DENVER BABY!!!!!

Well good morning everyone, this post is coming to live from Denver Colorado. Finally summer has begun and what a feeling to be done with school, a great song comes to mind, “schools out for summer” sang by Alice Cooper. What an awesome feeling to have, no papers to write or tests to study for. I started work on Monday and have been very busy; they have me working over at HQ instead of the metallurgical lab. So on the trip down to Denver my mom and aunt rode down with me and it was a blast, it would be really boring drive from Montana without someone with you, especially in Wyoming, how boring is Wyoming, let me answer that, BORING.
Great news everyone, I have already gone to my first Rockies game of the season. Monday the Rockies played the Giants and beat them, which was AWESOME because they have been in a huge slump lately. EVERYONE, I will be going to Dave & Buster’s tonight with my mom, Elaine & Lisa my mother’s friends and April. Only April and I have been there so we are really excited to take them there.

My boss got me my gym membership yesterday like they did last summer and I’m really excited to get working out again. Especially since the club I work out at is FREAKING SWEET, this club is the type of club that you see in the movies, when I say that I mean its type of place that women go there and wear tennis outfits with their diamonds and then just have drinks (LOL).

Well everyone I got to get back to work, I will keep you updated, and will be posting some sweet pictures, I’ll update this post after tonight with some pictures from DAVE & BUSTER’S!!!!!

Spring Ball

Hey everyone, I hope that your Easter went awesome and everyone got to participate in an Easter egg hunt (LOL). So I thought I would give everyone an update on how spring ball has been going. Practices have been a lot different than most of us are use to. Practice tempo is crazy fast compared to last spring’s and we are playing very well. This spring we have had to dodge the weather more than usual, we all keep telling coach Morrell that we have never had this much snow in any spring ball in the past, he just laughs. Our team voted on team captains for our 2011 campaign and I was selected by the team to represent them along with Kevin Schey. It was a great feeling to be voted captain of our football team. So back to practices, we have been getting after it during our practices, we have been working hard and the coaches have been pushing us in the weight room and on the field. Coach Morrell tells us almost every day that the coaches are going to push us to our breaking point, that it will not be fun and that he only knows one way to have fun and that is to WIN WIN WIN football games.

So we had school off last Friday but since we have missed so many practices due to the weather being so bad we had to stick around until Saturday afternoon, which sucked because going home for three days would have been really nice to have, but we needed to practice so we can get all of our sixteen practices in before spring ball is all over with. Coach didn’t want to keep us here over the break but he knew that the team would rally around his decision. So on Sunday my dad, Vance and I got to go fishing and let’s just say it was awesome. We caught around fifteen rainbow trout and here is a picture of my big boy I caught. I hope everyone had a great Easter and I will check back in before semesters are over.

SPRING BREAK!!!!!!

Hey everyone I hope you all are having a great SPRING BREAK
because I’ am. I have fished three times
already and we have caught thirty six fish so far, but only have kept around
five. We love to go catch a boat load of
fish and we find no need to keep all the fish we catch, so we release most of
them. My dad and I went the first day,
my grandpa and cousin Blake came over on Sunday and fished and then Vance my
future brother in-law, my dad and I went today.
We are really fortunate that the weather has really been good for us
because usually during my SPRING BREAK the weather usually consists of snow,
rain or wind, but this SPRING BREAK so far has been awesome weather. Here are some pic’s of today’s catch’s, mine
is the biggest one we have caught this SPRING and Vance’s is probably the
smallest one this SPRING BREAK, but you can make that call for yourself.

We are at the mid-term of the semester in school. I’m really excited for the summer to come so I
can return to Denver for another awesome summer. Last summer was such much fun, going to
Rockies games, water parks and golfing was such a blast and loved being down
there. I’m excited to work at a different
building not because I didn’t love working where I did last summer, but just
the chance to meet new people and get different opportunities.

Well everyone I hope you all have a great SPRING BREAK!

R.I.P Grandma

Hey everyone I’m sorry that I haven’t blogged lately but my grandmother passes away a week ago today and yesterday was her funeral and I have just been really busy lately with a lot of family in town and other stuff. My grandmother was 77 years old and is in a better place now. My grandpa and grandma were married for 57 years and it has really been hard on my grandpa to deal with this.

