Assertive
For the first time in my life I was able to describe myself as assertive. Awesome, I know. It's been dealing with my ex girlfriends this last few months. Also, I now have a goal to lose 25 lbs by my birthday. I figure 25 lbs will be a good amount, considering the first 10 lbs is just water. I'm already off to a really good start, one full day with excercise and eating right. Now, just 2.5 more months to go. 25 lbs is really only half of my goal, I'd like to lose around 50, but I figure that 25 will be a good kickstart. In other news, stuff happens..... and things..... with the stuff. So that's good. (I don't know either) I have been to the driving range a couple times the past couple weeks. I love being out in the sunshine, and I really love imagining people's faces on the ball right before I smash the crap out of it. That's fun AND rewarding. Plus it's good excercise and I've noticed that it really works my core, all good things. Not only that, but to be able to afford to go to the driving range once a week I have to give up eating out for two meals, so the benefits are two-fold. We have a home-teaching blitz again tonight. It should be fun. My companion luckily set up 2 appointments for us tonight, and the old eq president wants me to help him visit someone in between my appointments so it should be a great night. Hopefully we don't all get sick with all this crap in the air today though, my goodness. Well, I guess that's enough randomness for today. I hope everyone is doing well and if you ever want to go to the driving range, hiking, fishing or to the temple PLEASE CALL ME!! You have a standing "I'd love to go" from me, so it wouldn't even be a call to invite me, just a call to let me know what time we're going. Other than that, have a great conference weekend! :)

Happy Pi day!
Several things on my mind today.
First, I'm done venting about Emily so I can open this back to the public. (I've deleted all those posts in case you're wondering what I'm talking about)
Second, as some of you have heard I have a new calling. They released me from the elders quorum and three hours later the stake exec sec called to set up an appointment to meet with a member of the presidency. Not really that excited. Anyways, so now I am an assistant ward clerk. This makes two years in a row that I got to stand and be sustained at ward conference. Actually, they read my name twice today on accident. The calling is going well. It's really more of my type of work, kind of behind the scenes, important stuff. It has already been kinda fun working more closely with the bishopric, getting to see them out of the routine stuff. Luckily our ward clerk does an amazing job. The kid is on the ball. He reorganized the entire filing system, well, the way he described it wasn't much of a system to reorganize. I got to count all of the tithing last week and this week, which was fun. You know how I love to count and organize. And so far there haven't been any discrepancies in the totals, something that I hear doesn't happen too often.
Third, things seem to be going pretty well. We had a fun bachelor party for Dan Ellsworth (new guy) from work. It was a blast. We took him out to Wendover and just had fun. My favorite part was when we were walking from the montego back to the rainbow and we pretended to have australian accents and russ was just lighting and dropping matches from one of the free matchbooks at one of the casinos and we just laughed and joked around. It has been a long time since I've been able to have just good open fun. We laughed a lot on that trip.
Well, hopefully I'll be able write a bit more often now. I've learned a lot this last month in therapy about my feelings being important, even though some people would have me believe otherwise. It has helped me realize that I deserve better than I let myself think, and I can do better than this. So, I'm starting over, again, and surrounding myself with people that actually care about me and can help me instead of judge me, because I'm worth it.
