The Life of Ryan

Shine Jewelry

2009-09-01T23:05:00.000-07:00

Well this summer I worked at a jewelry store. The job would have been much more stimulating if it wasn't located in the mall. Cache Valley has a mall...i know i've asked the same questions, why? On some days i could sit in the store without anyone walking by. I loved the store and I loved the owners they were great people. But it could get pretty boring. Anyway this is the view i had behind the desk.

Rattle Snakes in Vernal

2009-09-01T23:00:00.000-07:00

I visited vernal this summer to see a bunch of my friends. This time i made it without any trouble. Actually on the way there where i wrecked my truck a deer started walking out on the highway, which made my ride turn into an hour longer adventure. Anyway we went paint balling and during our battles we all heard a rattle snake. Pretty scary stuff if you ask me.

PIG

2009-09-01T22:53:00.000-07:00

Another fun adventure we had this summer was a chance to have a real pig roast. It was for a block party our ward was putting on. To cook the entire pig you have to bury it underground on top of coals. To get the coals hot you have to have an intense fire. So we signed up to watch the fire all night. We were just a bunch of crazy guys staying up all night! Whoa what will I do next??!!

where has ryan been???

2009-09-01T22:35:00.000-07:00

Well Ryan has not been doing very well at putting up post so this will be the first of a few. This summer has been a blast and this is one of the few things i did. Me and my friend and now roommate Nate got an old record cabinet and renovated to fit our needs. Just a fun little project we had. The idea to do it came from last year when our T.V. and all the things that go with it was a disaster. So far its worked out perfectly.

Bear

2008-12-28T14:04:00.000-08:00

This poor bear was kidnapped by terrorist during the holidays. It is super sad to see what these people will do. I was able to rescue him by entering the terrorist's lair. They were asking for billions of dollars for his release.

Unbelievable

2008-12-27T17:54:00.000-08:00

14 dollars a gallon? I don't think so!

RIP Tacoma

2008-12-17T18:58:00.000-08:00

I just hit a patch of black ice and lost control. I am lucky that I left with just a few scratches.

Hitler reacts to BYU loss

2008-12-12T13:27:00.000-08:00

I found this on youtube and it is hilarious. If you know German it kinda ruins it so just read the subtitles if you do.

BYU USU basketball

2008-12-10T18:56:00.001-08:00

It was a really good game, BYU had the upper hand most of the game but our team is really young. The final score was 63-66.

This picture is funny because i found it on Facebook. someone tagged me in it (if you dont know what tagging means its when someone puts a picture on facebook you can put a tag on the picture where a certain person is.) Can you spot me in this picture? I couldn't at first either!

I was more or less right there. haha cool huh?

The things I've done this semester

2008-12-04T02:33:00.000-08:00

This is actually something I did this summer. The week before we jumped from the higher cliff which was about 50 feet up. We were not able to this time cause the water level had dropped.

Even though none of the resorts are open we found a place at Tonys Grove which is high enough up in the mountains to have snow to board on.

From time to time its fun to get some shot guns and riffles and blow pumpkins up.

Actually I'm not too sure what happened that night. . .That's Barbara and Kylee

Here are some of my friends, in the back its Colin who grew up in our ward back east, next to him is Nate my roommate then his girlfriend Lauren. In the front Whitney then Kayla than me! and no I'm not dating any of them. Well maybe Colin but we will see how that works out.

Flowers

2008-07-19T16:19:00.000-07:00

My flower garden is still doing great. Even though the sun is crazy hot and the flowers are out of season now. cool huh?

I'm a Princess

2008-06-16T09:45:00.001-07:00

You Are Mulan!

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Mysterious as the dark side of the mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

Spin Round Round!!

2008-06-14T17:36:00.000-07:00

So I went on a date on Tuesday and Mark, Shawna and Colin came along and we played tag and threw around a football at a park. It was fun and we boys had lots of fun on the tire swing. I bet Mark he couldn't jump the fence after spinning. I guess I was wrong.

