Thanksgiving

Okay this weekend was epic. I went to good ol' Preston, Idaho for thanksgiving and it was a blast. We ended up doing some awesome stuff. On Tuesday my dad asked us to fix some fences so we did. After that we chased cows into the place where we fixed the fence. There wasn't a whole lot of snow at our house but we brought out one of the old snowmobiles which doesnt require alot of snow and used it to chase the cows. After this we cleaned up around the farm and threw a few snowballs at each other.

On Thursday we, of course, ate some really good food and made a few pies. After dinner we went up strawberry and cut down a beautiful christmas tree. However it took us a while to figure out how to put it on the trailer because two of our straps broke that were needed to tie down the snowmobiles and there was no room for the tree, but after an hour or so we managed to figure it out and safely get home with all of our snowmobiles and the tree!

Tweeter!

Twitter. What is it? How does it work? Why do you have a twitter account? These among many other questions have been asked at me multiple times since I have been telling people about my twitter experience. To be honest, I had these same questions, actually I think everybody goes through the stage of wondering what twitter is. I know i did. I got an account about a year ago and didn't know what to do with it. However, for Mcom 320 I am forced to tweet because it is part of my grade. Now, at first, I was annoyed that i would have to tweet at least once a week, but now I can't seem to not tweet at least once a week. 

So, what is twitter? I'm sure I don't fully understand what twitter is nor what it's potential is. But it seems to be a great way to stay connected with things going on around the world. If you want to know what's going on with college football you can follow accounts that will update you on this subject. Accordingly, the same goes with any other subject one has interest in. Also, it is a great way to connect with friends and see which of your friends are witty enough to post funny tweets or, at least something that is interesting to read. All in all it is a great way to keep updated and a cool way to post a status. (much better than Facebook!) I know many are skeptical of Twitter, but all it takes is a little faith. Try following a couple people you trust and BAM you will be hooked and your life will never be the same. ever! Ok maybe it will. and maybe you'll hate it, but it IS worth a try.

Geocaching

Geocaching... what is it? I am not really sure. Its kind of like a world wide scavenger hunt. People all around the world hide caches (usually a small box) with some random goodies. Once placed they log the gps coordinates of the cache on the geocache website. Once it is logged anyone can get online, type in the coordinates and be on their way of finding some interesting treasure. 

I first heard of Geocaching from a friend a year ago. It seemed like something I would be interested in, but never really gave it a second thought. However, since then I have geocached several times. Yesterday, my friend from P-town, Idaho came down to Provo to take a break from the small town. We thought geocaching would cool so we went up rock canyon and began searching for geocaches. We attempted to find four but ended up only finding one. Sometimes the gps on my phone is not all that accurate. There is something about finding something in the wilderness that makes you feel like a man. This is called geocaching. 

IDAHO

I found a trend through out my blogs. They always explain what I did over the weekend. I dont know if its because the weekends are the only time I actually do something worth writing about or because its the last thing on my mind. Both are probably pretty accurate. Nevertheless, this weekend was bomb! I went back to P-town aka Preston, ID. Ya the place where Napoleon Dynamite is from, and the place of the famous preston night rodeo.
The main reason for me driving to Preston was to hang out with the fam because my brother just received his mission call to Atlanta, GA! We had a great time together reminiscing about our missions and getting him pumped to go serve the Lord and the people of Georgia for two years! He will be a stud missionary.
Also we were able to play on our new backyard. More specifically, we played some 3 on 3 football. It was dope. Overall, it was a super awesome weekend chillin with the fam.
