I HAD THE MOST AMAZING SUMMER OF MY LIFE!  It was spent rockin Provo, and it was definitely rockin.  I worked during the day, partied like a rockstar at night, and on the weekend took backpacking/hiking trips.  i got to live the college life without having to worry about homework...the best! It seemed like every night there was something happening.  Probably because there was! movies...dates...parties...I thoroughly enjoyed myself.One of the highlights was definitely hiking timp.  It took 13 1/2 hours and we started at 3:30 am, but it was amazing! I was super sore by the end, but I can now cross that off my bucket list.   And I'm in awesome shape now! I hiked Y mount last weekend and almost ran up it..it was a piece of cake!  I decided to stay because I wanted to improve physically by working with my personal trainer, and I have made much improvement.  For instance, I am now able to open my hand and grab things! I am also able to walk much better.  My mom was VERY against me staying, but like I said: it was super worth it.  If my kids and wife () and current family) are reading this, I want you to know that I did it for you.  I did have an awesome time, but I did it to improve myself for you.  Here is a rap I wrote last week that explains how my summer has been.  It's to the tune of "Party like a rock star":
