Wow, what a week! School is finally out, I had my final Ragazzi performance and I can now start to relax!

Yeah I had like 5 performances this week! I performed in two funerals, two Ragazzi performances, and my church choir just finished the their Christmas program (phew!). That's just about every week in my life during the Christmas season!

Dude, did you know that their was a couple of tornado warnings around here?!? And no kidding, every hill by my house was like a waterfall! Geez, crazy weather. But...... I had to take the oppuratunity! I took a nice long bike ride and found EVERY possible puddle I could! Some of them were deeper than the sidewal itself, which made it even more fun!

Well, I've got a couple of plans this winter break. I guess we'll see how they end up. Later.

Man, my head hurts so much right now. It started at about the time I started re-taking my Kinetics test for AP Chem. Yep, fun stuff. I didn't do too bad, but I didn't pass yet. Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Well, my weekend has been VERY busy. I sang two concerts with Ragazzi, and our new cd just came out! Man, it sounds SO amazing! It was recorded at Skywalker Ranch, where all of the Star Wars sound was done, where the first Third Eye Blind album was done, and literally about a million other REALLY good movies! The cd artwork looks SICK as well! You all should serious come to one of my concerts sometime just to hear me and to pick up a copy.

Yep. Schoolwork is catching up to me, and my headache is still bothering me. Maybe I'll go lay in my bed, read the Book of Mormon a little bit, and gently fall asleep. I guess I'll see all of you tomorrow. Keep sending me your love, 'cause it's the Christmas season (and I really need it.).

Later, friends!

Oh boy! It's the weekend! :)

Well, I have to do a pre-kinetics test for Ellison right now. I hope I do good, and am able to actually take the test. Well, I'm gonna need to study for it a little bit, but yeah! At least I'm not failing that class as of last report check :)

Well, my weekend is gonna be busy. 2 concerts this weekend. :) I love singing.

Don't quite know what to say now. I just said goodbye to Clara, and she forgot her calculator just now! lol

Goodbye for now, my friends!

My current location is in the school Library. It is after school, and my finer hurts. I accidntly peeled my finr nail too tiht ysterday, and it started bleeding. I've just had an interesting day. I just endd with English today. Okay, I just need to vent at this point. I am in Honors English, but there is no honor whatsoever. It is the easiest class I can remember taking THIS YEAR!!! Man, I don't do ANYthing, and I'm not learning a single thing. I would hav wanted to take AP English next year, but this class isn't preparing me AT ALL for it! I mean, Ms. Manis is nice and sweet and everything, but at this point, I'm seriously trying to comprehend how a regular class could be ANY easier!! Man, and the thing is, I'm not even trying in that class because it is so ridiculously easy. I'll probably get a B or something. Man.

Well, I forgot to take my Trig makeup test today, like I promised I would. I'm doing better than I thought I was, a C-!!! Shows you how horriblE I'm doing in that particular subject.

Man, this computer won't type the letter E!!!! I have to keep going back and retyping that stupid letter! Gosh, what a bum!!

Yeah, I've been tired and cold for just about the whole day. AND TO make things better, I just lost my train of thought. Yeah, Ashley Richtr just walked in, and we had a pleasant conversation. :)

So, I should probably go now. I'll bet my parents are waiting for me outside, so I'll keep int touch later! Goodbye.

Wow, my weekend has been SO amazing!!!

Okay, let me just get this first one off my back. You know that girl I asked out and didn't have too much of a good time? She called me today and apologized that she wasn't the nicest she could have been, and that she had a lot of stuff running through her mind. Now, I hadn't told her any of the stuff that I was venting, so this really made me feel good inside! We then spent the next hour or so just talking about whatever, and everything was much better :)

Okay, now for the REALLY awesome part of my weekend! Yesterday, I was at Sara's birthday party, and Sara introduced this one girl who nobody really knew. Her name is Mariah. Anyway, she looked really nice and no one was really noticing her, so I asked her if she wanted to dance with me! She agreed, and from there on, it was just so easy to talk to her! She said that she was going to some boarding school in some place I'd "Never heard of". Turns out it was by St. George, Utah!! (I know where that is!!) I told her that I did, and she was kinda, okay-ish? Then I told her I was Mormon, and she didn't believe me!! So I asked everyone at the party if I was Momron or not, and they all replied that I was. She was totally excited at the fact that she met a Mormon guy in California, even though she isn't herself.

