My new cowboy hat, the sign of summer...

Hey yall, well its now official, I finished my last final Wednesday, and summer is finally here!!!!!!!

So now after a semester that has by far been my most challenging so far in college, is now complete. I am hoping this will help clear away this stingy, cranky attitude I've had for the past few months (although it certainly shouldnt take this lack of continued stress to make me into the kind of person I should always be).

Anyway to celebrate the start of summer, I met Ryan, Tyler, and Andrew all at the Paradisio at 10pm tonight to watch Mission Impossible 3. Walking out of the movie shortly after midnight Andrew and I noticed a tall black guy coming from the opposite direction. Upon him coming up closer we noticed it was Rodney Carney (for those who don't know, he was the star basketball player for the Elite Eight U of M Tigers this season, and he'll likely be a lottery pick in the NBA Draft in a couple months). So we walk outside (Andrew, Tyler, and I) and are standing there next to Rodney and the girl he was with, Ryan then comes out acting like its all cool as I point out the fact that Rodney Carney is standing there feet away from us (but of course he's just as shocked as we are, on the inside). Anyway I just thought that was cool so I thought I'd mention it before it fades from my mind.

Well anyway, I dont think I annouced this, but just last week I bought myself a new cowboy hat. Yes it is one I intend to bring to Harmony Hill, Camp Moriah, and anywhere like that else I go this summer. My mom found the USB cord to my parents' digital camera, so thanks to that I am now able to provide yall pics of me with my new hat (please bear in mind that I have not shaved under my chin, my sideburns, and the area between my nose and mouth, since before the Zion Rest meeting almost 2 weeks ago, so I kinda have that rugged-look with the facial hair, right now)

Also one final thing to mention and I will get to the pictures. Its not until the end of this month until it is my birthday (when I hope to get a digital camera, at least a cheap one) so until then, the only camera I have to use to provide pictures for my blog is my parents' camera. So any pictures you see until then are probably going to be only of me, and of my family. Well everyone have a great summer, and God bless:


(btw my hair doesnt really have that much gel in it anymore, not nearly what it appears in this picture, that is the just the way the light from the camera hit it, so it's giving a much brighter glow than it should)
