One more then

I'm going to Russia. In a little more than a few weeks, I'll be going to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, UT, to learn Russian and to further prepare to be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. It's kind of a big deal for me. For two years, I'll be serving some of the people of Russia. I believe this to be the right thing for me to do in my life at this time, and I'm excited to finally be doing it! If you're interested, look up Rostov-na-Donu, Russia. The area around that city is where I will be.

Here is another one of my pictures. I need to look for opportunities to take more, but for now, all I have are more pictures flowers. I hope you don't mind.

Have you ever seen a one-footed duck?

Once again I have let this blog fall into a lull. It's a habit. I'm hopeless.

I hope to return to writing here while I have the time. We can never know when we go down other paths, or when other duties will call us away, (OK, maybe I know of one specific, one tiny example that will take me away from writing for a time, but I'll talk about that later.) so now is the time to act! To be!

I'm taking the easy route with this post though. I have some pretty pictures. I ventured into the realm of photography (Please pronounce it "photo-graffy" for me. Photograffy! Just say it out loud once, and if you don't laugh, then I have successfully proved that I am cannot construct humor.)

I took these in Provo, UT. I have a little more than a hundred, and I intend to post more if you like them. Please tell me what you think!

Well? Have you ever seen a one footed duck?

I decided I really liked this one after I pulled it off the camera. It is one of many pictures of flowers. Flowers are nice.

Valentine's Day

I spent Valentine's Day alone. It's OK, I'm fine with it.

Instead of chocolates and flowers, I cleaned a car and enjoyed driving around on a beautiful day. Instead of delving into self-pity because I lack a special someone, I fantasized about my new dream. I want something like this:

I also slept for the better part of the afternoon. Happy Valentine's Day. I hope yours was wonderful.
