my arms. Which, by the way, is pretty impressive. But, if you think that this is good, check out the next pair of pictures.
Here, we see that her head is actually on my shoulder. Thats right, and she is holding on tight with those little hands of hers. The doubt may come that I just picked her up when she was asleep or something like that. Wrong, check out the next picture.
As you can see, she is very much awake.

Good News everyone. I have recently reviewed my scores on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT) and have passed. I received an 88 and 72 in the pilot and navigator portions respectively. Ya, it doesn't really mean much to me either, but apparently, its not too bad considering that I have no real experience with flying planes. I am currently talking with a few representatives of different programs for college students looking to go into the Air Force, but have made no sure decision on what I will do.

I have heard back from Oregon State. They said that they were waiting for my transcript from BYUI. I told them that I don't have one because it is my first semester here, so they are going to process my application now. My math class from BYUH may not fill the math requirements for a transfer student, and if that is the case, they will wait for my transcript for this semester at BYUI, which would mean that I wouldn't know if I am accepted till about 3 days until the semester starts. Not really sure how that would work out, but they never said there would be a problem with that. But now thinking about it, the day after I completed my application back in October I called and asked about the transcript from BYUI and if it would be a problem, and they said it wouldn't, but it was. Nothing ever goes as planned I guess, and hopefully things will work out

For those interested I went on a date last night with a woman named JudyKay Drake. I say woman because she is like 26, and graduated from BYUI last year. She is about 5 foot nothing, and has long dark hair. She is from a very large family of 10, just like us, and is the seventh sibling as well. We went bowling and then got some ice cream. I bowled a 153 which wasn't too bad considering I haven't bowled in over 2 years. I found my touch at the end. The first few frames were pathetic, and she was actually beating me in the 5th like 57 to 56. I jokingly blamed my poor performance, and she went and grabbed me a 12 pound ball to replace my 14 pounder. Obviously I used it, and nothing really changed till about the 8th frame, when I spared, and then got into the Thanksgiving spirit in the ninth and tenth frames, but missed the 4 bagger on my last throw by a pin. She almost broke 100 but followed her spare in the ninth frame with a gutter ball, and a 1 pin throw. It was fun, she was a very nice girl, and I was a complete gentleman. The date ended in a hug, and a good night ... ya, a good night. haha. ( I think it was because I missed the 4 bagger )