On a different note I got a 100% on my Financial Markets and Institutes test last week and I think I did very well on my Microsoft Access last Thursday. School this semester has been really busy, I feel like all I do is write papers, upon papers, upon papers. Since this is really my last semester of school it doesn’t really bother me at all. When I say this is really my last semester of school , I mean that I will have my Business Degree completed this spring semester but will come back next fall to play my last year of football. Next fall I will pick up a minor in communications because I think it’s an important thing to make yourself diversified when employers are looking at you next to another person. Well everyone I hope that you all have a great week, next blog will be an update on MullFest that is coming up the first week of March.

Back to School.......

Hey everyone I hope you all had a great first week of school and hopefully your professors didn’t give you homework over the first weekend. We had our first meeting with our new coach on Thursday which went very well; we went over the change in how we take care of our grades and such. You should see our grade book that we have to keep and fill in for every one of our classes. First of all I think it’s a great process so everyone can be eligible for next season. Coach Morrell has also implemented a study table that is mandatory for all new players to the program and all players who are in academic jeopardy. Then weekly we have to show coach our academic progress to show him that we aren’t slacking or doing poorly in class. I really believe that coach Morrell is going to turn around our football program to where it should be. I’m not saying that Coach Green didn’t do an outstanding job at all; I’m saying that Coach Morrell is a lot younger and has a lot of great ideas to bring our program to the next level. Well everyone the first week of school was pretty basic like every semester, I hope that you all have a great second week.

Great Christmas Break!!!!!!!!!

Well everyone I hope that you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New-year because I sure did. I will be heading back to Butte this Sunday to start my last spring semester of my college career, I know in other posts in my blogging career, I’ve said that I can’t believe how fast college has gone by. So for Christmas I spent it in Helena with my family at my parent’s house, we open all of our presents on Christmas Eve and then “Santa” brings us our larger present, this worked out perfectly because April’s family doesn’t open presents until Christmas morning, so she spent Christmas Eve with me and my family.

I’m also a year older now, two days after Christmas on the 27^th of December I turned twenty two years old, jeez I just can’t believe that I’m getting old, it seems like yesterday my parents were driving me to my first days of Kindergarten.

This Christmas break has been an awesome one for ice-fishing. Last year I only got out twice and this year I’ve been out eight times already. April has gone with me twice, Vance has gone with me most every time and my dad has only gone once with me. These pictures are of my Trout I caught one of the first times I went out and then the other picture is of six of the biggest Perch we caught out of twenty five Perch.

As I said earlier I will be heading back to Butte, we have a meeting with our new head coach next Thursday, so that will be interesting to have an official meeting with our new head coach. If there are any new or prospective students out there, I would really look at Tech for school and if you already have chosen Tech for school I commend you. You can’t ask for a better education, especially for the price. I’m really glad that I’m at Tech playing football and going to school, everyone I talk to always makes sure to tell me how good of a school Tech and how they wish they would have gone there. Well everyone GO DIGGERS!!!!!!

Too Much Fun!!!!

Hey everyone I hope that you all had a great finals week, if there is such a thing. Well I finished up on Thursday and came home for my mother’s 50^th birthday which was also on Thursday. I had three finals during the week and think that I did well on them all, I should either end up with four A’s and two B’s or three A’s and three B’s so I’m not really that worried about it. Well last week we met with our future head coach of Montana Tech Football, well we met with the two finalists for the job. Our team was fairly well split on which coach we liked the most, they both bring different aspects to Tech Football, which is always a good thing.

So for my mother’s 50^th Birthday party we threw her a surprise party out at the Montana City Grill last weekend before finals week. My dad and I went and snuck down to Idaho and got my aunt, my mom’s sister so she could come to the party. She found out that a bus runs down from Twin Falls to Idaho Falls for only forty dollars, so it’s way cheaper than driving or flying. We don’t get to see her a lot since she lives in Twin Falls, but when we do, we always have a ton of fun. So my aunt was here for ten days, we had to take her back to Butte so she could get back on the bus for her journey home. I really like it when she comes up and see’s us, we have a lot of fun, probably too much fun.

Well Christmas break came just in time; I need some much needed R&R. I will be doing some lifting, ice fishing, sleeping and gaming over break. Then next semester I will be taking five classes which should be a lot easier than my seven I took this semester. Well everyone If I don’t get back on before Christmas, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
