I bought a Violin

I bought a violin a few weeks ago online and it is pretty pimp. I am working on writing my first violin and guitar duet song. My song has lots of potential to be pretty awesome. I need to practice to become reacquainted with my violin since it has been since 2002 since I have played a violin.

Sincerely, Rees

The Rocket Summer live at Utah state

I just saw the rocket summer live at utah state and they were awesome! The lead singer was playing guitar while crowd surfing. They sounded just like the goo goo dolls, and something corporate. I was way impressed with the concert.

back to school

Well I am back in Logan for another year. I just presented my internship to a board of committee members. My internship is worth 6 credits so it would be nice if I got a good grade. I am still teaching first aid this semester while taking a full load of credits as well (9 credits I think). I have an extremely busy schedule this semester. So I Wont be blogging very much so enjoy this blog.

St. George Utah

Well I finished my st. george internship. Now I have to write a paper about the whole experience for school and put together a binder about the internship. Then I am heading back to Idaho Falls for a few weeks then back to school at USU in Logan. I have enjoyed living in St. George and I will miss the warm weather. I could see myself returning to St. George and working and or retiring there. St. George is in the desert but it has its own special kind of beauty and unique scenery. Also I am getting sick of the long winters in Idaho and northern Utah. I would prefer dealing with two months of extreme heat in St. George over 7 months of bitter cold winter. Well I am headed back to school soon and I have two more semesters left of my masters program. Then I will be applying for jobs and considering getting a PHD.

Vegas baby

Some friends in my ward and I went to Vegas for the day. We walked up and down the "strip"and saw as many sights as we could. We ate dinner at the hard rock cafe and their food and service was mediocre at best. We walked through the Bellagio, MGM, Caesars palace, the M&M store which had four levels, planet hollywood, hardrock cafe, mini Paris, mini New York and saw many other sights. Since we were only there for a day we walked fast and took pics on the run. It was my first time to Vegas so I tried to see as many sights as possible.
At one part of the trip we were walking past these people that were handing out dirty cards. When suddenly my friend Cody busted out a mormon pass along card and handed it to one of the kids who was trying to hand him a card. The kid took the card and said thanks and went back to work. I was laughing because my friend Cody is always trying to be a missionary even to people who are shady.
Las Vegas was cool to see but I dont have much of a desire to go back. I think it is cool to see once. Although I wouldn't mind returning to go swimming at Mandalee bay or ride a roller coaster or go see a concert. All in all I am glad I made the trip. I can't think of any one place in particular to recommend but I did like the bellagio water fountain show. I got a video recording but I am having difficulty uploading it to my blog.
peace sincerely, Rees
