As I reflect on the temple at this time, I was thinking in my mind, what other temples do I have pictures of.  I have seen many in California, Utah, and Idaho. But sadly I have only been in one of these pictured, The Mesa Temple.  And I have not seen the Gila Valley, the Gilbert or the new Phoenix Temples.

Mesa, Arizona Temple Dec 17, 2015 Took this picture of the Arizona Temple Christmas Light last night, sometime 5:30 and 6:00.  I have always been taking pictures since I was a kid.  At 16 I took a Photography in high school and had classes the next 2 years.  I would get into class so early, and head to the dark room, that by the time my teacher would see me, he would say, "Oh I did not think you were here today." I was at home sitting here, getting all my stuff ready to go, and decided to not take the tripod last night.  Well, that was not the right choice, but I still got this stunning picture last night.  I was amazed at all of the people there that were there with tripods waiting for the perfect picture.   I have a lot beautiful pictures that would be postcard or book worthy, but I really doubt my skill all the time.  My ex wife would always take my camera and take great shots.  She was really good and could see the beauty of the ...

OK, I don't have a clue where this is, but it is not far from Limerick, in Ireland, and that this was taken either in February or March of 1989.  I was still new in the mission and was have leg problems because I was not us to being on my feet all day.   This is Fiona. She is from Limerick and was Baptized by Elders Carrigan and Hunsaker in March or April of 1989.  We were over at her home for a surprise birthday party for Elder Carrigan.  Some how it turned out to be a huge water fit.  As Hard as we tried, she is still a faith member of the church.

Today I am really missing my Mom.  There are reason, and it has nothing to do with the date.  But I do miss her council. 

My 1987 I wish I was seen by who I am, and not how I look.  I know I am over weight.  But that does not make me lazy or that I sit there eating a tons of food.  I think most would be surprised at what and how much I eat everyday.   But I judge too.  I look on the dating sites and see in the profile slender or athletic and tone, or they say they love working out, I shy away from them.  If they like fourwheelers, I shy as way.  (OK that is because I have really never rode one.)  Other then that, size does not bother me much.  I am afraid of being someones project! Me Oct 20, 2014 I dated a girl once, that said she felt sad for me.  Because when she was with me, she saw how people really looked at me.  I had no idea that I was being looked and beinf judged by so many.   But maybe my size is really hurt me.  I always knew, that no one really wanted to bother me because of my size.  So I always f...

Growing up, my Grandma would take us to a lot of interesting places.  Many of them were museums and historical sites.  Vacations were not just about fun, but about learning.  It is OK to learn outside of school.  In fact it is probably better.  But we have be come a  society that hides behind our phones, playing games, Facebook, or Instagram.

I know it is December, but I wanted to update everyone on last month.  I started the month coming off a long three week vacation, not going any where, and going right into training on the Elite Desk at work.  The Elite Desk is working with the Airline Frequent Fliers who have special statues of Gold or Platinum.  This is also booking with our partner carriers around the world using miles earned.  I have just two more days of training and they let us on our own.  I have learned a lot about miles and the new system that I trained on in September.  I am one of two guys in a class of 24 people. I don't really want go over my Thanksgiving again.  But if you want to read about about it, click on  the link Thanksgiving 2015 .  I don't think I have eat that much in a very long time.  Went in to work the next day and they still had food left over from the day before.  So I had two lunches that day.  And more Apple Pie!! I started d...

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.
