Springtime in the sloppies

Yes, the ice and snow are starting to melt down here too, and it's really making a terrible mess of my road. Don't anybody take this the wrong way, but please don't come to my house for a visit. At least not until the road has seen some very major improvements. I ought to take pictures. The unbelievable Trooper may not have a problem, but I can promise that any Intrepid or Sentra that makes the attempt will get stuck to the bumper and need a good yanking by a four-wheel-drive tractor. Yesterday we had to pull the van out twice. It really made me appreciate the engineering of older vehicles which, unlike our van and the car, have places readily available for hooking chains and tow straps on. The fun part was driving the tractor at high speeds (20 mph) and being surrounded by the airborne mud glops being flung from the knobby wheels, hoping that the one that just smeared my hand was as close as they were going to get from my head.

So now we're all pretty much mudded in here, unless we can hitch a ride with the neighbor to one of our cars we've parked at the top of the road.

Someday -- a well graveled or paved driveway.

I've been pondering deeply as of late about how the next little piece of my life is going to play out. I've got to get back to school and finish my degree, but I've got to be able to afford that, as well as supporting my family and contributing to savings. I would _really_ like to come up with one good idea that se me financially straight, for a while at least, and not have to worry about it, but those things are tough to nab.

Well I'm falling asleep here. May you all have a good day.

Springtime for Kedrik and Provo

Well, I certainly hope that spring is on it's way. The snow is melting, birds are chirping, people are getting engaged (not me but my two roommates).

I want to come here more often and write things but I often feel like I don't have anything to write. I am busier this semester than I have even been before. But it is good. I am learning lots of cool things. I'm being trained on the Adobe cs3 suite and it's fun. I will soon be learning some web publishing programs and that'll be great too.

I have now been in Provo for over three years straight and have not left for more than two weeks at a time. I have a desire to leave and go adventuring. Maine is calling me once again and currently my plan is to return. My brother and his family are there and have offered to house me. My brother suggested I buy a motorcycle and drive across the country. So I started looking for motorcycles and began looking into the licensing class. That would be almost more fun than I could imagine, but my rear quarter would be more sore than I could imagine as well.

Anyway, I ramble. Oh well, sometimes that's all I can do after a long day of writing articles for the paper, taking tests, etc.
I am super stoked about the new Indiana Jones movie. It looks to be lots of fun and very nostalgic for me. I must admit that after watching the teaser trailer several times I started driving more like Indiana Jones in the trooper. Boy I love that vehicle.
Anyway, I gotta run home. I have to schedule some appointments with people and visit others.
Talk to you all later.
Ked :>

Here or There I guess it doesn't matter

Check out my blog for an update sorry I disappeared a little lately.

Update: Wilderness

Well, I almost wrote a few days ago but I didn't have time to write a sufficient entry. I still don't have the time. Oh well.
After two other majors, over two and a half years, and way too much confusion---I am officially a communications major. Did I all tell you that? I got in last semester. I have a better idea oh what I want to do with my life...sort of.

I am going to school, working, etc. Not much has changed, eh? Not much has changed on the outside but so much is changing on the inside. The last six months have been the most intense learning experience of my life! I cannot begin to explain the depth the information given to me, the scope of the trials that have fallen upone me, or the height of the mountains before me.

So, in the CES fireside, Elder Tingey related a story about a family with two unmarried boys. The family attended the temple often and offered fervent prayers for the boys. They got married.
Now, I'm not marriage hungry or anything but I do seek the crowning ordinance of the temple. So, I invite all the Herd to join in prayer and temple attendance for Ked. Who knows, with all our faith combined maybe she'll walk right up and propose to me (some dream girl I don't know).
Anyway, now that that is over. Life is good. I don't know if I have anything else to say. The end?

Update: Cedar City

Well, I am still alive, and much to my chagrin I am currently in the process of trying to survive on a part time job while hoping and praying that a job will turn up so that I can get on with my life. The current plan is to get a full time job up north in the Salt Lake Area and then move up there in preparation for my attending grad school in the fall. I am almost fully applied to a Master's program at the U and then from there I hope to find a job with benefits that will pay enough that we can apply for a home loan to at least get a condo or something and get out of the renting pit of no returns. That is it for now I guess I might get some time to poke around face book a little more and see who I can see.

Christmas is upon us

Oh, boy! Did last month go by too quickly for anyone else besides me? It's already well into December, and we're getting closer to Christmas time. Melanie and I will be moving up north to Layton next week, and we will probably live there for two years or so. This summer we've decided to go to the curious land of Mini-appleless in Minnesota for Living Scriptures. Until then, I'll be growing my PPL Business as usual. It's been a blessing to be able to take 3 to 4 months away from business without it affecting our income or jeopardizing my ability to come back and still work for the company after the summer. (I could take years off if I really wanted to) I'm also thinking of taking up a part-time sales position at a car dealership or something, whatever will fit my time frame. So that's the plan for the Youngs, what's new for you guys?
