Guess who's birthday it was last month! MINE! I really liked it because it was simple and good. My cake was made within 30-40 minutes and it was titled "better then sex cake". After the laughing the joke became awkward and was then relabeled as the "better then cake". I got $60, the best Hershey's chocolate bar ever tasted and a pixel animation from AspenWynd, a lot of funny B-day cards, and pizza! Despite what you might read below this paragraph, I LOVE my family.

One month until I leave for my mission! And I still have so much to do! I was going to get shot today. Sadly/thankfully I am going to miss that because of the surprise snow today. I was going to get shot several times in the arm at the doctors for my immunizations. I am watching mission videos to get a taste to what the mission life would be like (so fare so good). And I am taking a mission prep class early Sunday morning. I feel super confident in my ability to be a missionary that I am not worried at all. For me these two years are going to pass by like butter. Of course it will take a month to settle into the mission life and to get use to Singapore but after that I predict smooth sailing. Lodes of movies and video games will be coming out when I am gone. But when I come back it will feel like everyone of those things came out on the same day and most of them will be out for so long that they will be sold cheaper then at launch. I have my life planed out after I come home I am giddy to start my mission as I wright this journal (I will share my post mission life plan for those who want to hear it).

POKEMON! I went to a Pokemon TCG tourney two weeks ago and I did better then expected. Yes, I did only win 2 out of 5 games, but my third game was going to be a definite win for me if I didn't accidentally put my hand of cards back on top of my deck because I thought I made a two hit KO. My opponent was able to draw 3 cards from his prizes. If he was allowed to draw 2 then I would have been safe. If I didn't accidentally break the rules I would have won that game no problem and would have had a better chance to get a 3 out of 5 or even a 4 out of 5. At least I received 2 Pokemon TCG packs that I can sell for some money. There are 2 more tourneys that I will be going to. Both of them are this week and I will post a journal on how they went.

My brother Justin and I had a super fun time playing the Project M mod for Super Smash Brothers Brawl last week. It was the longest we have ever consistently played a Super Smash Bros Game. And we are excited for the 3.0 mod to come out on the 9th. We were laughing and having the grandest time beating each other up. The Pokemon characters where the most interesting because they had the most changes after getting rid of the Pokemon trainer.

P.S. What are you Thankful for?
