Where I would Rather Be.

 Every time I open up my laptop I am greeted with this picture.  I took this picture back in 2007.  If it looks familiar, think back to the movie Forest Gump.  This is were he stopped his run in the movie.  At one time there was a marking stating the fact. 
This was taken in the La Sal Mountains just outside Moab, Utah.  This is one of the two places I would rather be.  I have a relative that lives there, and always welcomes us to stay with her when we are in town.  There is so much to see and do.  Traveling through Monument Valley is an add bonus to the trips.  I have always discover something new every time I go back.  Hoping to go back soon!


The Picture is of Dunluce Castle.  It is in Northern Ireland.  Not many people have been here, because the hear Northern Ireland, and they think Terrorist.   But it has been a quiet place for a while now.  I love all of Ireland and could spend my time in almost any part of the Island.    But these are the places I would rather be.

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
