Unselfish Service

Hey everyone,

I flew to New Jersey last night and I will be here until Wednesday. I had a strong desire to see my family.

Love,
Sean

PS: This new Mormon Message about Unselfish Service is a good one!

Idaho Adventures

This past weekend I went up to Idaho. This is how my cousin Isaac and I entertained ourselves on a 30 minute trip up to Idaho Falls. It's pretty epic.

I love my family and that we can just do fun and stupid stuff like this all the time.

Hope you enjoyed.

Love,

Sean

Discovering Humility

Hey everyone!

I am currently up in Blackfoot, Idaho (just south of Idaho Falls) right now visiting cousins and extended family.  (Same cousins I went to Seattle with).  Well, I just got home from their church ward here, and the speaker spoke on humility.

He said something I really liked.  I don't know if he came up with it himself or if it was a quote by someone else, but here it is:

"We don't discover humility by thinking less of ourselves.  We discover humility by thinking less ABOUT ourselves."

Thoughts?

Oh...And I got my hairs cut.  Finally.

Love,
Sean

Going Through Life

"Looking at what has been taken from us is a bad way to go through life.  Looking for what we can give to others is far better."

This is a quote from a someone I heard on TV the other day.  I thought it was pretty good.

Just a thought...

Love,
Sean

A Mission Call

My friend Rory got his mission call this past Wednesday.  He will be serving in LONDON, ENGLAND!  I am so excited for him.  He will be an incredible representative for the Lord in Lond.  I love my modern brother, and I'm thankful for the example he is to me.

Love,

IKEA, Justin Bieber, And Power Tools

So, I still need to update about last weekend (I know...I'm only 7 days late).  At some point in my life, I hope to have caught up a little bit.

Last Friday was pretty adventurous.  Justine and I went out to IKEA to shop for furniture (we share an office at work).  Well, we bought a really long table, two office chairs, two garbage buckets, two power cords, and some other items of office-ness.  We even ate dinner at IKEA.  The bottom of my Pear Sparkling Cider said "Alkoholfri" (Alcohol Free).  HAHAHA!  You're not laughing... ... ... Well, I thought it was funny.

Um...as we were wheeling out our purchase, the table hit some register sign, and almost knocked it down.  That was great.

Then...As we were trying to load stuff into my car, it wouldn't all fit.  We already had to put down the back seats and take off the passenger headrest so the table would fit.  But, there was NO way to fit one of the office chairs.  So, what did we do?  We opened the box in the parking lot and fit pieces of chair anywhere we could.  It was too funny.

We drove to a theater nearby to see the highly anticipated and talked about (maybe we hear so much talk about it because we are around high schoolers all day) Justin Bieber movie, "Never Say Never."  Honestly, SUCH a great movie!  It made me respect him as an artist SO much more.  Spoiler alert:

My 3 Favorite Parts:
-The slow motion and famous Justin Bieber Hair Toss scene to Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair".  Too funny.
-Justin approaching a girl playing the violin on a street corner he used to play on, and giving her inspirational words of advice.  Down to Earth.
-Justin's Mom watching Justin perform at Madison Square Garden and crying.  I'm kind of cheesy, but I love watching a proud parent talk about and watch their child.  It's just an unexplainable good feeling I get.  I guess, being able to see and determine how much love a parent has for their child just by observing a parent's actions just makes me happy.  It reminds me of how much my parents love and are proud of me.
 ...Go see this movie.

On Saturday evening, we put together our furniture.  That was yet another adventure.  I actually feel very accomplished that I was able to put together office chairs and a table.  Power tools are fun.

Oh, and we found a huge sign that said "Muffin Express."  Justine made me take a picture with it.  My family will think this is funny...

Love,

Just Wanted To Say...
