Some Great Looking Pie
Baked Goodness
It's too bad it didn't taste as good as it looked. You see, I decided to make two pies and after I had the ingredients combined I realized I didn't have enough Corn Syrup. I called Brent and Amber and they were kind enough to let me borrow some. The problemn arose when I had to leave the the mixture to get more syrup. The melted butter solidified and it just didn't mix well.
I baked the pies and then tasted one of them and they just were not good. They tasted like eggs and were not sweet. So although they looked beautiful they didn't taste that way. It was tragic.
GOOOAAAALLLLLL!
During the first half the New York Red Bulls (don't ask why they are in the Western Confernce, nobody knows) scored a goal. For the second half Real Salt Lake was trying to score on our end. They had so many shots and they either went off the posts or was just a little wide. It was an intense game that ended in an intense loss 0-1. But it was totally worth going.
What do you do about the smoke bombs?

The Last New Roommate
Mike moved in last night at about 11 PM. His sister and my old roommate Jeff (the guy that lived here, but didn't) are getting back from their honeymoon today so he figured he should move out of the place they were planning on living.
So far we've gotten along great. We've established that both of us fall asleep really quickly, we're heavy sleepers and even if someone does wake us up it doesn't make us angry. The other thing that makes me think is that when I walked into Sunday school today Mike was already sitting at a desk and I looked at the front table and saw that there was a plate of cookies and I said "I totally picked the right class today" and Mike replied, "That's exactly what I said when I walked in!" It's going to be good times.
Hikus
Will. Firm statement of intent
Will: His will be done
After Sunday School Casey came up to me and said that. Followed by "That's right, I spent the class making a Hiku out of your name. I also have one for Jun."
Jun. A month - a man

Giving a Talk
Yesterday I got a call from the Ward's Exec. Sec. asking if I would be willing to give the closing prayer in Sacrament Meeting. I immediatly said "Sure" As I said it something popped into my mind and I finnished that sentence with ".... but you might want to know that I'm going to be giving the closing talk."
Yep, I remembered at 12:30 in the afternoon on Saturday and didn't get done working until about 8:45 that night.
Overall the talk went well. Last week when the 2nd councilor called he spent about 2 minutes explaining what he wanted me to talk about, after he was done talking I responded "So you just want me to give my reflections and insights from General Conference." So I did. luckely for me I didn't get too nervous because the girl before had a cool English accent and I was just entertianed listening to her that I totally forgot about me having to speak next. When it came to be my turn I just stood up and talked and it was all good.

Too Healthy
One Crazy Weekend
After spending the night at Jeff's house (because Allie, Lee, Jeff and Laura were at our home) I got ready for Grandpa's surprise party before heading down to Provo. The party was a lot of fun. I don't think I've even seen Grandpa so emotional. He truly was surprised. I was great to listen to each his kids tell stories about him and things that they learned from him. It was a wonderful experience.
After the party Allie, Lee, Jeremy and myself headed down to Provo for the game (Dad and John took off as soon as the cake was eaten and half of the pictures were taken). As we went outside to the parking lot of the restaurant it was snowing a very wet snow, which was great to see. Traffic was clear the entire way down to Provo. Even on University Parkway the traffic wasn't any worse than on a normal day, which made it possible for me to be in the stadium 15 min after kickoff. BYU won, it wasn't an amazing win but it was a win none the less. To cap off the evening I went on a date with Julie. I know Julie from working at Jamba Juice. I asked her to one of the Homecoming Dances. We went to Brick Oven Pizza with a group (mainly people I know from High School) and then to the dance. After the dance when I took Julie home she asked if I wanted some hot chocolate so we enjoyed some hot chocolate and then played a game of Doctor Mario on her Nintendo. It was a great night.
Sunday was Elizabeth's blessing so the family was together again. I've never been part of a blessing and it was a neat experience. Brent hadn't asked me to be part of the circle so when the Bishop announced her blessing and asked for Brent and those he invited to come up I had to look at Brent to see if he wanted me. I could see the debate in his mind and I think the only reason he nodded was because Dad was giving him the evil eye. We had fun lunch at Brent and Amber's, it was there that I remembered about a vegetarian potluck that I had been invited too but had nothing to bring. Luckily for me Amber was kind enough to donate some things for me to put together a very nice Vegetarian Chili. After the wildly successful potluck I headed back to Brent and Amber's to return the spices they let me borrow, oh and Brent's car too and was tricked into playing a game... okay so that's a lie, I was looking forward to playing with them. After beating them solidly in a game of Ticket to Ride I headed home on the Scooter and that's how I ended up with his Orange Jacket mentioned in the last post. It was cold and I couldn't feel my hands or ears when I got home but I was happy because it was an awesome weekend.
Next post will recap Mon-Wed of this week which has been awesome as well. The highlights including "My first Econ Test" and "Movie Night at Will's Place". Be sure to check back!