Romies

2008-06-06T13:06:00.000-07:00

Really really ridiculously good looking.

Roomates

Dave Alder
-------------

Dave Alder has to be one the brightest kids I know. We had a class together the second semester this school year and the material really came easy to him. Although one of the brightest I normally found him on our couch watching T.V. or playing Dr. Mario. That Dr. Mario drained a lot of our time... He also was a very likable person, I don't think I ever heard someone have a negative thing to say about Dave.

--------------------
Mark Whitworth
--------------------

The spell check informs me that I spelled his last name wrong... well that very well may be true. Mark is a ladies man. Oh yes, you girls are not able to control yourselves just looking at this picture. Even though he has settled down with a girlfriend, who is awesome, there was always someone for Mark. Another thing, Mark is a strong name. I like to compare it to Star Trek when the captain would say "lets set a mark" Oh, and nobody knows more about sports than Mark.

Da da da!
da da da!

-----------------
Brad Grandy
-----------------

There was another picture of Brad I had but I promised him I would never let any one see it... I will let you all think about what it could be. Never in my life have I met someone so dedicated to studying. He could spend the entire day at the library. It wasn't just studying that he was dedicated to it was everything he did. The summer before school started he did summer sales. Even though he is incredibly modest he still told us he did really well.

Homeless Awareness Night

2008-04-27T16:42:00.000-07:00

Well we took 1st prize once again...no one can stop us!

This year we decided to put up a V shaped roof.

It worked out great but we still left the night wanting to do much more. We were able to stand up in it and walk around but we want next year to do more than one room. So I have decided to team up with a friend of mine that always is our competition.

Me and the gang wana thank all of those who helped especially Darrell's appliance! they really do have the greatest service and sales in Logan Utah!

Caspers Ice Cream Bash!

2008-04-21T22:27:00.000-07:00

So Caspers invited my good friends to have a concert on Thursday night. They were fantastic!

Theres Weston on the left working out the pre-show jitters. He must have been crying for at least an hour before this picture. Okay i made that up... on the right we can see the famous Calvin Smooth. you can check out his music video on youtube.com through this LINK. If that doesn't work search on youtube Calvin Smooth Peach Fuzz. Pay close attention to the last verse.

On the left here we see Chris and Weston Jamming away. I really enjoy the song they where playing but i had never heard it with this violin girl. It really added to it and made it sweet. On the left is Colin and Weston, they really are talented!

Darrell's Appliance

2008-04-10T22:25:00.000-07:00

All the way from beautiful downtown Benson the check came! 50 dollars of funding for our cardboard box building house project. We are officially sponsored. Its funny because appliance companies all of the valley are fighting for the sponsorship. We're no NASCAR we can only do so much.

Here I am with the check, I was thinking to myself right then I wanted one of those big novelty checks. Yeah that would have been TIGHT!

Well I have to finish Enchanted, it like the tenth time i have seen it.

Until next time peace out ya'll!!

If You Didn't Get It

2008-04-08T23:26:00.001-07:00

It looked like from the comments that no one understood what the picture was of so check out this link.

After you read it you need to understand I wasn't watching them sleep....thats weird. Or at least not the whole time....

General Conference

2008-04-07T12:23:00.000-07:00

I was paying attention...

Wi wi uh uh!

2008-03-21T19:40:00.001-07:00

Dave (my roommate) and his date on Thursday dyed eggs in honor of easter. You know easter right? The holiday we celebrate the resurrection with eggs, and a bunny. They asked me and Mark to judge who made the best and i chose this one. I thought he looked French so I named him Pierre z egg.

Here he is doing some around the house activities. On the left he is cooking some French fries in the frying pan. And on the right is him relaxing in the love sac watching his favorite movie Les Mesrable.

Now here he is surfing the web. He likes to look up online how to be more rude to Americans when they visit Paris.

So there you have it, the French Egg.

weird......

Dance Party!

