I made it... never thought I'd even really apply... a combination of not wanting to live in Utah, preferring a smaller school, wanting to live with Myca and Jared, and hating the thought that I might be rejected. I don't know which would be worse for me... meeting my wife at BYU and having the same story as everyone I've met on my mission or... not even being able to get in. Pride is a terrible thing for us Earl boys.
But, economically and spiritually, so far BYU is gonna be the best option for me. I'm kinda hoping the Lord tells me not to go BYU though; it'd be great to not only get in to BYU but reject it because I can.
Having said all that, I'm sure gonna I'm end up going and immensely enjoying my time and blah blah blah.

35 days left on this mission people. Then I have some serious choices to make. I think I prefer when I only have one really good option to decide upon. All you married people with jobs and kids and stuff... congratulations on being awesome and making choices. Those of you who are successful... lets discuss with me about passing that on my way. Arg. I wish I were a little kid still... or I hope i find a wife that owns me.

35 days and counting? It's ok sister earl we love you and are excited you will be with us shortly! Your wife is easy you will know who you will marry when you meet her and there is NO rush! Baby steps, Baby steps
Hey Sister Earl,
I regret not writing you, but the lack of Exotic-ness in your mission was really the deciding factor. I repeat what I always say: "if you leave on a mission when you are commanded to leave, and are hard working and obedient through the entire mission you will know when it is time to come home." The mantle or stewardship will be lifted, sort of speak. With that in mind, your readiness to come home tells me that you have been hard working and obedient--not altogether intelligent or smart about things or even smooth for that matter (i.e. bum shoulder); but obedient and hard working nevertheless and despite the above-mentioned character flaws. Easily put because of the above the Lord will bless you--BYU is that first blessing. You now have to dedicate yourself to 2 goals 1) education, and, 2) Marriage. You cannot dedicate yourself more to one or the other or there will be a paradigm shift--just kidding I just wanted to always say that--really though your life will swing out of balance and you will head in a less than desirable direction. I am very proud of you and your decisions thus far. You accept and enroll at BYU--easy decision--financially, spiritually, and intellectually speaking. Ryan

what up cuz? can't wait til you're home. since when do missionaries get blogs? the internet had just come out on my mission. I remember I was at the library and my companion and I were at a computer trying to search for something. it was too confusing and I was like "yeah, this internet thing will never catch on."
Corbin...yeah...BYU good for you. I wish I was still a little kid too...I don't think that ever goes away. Man...why was I always in such a hurry to grow up??
