New Mexico

This is what it looked like after ten minutes of thunder storms. Pretty swampy huh? and you wonder why I didn't get a very good picture of the stand.
This is the firework stand I worked at
I know it's a bad picture, but it was raining and the water was already up to my ankles

Kuma (the dog) loved to sleep and cuddle up to EVERYONE'S lap. I guess this was suitable due to the position I was in.

Volunteer work brings benefits!

We got a free ride in a hot air balloon! It only went up about 100 feet, but it was still a rush to be off the ground and see the city. I almost saw my house from where we were.





I'm also holding the very top one. We were very close.
This was my favorite hot air balloon. I really wanted to hold it
Emma and I volunteering at the Springville festival. WE felt like EVERYONE was staring at us, than we remembered that we were weaing ORANGE JACKETS!!!

Now that is BrAvErY

As i was checking my yahoo account, this picture caught my eye..... My first thought was "WHAT?! Are thoses heart boxers!" than i thought I HAVE to read this article. Turns out that the soldier who is in his pink boxers (his boxers said "I love NY")and a red T-shirt rushed out of bed to help his soldiers who being attacked by Tailban soldiers. The soldiers were on duty for 24 hours and it was HIS turn to sleep.The soldier was afraid he was going to lose his job, but he has been reassured that his job will be safe.His dedication was recogized by his troops and his country.
I thought he has to be one of the best soldiers, i mean he is completely visible to get shot at with his red shirt and he is in no condition to out run anyone in flip flops. If only we could serve other people like this soldier. What a great Christlike attribute that he posses and how i need to pay it forward to others as well. We are on this earth to preach the gospel and serve others! I was extremely happy when i read what this soldier did! Go United States of America! I salute this man!
