Happy 4/20
Happy 4/20!!!
I'm going to make a bold statement here and say this will be the last year marijuana will be illegal in the United States. Whether you're against marijuana or not, the legalization of this "drug" is coming sooner or later.
Assuming the world doesn't end this year (haha), I believe by 4/20/2013 marijuana will be legalized nationwide.
So for everyone out there celebrating, Happy 4/20! Have a wonderful day.

I Love You
Such simple words to say when you don't mean it, but when you do, it's entirely different. I've said these words before and have meant them, sometimes it doesn't work out, but there may be only one person I would take it back from.
Which bring me to my main point. There has been a woman that I have had my eye on for some time. By no means do I love her, I mean it's not a phrase I take lightly, but there is something about her. I don't know what it is about her, but just the thought of her drives me crazy. She's pretty, seems cool, but there is something else, something I can't quite put my finger on, that just drives me wild.
You could say she's been somewhat of a crush of mine, ever since I met her she's always kind of been in the back of my mind.
Here lies the problem...
I've talked to her, quite a bit actually, but I've never told her how I really feel about her. How do you tell a woman like that how you really feel? I've been through my share of failed relationships and I hate rejection, but is being rejected better than not trying at all?
Maybe one day I'll work up the courage, and maybe I should just tell her right now...but we shall see what the future holds.

December 21, 2012
I know there is much speculation around this date, but I want to know what YOU think is going to happen on this (soon to be) historic day.
The thought that one day it will be historic gives you a hint of what I think. I think we will survive to see December 22, 2012, well, some of us anyway.
I think that fateful day will be nothing more than hype, just like Y2K. The day will be talked up so much and over hyped that people will be prepared for the worse. People will riot, loot, and whatever else they need to do on their last day on Earth. That is exactly what I think is going to happen, just people killing each other and destroying everything around them until they all realize that nothing catastrophic is going to happen.
Almost everything that has been speculated about December 21 has been proven to be false for the most part, but what do YOU think is going to happen? Is it going to be the end of the world? Is it going to be some miraculous event that will change the world forever? Or will it just be nothing, nothing but hype?
The day is coming closer, and before we know it, it will be here. How are you going to prepare?

Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th...
I know I've mentioned my superstitions before, but I want to know what other people think of this mysterious day.
To me, I don't know what Friday the 13th really means, but being as superstitious as I am, I don't like this day very much. Even though to most people, it's just another normal Friday, go to work, go home, celebrate another week done, I have a different feeling. I don't know if it's just the lore behind the day, or the number 13 itself, but I get a really eerie feeling on this day and I make sure to be extra cautious.
Enough about me, I want to know what do you think about this day? Is Friday the 13th just another day to you, or is it something more?
Unfortunately, I have to work until midnight tonight, when I would rather just sit in my house and do nothing tonight.
So tell me, what do you think of Friday the 13th and what are you doing on this day?

How you doing?
Does anyone even read these posts?
I know someone has viewed my blog 75 times, but is anyone really even reading what I'm writing. I'm not really concerned, as I have mentioned before, because this is more of a way to get things off my mind and just share what's going on in my life. However, I am interested to know who reads these posts and what they think.
Here's the mission for tonight, if you read this, tell me how you're doing, how your day was, what you're doing, whatever you want to comment, really. Tell me something. Deal?
I hope everyone is having a wonderful night, I shall check back with you all soon. Goodnight.

Family Strong
I have returned back to North Dakota from our family trip to Colorado. I must say, I am glad to be home again and able to sleep in my own bed. However, it is never easy to leave my family in Colorado. I don't cry very often, but I have a hard time watching other people cry, especially my mom. When I see my mom cry, it's almost impossible to keep my eyes from tearing up. Maybe it's because I've always been a mommy's boy and seeing her cry means I know she's hurting in some way. My brother and his wife gave her the first two and only grandchildren she has and it is always hard for her to leave them as it is for all of us. The entire way home she was just looking at pictures and videos from the trip over and over again. I know that we will all see each other soon though and that's what pulls us all through.
We have always been a pretty close family. If something is happening in one of our lives, it affects all of our lives.
While we were all down in Colorado, my sister received a text from a friend that is currently in the hospital due to prenatal complications. She is doing fine, just has to remain in the hospital for the remaining weeks of her pregnancy. In the text she wrote how our family deserves a medal because we made a 1600 mile round trip to Colorado to be there for the birth of Carter. She goes on to say how she has been in the hospital for five days and none of her in-laws have come to see her even though they live within 100 miles of the hospital.
My entire family listened as my sister read the texts aloud and you could tell by the shock on all of our faces that this thought had never crossed our minds. We basically packed and flew to Colorado at the drop of a dime. A medal might be an exaggeration, but that's how our family is. We're there for each other, no questions asked.
With Easter weekend winding down, I just want to say love your family. You might not always see eye to eye, but they are your family and they always will be. I love all of my family and I honestly don't think I would even be alive today if it wasn't for all of them.
Here's a couple of more photos from our trip. Hope everyone will take some of what I said to heart.

Happy Easter
Hello Everyone, another short post, but I felt it was as good of a day as any to post again since it IS Easter.
Some exciting news for my family. Yesterday, at 8:45 am, my brother and his wife welcomed my new nephew into the world, Carter Huntley. We are all very thankful to have this new addition to our family and especially thankful that we could all be present in Colorado for the birth.
There is some question as to how my niece Alexis will handle having a little brother around the house. Yesterday at the hospital she said she loved him but I don't think she completely understands that the baby is coming home with them, forever.
Anyways, I hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter, especially college students, like myself, whom get an extended weekend. :)
Here's a few photos of Carter and the rest of my family.

Back in the CO
I'm going to keep this pretty brief because it's been a long day and it's already 1:00 am, but I'm back in Colorado!
Even though I was just here less than a month ago, my family all flew back down to Colorado to see the rest of our family. Also, my brother and sister-in-law are expecting their second child (a boy) to be delivered via c-section on Saturday morning.
So that's my story for now, maybe I'll throw up another post once the baby is born and we have pictures. For now though, hope everyone has a great Easter, if you're into that kind of thing, and goodnight to all.
