PROM!!!!

Prom was freaking amazing this year! I kid you not! Heather was a fantastic date and I had the time of my life! Incredible night.

We started by kidnapping the girls (Myself, Tyler, Brayden Williams and Jared Lowry) at 7 am. Tyler took Ali Warnick, Brayden took Sara Smoot, Jared took Katie Stuart and I took the beautiful Heather Parrish. We took them to breakfast at Brayden's house. From there we commenced a picture scavenger hunt, which was pretty much amazingly fun! haha. At about noon we dropped our girls off and then got ourselves ready (after taking a quick catnap of course hahaha) I picked Heather up at about 4:45 and we took some pics (you know how mom's are) at her house and my house. Then we made the journey to saltlake, Where we had a proffessional take our pictures in the capital court yard. That lasted about an hour and I have to say our dates looked GORGEOUS!!! So beautiful in fact I dont think it was fair to all the other girls! We took pictures for about an hour and then we went to go eat dinner at "The Garden" There we just happened to run into the young women's president Sister Tanner who in fact was chatting with Elder Neilson of the quarom of the twelve! He said hi to us and our girls took a picture with Sister Tanner. She thanked our girls for dressing so modestly and told us guys to treat 'em like queens. Dude they were NOT queens.....THEY WERE GODDESSES! haha After dinner (which was delicious by the way) we went to the dance. We got there at about 8:30 pm and Danced the night away!

The Dance ended at 11 so after the dance we headed to Jared and kinda snacked on a chocolate fountain which was really good...except for the fact that I ate a chocolate covered orange. Heather is deathly allergic to anything with orange in it. Even gum! So....you can imagine why this became a quick problem. Yeah i was mad. So i dropped her off and the awkward doorstep scene didnt even happen because her mom (her timing was incredible) opened the door the second we hit the doorstep! Im not kidding. And that...is how my prom night went...amazing, fun, and a little interesting.

There Is Never Time For a Bad Attitude.

During seminary I watched a video about a guy named Tyler. He was an athletic prodigy, a gifted and handsome boy. He was on top of the world. Had a beautiful girlfriend, poplularity, good grades good family and good friends. It seemed that nothing could touch him. Then he got into a terrible car accident and became paralized. During his long period in the hospital, his friends tried to cheer him up with jokes and such. When they left he said to his Dad "there will be plenty of time for jokes". His Dad with tears in his eyes said "yes son, there is a time for everything." Tyler looked at his Dad and said "NO dad. There is never a time for a bad attitude."

Tyler was on top of the world. But through fates turn had to percieve life all over again in a totally different way. Like he said there was no time for a bad attitude, and he excelled in his physical therapy getting better every day and exceeding every expectation with the goal of going to his graduation pushing himself in a wheel chair. He did it, though all odds told him that he couldnt. He did. Every waking moment was spent making himself better because he knew where he was going and what he wanted to do. Just like in sports...nothing could stop him. He got married to his highschool sweetheart and began a new journey with a totally knew perspective. He was on top of a totally different world.

I Connect with this story. So often when i think everything is going perfect for me, more often then not I'm brought down, and I've had to climb to the top again. Each time with a new perspective and new knowledge. I climb to the top of a totally different world. Lately, I've been very bitter about it though. Slow to remember the good things and the oppurtunities that now awaited me. That is something I want to fix. Though I probably will never be who Tyler was, his statement rings forever true..."there is never a time for a bad attitude!"