Anyway, I learned that she could sing, and so I asked her if she would like to sing in the Ward Choir at church (because I'm the Ward Choir Director), and she was really wanting to come and everything! So the next morning, I was kinda wondering if she would come or not, but to my suprise there she was, walked right in and sat with the choir! She stayed for church, and it was just amazing how fast EVERYone welcomed her! She was just having a great time hanging out with all the youth at my church! Anyway, we invited her to come to some Missionary Fireside later that evening, and she agreed to come! I walked there, saw her, sat next to her and then the fireside began. Man, the talks people gave were so amazing. The main speaker was a General Authority in the Quorum of the Seventy, and he only talked for 45 minutes, and I was just wanting more because his stories and what he was teaching was just outstaning! Anyway, during the middle of that talk, Mariah leaned over and whispered "When this whole thing is over, remind me that I have to tell you something."

I agreed, and afterwards, she stood up and told me this:

"Jared, I've been having this debte with myself for a while now. I'd been going to church and everything while I was in Utah for a couple months, and you know, I feel that the this is the right church, and I agree with what the Church teaches us, and I believe in the Book of Mormon and everything. I just didn't know where I wanted to be baptized, but now I know! I want to go to THIS church, here! I want to be baptized HERE!"

Oh my goodness!!!!!! Seriously, right after hearing that, I felt the most joy in my heart than I ever remember feeling in my life! I hadn't even known her for a day, and I had already gotten her to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! Wow, so much joy and burning in my heart! She told this to many people, and everyone was amazed!!!

So...... hopefully this Sunday, there will be a baptism for her!

Oh, it IS wonderful!!!

Yeah, so I just went out on my first date, and it was............

outrageously disappointing. Geez, that experience has made me less keen on the next time I want to go out with somebody. Maybe if I was the one making the plans and I asked someone out who I had better friend connections with, then that might be a different story.

For all of you girls out there, let me just give you one HUGE tip: When you're out on a date, make sure the guy feels like a million dollors. Have you ever thought of the courage it took him to be able to actually call you or talk to you just to spend an evening with YOU??!?! Man, that's seriously some courage he's showing there, and plus think of the risk he could be taking. Also, don't just blow him off and not talk to him at all. Make him a part of your evening as well, because he's probably trying or has been trying to think of how the best way to make you happy. I was seriously outraged when my date actually told me that she'd rather sit and play with her phone than just dance with me for a little bit. I played it off, but all of the time and planning I took into this evening just wasn't worth it one bit. I was just sitting there, watching me date and one of her friends just talk about stuff that had to do with their own personel lives. Man......... I was just in the most awkward situation ever. Horrible.

Well, I really don't know what to say. All I wanted was to just hang out and have some fun, but those two simple hopes were nonexistent. Oh well. Don't get me wrong, my date wasn't a total jerk or anything, but she just wasn't worth the effort to try and make her laugh.

Oh, and don't see the movie Prime, especially on a date.

Oh my goodness!!!! The Lord is blessing me in SO many ways!!! Dang, I seriously don't know how anyone could NOT believe that there is a God, and that his church reigns on this Earth today. It seriously BAFFLES me how people can't see the plain and simple truth that God does exist and that we are his spiritual children, and that he loves us, guides us, protects us, and every once in a while gives us the stick so we can learn from our mistakes! Man, I love my Father in Heaven so much! Geez, I am SOOOO undeserving of all that he has blessed me with, but I am so grateful as well that he's shown so much mercy and forgiving to one of his children struggling on Earth.

Wow, I really hope that some people actually read this! People know that I'm Mormon and I live my religion, but I seriously don't think people actually SEE this side of me.

Man, I love all of you so much! You guys are one among many blessings that I am undeserving of. I thank my Lord in the name of Jesus Christ every night that I'm able to have friends who help me live my religion and who respect my beliefs. Thank you all so much.

Much love to you all, from the bottom of my heart.

Woohoo!!! Wow, this has been an amazing day for me!

Okay, so church went great and everything. I felt REALLY happy, more happy than I've felt in a long time. In fact, I felt so great, that I finally got the nerve to bear my testimony today in church! :) Wow, it feels awesome being able to tell others what you know to be true and express your happiness.

Anyway, that even boosted my joy for the day! I had so much courage that later in Sunday School, I............ wrote my first EVER love letter to the one girl I love SO much! Everytime I tried talking to her before then, I would always freeze up and get all nervous, which is NOT like me at all! But I gave it to her, and then she started beaming and breaking out in smiles (YESSSSS!!!).

Well, after Church, I had SOOOOO much courage, that I actually was able to break conversation with her and........... (ba ba bom) asked her out to Thursday's football game!!!!!!!!!! DANG, HOW'D I MANAGE TO PULL THAT ONE OFF?!? She said that she had to make sure that she was available that evening, but apparently it went well with her! (: Geez, you know what I got out of this whole thing?!?

2 HUGS!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Yipee! My day was great! Just goes to show you that the Lord works his miracles in VERY mysterious ways! ;)

Soooooo happy! This has been a good weekend! BYU beat Air Force 61-49,
