This week could have been described as good, exciting, weird, or crazy. The week began with a day off on Monday and all I did was homework and went to basketball practice. Then on Tuesday, something amazing happened to me. I had a burden like no other lifted off my shoulders...er...maybe my teeth. My braces were finally taken off. I finally can look in the mirror without seeing the large magnetic field beneath my lips. I get my retainers tomorrow, but that does not cancel out my happiness that I got a barbed wire continually catching my lips detached forever. Then on Wednesday for young mens we combined with the Priests and learned a few jujitsu moves. That was a lot of fun. Our team is 3-2 in league. I haven't played in a game in league, and I don't know why. Whatever. I really don't like him, and in the most latest game against our rival, Woodbrige, we lost on a last second tip shot by their team. I don't really care since I did not play. As a family we went with the Alpine Myres and saw BYU beat SDSU in front of a hostile crowd due to a monster game by Jimmer Fredette.

Hey! This week was New Years, and we had a the Rasmussens over for New Years Eve and then the Alpine Myres came over the next day and we went to Knotts Berry Farm. On New Years Eve, We just stayed home and chilled with the cousins. It was a lot of fun watching Travis Pastrana jump 269 feet and then we watched Wanted. (Clean) We had a lot of fun that night, and we had a lot of eggnog. (Thanks to Uncle Brian) The next day we went to Knotts Berry Farm, which was a lot of fun too. We rode rides, but after a while, we got bored. We decided to play Sardines, which is where you have one person hide, (or in our case, one pair) then other pairs go to find them then stay with them for the rest of the round. Evan Myres and I were the first to be it. Austin and Isaac were the first to find us, then we hit a time of about and hour when no one found us. We went on to the log ride, and got wet. Then we got caught by Camille and Bethany. Then Alec and Maranda. Then we just called Grant and Mateo because they would not have found us. Then we went on a few more rides and then left to go and eat. We ate at the Knotts Berry Farm Chicken Dinner resturant, and I got the Chicken and Dumplings meal. It was actually really good. We went home, and pretty much sat around with cousins, then went to bed. The next day, at 7:00, My dad, Brian, Austin and I went golfing on the same executive course that my dad, Tommy, my dad's client, his son and I went on that same monday. (Executive courses are not any better than other courses as their name states, they are just smaller.) The first time I had golffed was that earilier monday, and I hit a 59. That time I hit a 46. Pretty good for a second time. Austin got a 58, and Brian and dad just beat us.
