then she said it was funny

Allegedly, I have not written for many moons. But I saw it coming. Oh, yes I did.

It's never too late

This weekend I told Andy that there are some merit badges you can earn after you are too old to be a scout. These merit badges include:





-Kite Flying
-Picture Hanging
-Places Going
-Laundry Folding

These are just some of the required ones. There are lots of electives too.
If you earn enough merit badges, you earn your Eagle Emeritus Scout badge.

Welcome March

A new month is here. If it were any other month, we tried to tell our home teacher, it would still be last month. But its not, and melissa hopes you are much warmer than the month you follow around. If not, the summer sends its love

Ash Wednesday

I have been trying to decide what to give up for lent. Fist fighting, poaching, slamming books shut in quiet libraries, putting my feet on the shoulders of whomever is sitting in front of me at church, karate chopping mailboxes, tripping the kids and laughing at them... I don't know. There are a lot of things I don't know if I can stop doing for forty days.

Meanwhile check out this awesome fish. (be sure to watch the video)

welcome to the gun show

My grandfather, Ralph Tracy Clark, is an amazing man. He was born in 1926 in Smithfield, UT and has lived here ever since. He fought in both World War II and the Korean War. I love him very much. I am very grateful for all that he has done for our country and for my family. I look up to him as an example and hero. I hope that someday I can be as good of a person as he is.
I went over to his house this evening and he showed me some of his guns. Some are antique, dating back to the early 1900's. A couple of the guns belonged to his father Carl, my great-
grandfather. He had some very interesting, funny and scary stories to tell as we looked at these old firearms.
I have often wondered what my family would be like if something had happened to grampsie during the war. He told me tonight that he was scared a lot of the time, but that somehow he always knew that he would be alright. I know that he was protected and watched over and blessed because of his faith. He has told me before how hard he prayed during those times and I know that he always kept and keeps the Lord close. I love my grandpa.
