Beard Growing.

This is the before picture.
Ok so When Jaren left to go on his mission I made a deal with him. If he would obey the haircut rule on hims mission and keep it short, he has never had short hair he doesn't like it, I would grow mine out for him for the two years he is gone. so one month has gone by and so far it hasn't grown too much.
This is the after picture.
This is one month into the deal.

Ok so maybe a little growth but nothing huge. Well my Xbox is supposed to have HDMI capabilities, true HD, but the other day when I bought all the cords and things that go to it, I hooked it all up and nothing. So I took it back to Best Buy and they gave me Microsoft's number so I called them. I send in the Xbox and they looked at it and then today I got an email that says they are finished and sending it back to me. It should be here by Wednesday. Then I can have True HD capabilities. HAHAHA
Well my yard is coming along. I let all the weeds grow out for about two months they got about 2 feet tall then last week I butchered them all down to about an inch. I then sprayed them with weed killer and then I only have a few more things to do before I can reseed and plant my flowers and shrubs. One good thing about working in a plant shop is that I can watch certain plants and see if they are going to be a good choice or if they are weaklings. My garden got all planted I did it last Thursday. We have 11 different tomatoes, 10 peppers, 4 potatoes, 5 squash, 2 pumpkins, 4 different kinds of corn, there are quite a bit of veggies and what not in there. We even have two Artichokes. I don't think that they will grow to be very big but I might have to dig them up and bring them inside during the winter so that they can ripen, but they are supposed to do best in warm weather so hopefully our WARM weather will help them grow.
Tonight I saw one of the guys that I went to Iraq with. It was really weird I couldn't really decide if I was scared or nervous or what but I guess that it wasn't too bad because he wasn't really with me on any of the missions that we went on. He was the company clerk. He is filing his claim for the V.A. and he said that he has ringing in his ears from the generators. Honestly I can't remember the generators being that close and the only thing that I can think of were the A.C. units and they weren't too terribly loud. I have heard a few of the soldiers complaining of that ringing in the ears though so I guess it's not a completely bogus charge. I sure don't have a prolonged affect from it though, maybe a tiny one every once in a while but nothing horrible.
Saturday night Lauren and I rode our bikes out to our parents house from our house. We went down 7800 south and it wasn't even ten miles and it took us around 40 minutes, it was pretty fun Lauren got nervous about me riding in the middle of the road but if there isn't a bike lane then the road becomes my lane. I guess drivers will have to learn that the hard way, or hit me and find out that they are in the wrong. Either way they will find out. Summer keeps plodding along. The planting season is almost over for gardens and things any longer and you'll have to be planting some short maturing plants like beets and peas, or something like that. I want to move somewhere where tomatoes are perennials. That would cool.
Well the priests have decided to go to the Tetons in August instead of Lake Powell, too many problems with the one. They want to do a bit of biking and hiking and canoeing. There is a bike loop that goes through Yellowstone so that should be fun. Hopefully I don't kill any of the boys, or myself. It should be loads of fun. They sounds like they are excited. Hopefully they keep the fire.
