"Way down yonder by the Chattahoochee..."

So I have news for those of you who haven't heard, I'm going to go live down Georgia! I am going to go down in April, after this semester is over. I will be living with Mandi and Aaron and their family. I'm really excited because both times I have gone down there to visit I didn't want to leave. So I will be there for Brandon's graduation and I will get to see the new arrival Baby Gwen.
The other day was my friend Josh's birthday and for his birthday we went to a rodeo. It was pretty impressive. I haven't been to a rodeo since I was like 12. When I went to visit the Mills in Malad with Carol, we went to a rodeo. All I remember from then was mutton busting. My favorite events from this rodeo was bulldoging and bull riding.
After the rodeo we all went to the firehouse and Josh showed us around and told all these cool facts about the fire trucks and the ambulances. The fire hat that I am wearing is Josh's, one of the guys we were with tried on Josh's whole fire outfit. I have been to the fire house before and tried on Josh's stuff so I didn't have the want to do it again. So I thought wearing the helmet would do.
Sunday I went with Geri over to Katie's, and Geri made matching shirts for her and her boyfriend Shane. They turned out pretty good I was impressed, I want make one for myself eventually.

Monday after FHE my home-teacher/friend/roommate's boyfriend, Jared came over. Jenney and Loni were wrestling and when ever my roommates wrestle I don't like to get involved because I know I could hurt one of them easily. Watching them wrestle was kinda pathetic because it looks like they barely try. Also near the end one got hit in the head and that was the end of it for her. She promptly went to her room and shut the door. That is why I don't wrestle with girls. Then Jenney and Jared stared play wrestling and Jared pinned her rather quick. I sat there and tried to coach Jenney how to get out of it but she lacked experience and strength. She then said Jared and I should wrestle. I hesitated but eventually agreed. Jared is a little shorter than I and weighs five lbs less then I do, but he is a boy and boys are naturally stronger. It felt like we were wrestling forever but it was probably only like 3 min. Jared won, but we were both breathing so hard and we were exhausted. It was a fun little match, I was tempted to fight dirty like I do when I wrestle with Isaac (pull his ear or hair, bend his finger backwards, or pinch him), but I decided this match should be all about strength.

This is a video I took while I was at the rodeo.
