Quick update on life:
Wow, it's been awhile since I blogged last. Life has been pretty crazy since I arrived home from my mission in March.
My older brother Jesse got married the weekend I got home.

"Michael! You're home. We've missed you. Wow, gone for two years. Ok, now pull up your sleeves, because we have a wedding to put on."
That's what it felt like, but I don't know how else I could have felt. We did, in fact, have a wedding to put on.
It was like a dream, coming home.
I remember just feeling so numb for about three days, and then during a wedding luncheon at the BYU Skyroom, just escaping to the stairwell and collapsing in a heap and crying because it finally hit me that I was not a missionary anymore.
I've had many similar experiences since.
It's true what they say: "It's harder to come home from a mission than it is to leave."
"Oh, shut up, how could it be any harder than this?" I would think, as I began my two years.
But it is true.
I found a job quickly after arriving home, making automatic pool covers. It's a company called Coverstar, and we manufacture and sell to distributors around the world. I work full time, and I enjoy it. In the afternoons, I often coach gymnastics at All American. I'm just subbing right now, and coaching private lessons. Life is really just work right now.
I need to date more. Let me know if you have any referrals.
This fall, I will be attending BYU. I don't know what I want to study yet. Generals, for now.

I'm trying a new program called prezi. I'm not sure how I'm going to like it, so I'm presenting this blog in a traditional way, and with a prezi. Take your pick.
