Didn't Get It

Well I just read our assigned poems and maybe I am just dense, and that is probably the case, but I didn't really find them that interesting. Maybe if I knew the background of the poems they would probably seem a little more important, but for me right now I wasn't that impressed. I will say that I liked Blake's poems better than Woodsworth's. I got the idea from reading Blake's poems that he was a very religious man who believes in God and I think that is why I was able to connect with his poems a little better. The poem that I found most intriguing was the Chimney Sweeper because I felt like it was a poem of hope. Here this boy was who had experienced a very sad life up to this point and now because of a dream that he had, he was filled with a new found hope that everything would turn out fairly in the end. That is one of the things that I love most about the plan of happiness; that everyone is going to get an opportunity in this life or the next to accept the Gospel and return to our Father's presence.

Busy

Well this past weekend I had to go home to California to plan some stuff for the wedding and my fiance had her bridal shower as well. I don't know if any of you have gotten married during the semester, but it can make the semester quite interesting with all the different things going on. Luckily my future wife has already graduated from college so as least she doesn't haven't to deal with classes etc. Some of you might ask why are you getting married in the middle of the semester? Well... My mission President told me as I left the mission that it didn't matter when I got married, but that once I found that special one that I knew I wanted to marry for time and all eternity I needed to get married as quickly as possible and not let anything else come in the way of that. That is one reason and another is that my fiancee's sister is getting married after this semester so we either have to do it in February or wait until June or August. We both feel that we know this right and what is the point in waiting if you already know that it is right? So we are so excited to be getting married in 19 days, but like I said it makes this semester very interesting with classes and the job and everything. But we are both ecstatic for everything that lies ahead of us.

Blogging

Well this whole blogging things is completely new to me. I don't know if it is because I have been out of the country for the past two years but since I have come back everyone has been talking about blogging and I had no idea what it even was. So when Sis. Steadman said we were going to begin a blog I thought uh oh I don't know how to do that. Then when we were in the computer lab I felt like I was 100 years old because everyone else seemed to know exactly what to do and I had no idea. I think I got a glimpse of what my dad feels like trying to keep up with all the new technology. So anyways, I finally figured it out and here I am making my first post. It is nice to be able to express your feelings and I have a feeling that as the semester goes on it will feel much more natural to express my feelings on here. Well these were and are my feelings about the exciting new world of blogging.