2008-03-17T23:16:00.001-07:00

It was a rave dance party, this is what happens on a Saint Patrick's day night when you are not drinking. My favorite is the last picture, me and Mark were posing for a picture but we thought there wouldn't be any flash. We just wanted the light of the glow sticks.

Sun set Hawaii

2008-03-14T12:13:00.001-07:00

As the sun sets our time in Hawaii has come to an end. We must check out of the hotel and steal all the hangers and Marriot's finest soaps. The T.V. wouldn't come off the wall so it stays. Then off to the airport. I'm not sure where to do it but we must find a place to change our money back to American. The time here was amazing and fun, best of all I get to bring some of Hawaii back with me...red lobster skin. Thank you for coming along on our journey, your jealousy really helped us feel like we were doing something neat.

Whales

2008-03-12T16:57:00.000-07:00

Several Whales we saw.

Almost all the pictures below were done with a waterproof camera we rented. Neat huh?

Boat Ride

2008-03-11T18:22:00.001-07:00

We Did It!!

2008-03-10T01:13:00.000-07:00

Its a little hard to see but the cruiser thats farthest to the left is the one that shot down that satellite a few weeks ago.....How super cool is that?? I don't know about the rest of you but i think that is the greatest achievement this year. You don't see China or Russia shooting down their satellites do you? No, no you don't. I digress.

Pearl Harbor

2008-03-10T01:02:00.001-07:00

Aloha

2008-03-08T23:31:00.000-08:00

so i made it finally to Hawaii...if it was any other destination i would have been more upset. The day started out in Logan Utah and it was snowing. I was waiting for it to snow all week to snowboard. At the Salt Lake airport I had to get my ticket through a computer thats in front of the bag check-in. It wouldn't work so I had to go through like 3 different lines, then when that was figured out it took more than 30 minutes to file through the security line. The plane flight to Phoenix was okay but I was told the day before that my baggage would have to be picked up at Phoenix. They were wrong...I waited forever for all the bags to come out and it never did. I asked the help desk and they explained it was sent directly to Honolulu. I had woken up in the morning a little sick, all day long it got worse. I haven't been sick since September, why now? Oh well I'm here and it's wonderful.

More Of Ricky

2008-03-03T15:57:00.001-08:00

So i was looking through my pictures I had on my computer and I came across another picture by Ricky. Its another he took at Yorktown Virginia. He's a pretty talented person.

A Tribute To America

2008-03-01T21:06:00.000-08:00

Dad, Cristin, and Mark were privileged to go to a conference in California. The speaker was the Senior Economist with the National Center for Policy Analysis. He is a man who truly loves his country. When the Statue Of Liberty was rededicated he was invited to give a speech. It is very moving and reminds one how great The United States really is. Check it out its on this like below.

A Tribute To America

In response

2008-02-29T12:09:00.001-08:00

This post is in response to Corynn and Jer wanting to see some snowboarding pictures.

The day started out heading down the mountain...slowly. The powder was not nearly as good as the grass.

The second run I spent stuck on a rock for 45 minutes.

By the end of the day there was not much left to board on.
All things considered it was a great day!

Basketball

2008-02-27T20:19:00.000-08:00

Top picture from left to right Brad, Ryan, and Coach Dave

Bottom Picture from left to right Amy, Coach Mark, and Alex

It was a battle! We had been talking about playing each other for a few weeks. Amy and Alex were on the 2005 Beaver high school state championship team. As for me and Brad we were wrestlers and lacked every ability that basketball required. The game was to 21. It was 21 points that took us almost an hour. It came down to a game winner shot by Brad that was set up by an amazing pick. We won by 2 points. Needless to say I slept well that night.

Bottle Band

2008-02-26T16:27:00.000-08:00

It was a little late and Weston says "Hey i bet we can get a pretty good tune out of them bottles.

So after seeing it i'm sure you're thinking: "I couldn't have spent my last 30 seconds any better way."

Welcome
