IM IN UTAH

Barrel of My Life

Tuesday, Newport Beach, dawn patrol, final day of Fabiola hurricane swell. It was like 3-5 occasional 6' racy lefts that we're SUPER hallow. I took this 6' left that lined up really well. I got tones of speed and pulled into the barrel, completely untouched, and travelled in it for at least 6-8 seconds! It seriously felt like what I imagine indo or Fiji is like. There were guys down the line up cheering me on cuz it was soooo sick. Didn't quite make it out though, but still super stoked.

Always Hooze

How did you not get stung??? I wish you did get stung, teach you a lesson.

3 Times if it was Hooze

That's pretty neat guys. I hiked once. So last week's Tuesdee, I went surfing at O-side harbor just south of the North Jeddie and it was fun and I trunked it. As I was walking out at about mid to upper shin, I kicked something. I looked down to see what it was, and it was a freaking stingray! Then I cast my eyes round about, and I was in the midst of a SWARM of stingrays! Right in the middle of 15-20 of 'em!The waves were pushing them around and I had to jump and jig and dance my way back to the sand. Amazingly, I didn't even get stung, but if I were Hooze, at least 3 times. Also, my surfing frequency of late has gone from like once every week and a half to at least 3 times a week....stoked. And Fabio has brought us some surf this last week and it makes me :)

Hiked Mt. Timp With Dudes

Tim, Joe and I just hiked Mt. Timpanogos this past weekend.  Many of you prolly have already seen pics on facebook, but I thought I'd share a couple more with you.  Mt. Timpanogos is the second tallest mountain in Utah (close to 12,000 ft.) so it had a pretty remarkable view at the top.  We started hiking on Friday night at 6:37pm and set up camp at around 9:15pm. We awoke the following morning at 3:30am and finished hiking to the summit just in time for the sunrise.  I want to do more hikes like this.  It was so sick being out in nature and just taking in the beauty God created for us.  Life is great.

I was gunna add these pics on facebook but I just decided not to.  Sorry Tim it would just be too much money.

French Fries IN THEM

I had 3 of those burritas yesterday for breakfast.  It really hit the spot.

Anyway, it's been a good while since i've posted about my life on here so i'll just go ahead and fill you all in.  Last week Alex's family drove up here and stayed the week at my parents cabin.  It was sweet.  Our boat is up here so we took it out three times and got tons of wake surfing in.  We also went downhill mountain biking in Park City which makes me want to go buy one of those bikes now.  SO FUN.  But ya, the whole week was so great to just be hanging with Alex and her family.  I'm so blessed to have great in-laws who I enjoy being around.  I cant imagine being married to a woman and not getting along with her family.

I've been super busy with work and school lately.  I have been taking classes non stop for about the past 6 semesters.  Sucks.  I'm sick of school.  Luckily I'll be all done by this next April.

My Dad, Joe and I are flying to Tanzania in exactly a month from today to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro.  I am so stoked about that.  I'm just gunna liesten to that Africa song by Toto the whole time.  I recently purchased a pocket video camera so I'm planning on documenting the trip and editing it for you all to view.  It's gunna be a trip of a lifetime!

Well, there are a ton of other things I could post about but I'll just leave it at that for now.  I just want you all to know how lucky and blessed I am to be married to the best girl alive.  I encourage all of you who aren't married yet to get out there and work on it.  I have never felt so much joy and happiness in my life since being married.  The blessings are endless.  Keep your heads high and dont get down when leads dont work out!

Prolly the funniest video I've EVER seen!

Lost another lead

Got this message from Kallie last night:
"hey paul. i have had something on my mind for the past couple of weeks and i need to talk to you about it. i am starting to realize that you may have stronger feelings for me than i thought you did. please correct me if i am wrong but my intuition tells me this is true. i just have to be completely clear with you in that i don't think of you as more than a friend. i think you are an incredible person and i enjoy talking to you so much but i honestly thought that our feelings were mutual in the sense that you only thought of me as a good friend too. this is extremely difficult to say because you are the last person i would ever want to hurt. i really value our friendship and you as an individual. i have learned so many things from you and have enjoyed spending time with you. if i have lead you to believe that i have stronger feelings for you, i am truly sorry. i also apologize for disclosing this through a facebook message but i didn't have the guts to confront you about this over the phone or in person when you come to utah. when you do come, i still would really like to see you. however, if you feel otherwise, i understand. i do hope we can remain friends.
-kallie
p.s. if i have been mislead please let me know."

 
I said her intuition was right and some other bullsh.


I'm over losing leads, it pisses me right off. We had skyped the night before and everything was great. I keep either getting Clonts'ed or Hooze it and its getting really old.

In other news, I got called as the first counselor in the Elder's Quorum Presidency. I've been doing some sweet hikes and cool adventures seeing that I leave the Island in a month. I'm doing sales for a solar company and should be making some good money here. Jerusalem is going well, just finalizing my loans so I can pay for it. that's about it.


Dave, Ryan, and Matt really need to get their thumbs out of their asses and write on this blog.