Swimming
Next come the jammers of last year's style.
So there you have it. I'm going to rule this pool. I'm going to be a speed demon. No one shall be able to keep up with me. This is great preparation for the Triatholon that Brent, Amber and I are going to be doing next year. Don't worry, it's not going to be a full one. It's nice and small but a triatholon none the less.

English Lessons
Although the other day Jun called me crazy and I replyed "Crazy like a fox!"
Cookies
For me Monday, Labor Day, was the last day of Summer and the beginning of school. A day I've been looking forward to for a long time. Come Monday night I was feeling a little sad for some reason and there's only one thing that truly cures those pre-school blues... Cookies!
It just so happened that part of my shopping was getting random baking ingredients, with those and a few ingredients left by the previous roommates (vanilla, butter, chocolate chips) we created a poor batch of cookies using the Toll House Recipe.
Jun has never had homemade cookies and he was very intrigued by what was doing. After I had finished the cookie dough I had a bitof it and I offered it to Jun. He wasn't sure what to do and then I told him to eat it. His eyes lit up like a child that was let loose in a candy store. All he could do was bring his hands up to his mouth and make circular motions and syaing "It's so... It's so... Sweet! It's so good!" He enjoyed the dough. Then I baked the cookies and like I said they didn't turn out quite as I had hoped but they were still good. I just made on pan on Monday night and they were eaten by the three of us (Yeong was there but he didn't say much, he did like them though).

And It Doesn't Look a Mile Over 5,000...
It happened yesterday. For almost half a month I've been keeping an eye on the odometer, making sure that I wasn't going to miss this special occasion. Saturday I made my weekly trek to Brent and Amber's so that I could do my laundry and I saw that it was about it turn so after dropping off my cloths I took a spin around the block then went to the church parking lot of photograph the occasion of it going from this...

Football is Back!
Back when I was in Montgomery I was walking through the Wal-Mart on Ann St (I'm sure you're all familiar with that one) and in the salon that they have there I saw a bottle of Blue Ice Spiker Gel for 60% off. It was just too good of a deal to pass up. At that point football season may have been 6 months away but that wasn't going to stop me from getting prepared.
So there I was decked out with blue hair and all and it was off to the game I went. And from there things didn't turn out quite as planned. It turns out that Jonah's Sportspass never made it through and so he won't be atteneding the games. Truely a tragity. I got to my seat on the East Blechers about ten rows from the top 20 minutes before the game started. The sun was beating on me and at that point some common sense kicked in and I thought to myself "I am going to get fried out here, I need sunblock. My hair is spiked and my scalp is exposed, that's going to kill!" I called my dad to see if he had any sunblock at the game, but he didn't. I went over to go see him and John anyway and it just so happened that they had bought new hats so my Dad let me use his old one. That is one of the few times that you will see me wearing a hat when I'm not forced to at work, I'm not a hat person.
The game didn't turn out as well as I had hopped. Sure we won 41-17 but there were too many fumbles and they just didn't look as sharp as the Crimson Tide did against Clemson. Roll Tide!
Results
He's okay! The test results came back last night and he doesn't have TB. I didn't get the call until about 9:30 this morning so I spent the night in the Hotel again. Overall it was good times. I got to sleep in a queen sized bed with three pillows and I got $20 worth of free food.

Adventures In TB
As most of you know I work at Jamba Juice. It's a great working environment and I enjoy it. Today as I was at Jamba I was in the back and I felt my phone vibrate. I pulled it out and saw that I had a new voicemail. I didn't recognize the number that I missed and I thought I should check it because it might have been from an HR lady that I try as I might I can't get ahold of (more on that in another post). Well, it wasn't her. Rather it was a lady from my aprtment complex telling me that it was extreemly important I call her back before I return to my apartment. I thought I'd call her back right then, even though we are not supposed to have our phones on us at work I thought this sounded important. It was. It turns out that Yeong's TB test came up positive. She was calling me to tell me that the code to our apartment had been changed, we were not to go in without a mask and that she had booked a hotel room for us to stay in if we need it that our meals would be on the apartment complex. Yeong would have some more testing done and we would see if he really does have tuberculosis.
I'll be sharing the room with a Jeff. I say "a Jeff" because I found out talking to the apartment lady that there are going to be two kids named Jeff in my apartment. Two Jeff's and two Koreans... Well, two Koreans if one of them isn't shipped out of the country. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
So that's it for this entry. I'll let you know how things turn out as soon as I know anything more.
