He's here! So my little baby nephew Sterling Clyde Bishop was born on Nov. 3 so Bryce, my mom, and I all got to go down to Tucson and see him for Veteran's Day. As you can see by this picture, he has already become pro at knowing how to chill. He slept most of the time we were there aside from the occasional opening of one eye to look at us whenever we would start talking about him. It was good fun and we had a great time hangin' with Ben and Macey and Kiley too. Kiley is an awesome little girl and loved to come over to her new brother and point at him saying, "Baby!". We got to go hiking with a couple of families in Ben and Macey's ward that morning and had a lot of fun chasing Kiley all up and down the trails. To sum it all up, this was the best way I could have spent my day off from school.
Just because I haven't said anything for so long, I'll just list a few more things about what's been up with me over the last few months. I'll keep it all to a minimum though. I went to Homecoming with Lyndsie Lenkersdorfer (awesome last name huh?) and had a great time! I also got to vote for the first time and that was pretty rad! It made me feel a little too old though. I finished applying for BYU which again made me feel ancient. As far as sports goes, I ran a 16:57 at the city X-country race which made me happy cuz I had been wanting to break 17 all season. Then, I re-tore my Achilles tendons which was no fun. So i didn't run in regions or the week leading up to state. As you can probably assume I didn't do so hot, but I'm just glad I came away from it all still being able to run so i'm trying not to beat myself up about the lame way of ending my season. Besides, I have a loving sister in whom I may share my overwhelming woes of running disappointments and failures because she too had similar traumatic circumstances that affected her running career. :D Sometime soon I'm gonna give her a call and cry on her shoulder via the telephone wires separating us, but until then I guess i'll just have to hold it in. Um...I also got asked to winter formal by Ariell Bratton and that's gonna be a lot of fun. I have decided that mission prep is possibly one of the coolest things I am doing right now and I get a greater desire to serve my mission right now every time I go, even though I learn even more each time how much I have left to prepare. Anyway, enough of talking. I think that's it for right now...or the next couple months for that matter. Later!
P.S. Apparently these shoes used to be put on my feet and now they've been passed on to the next generation of Bishop boys. Also, I want to mention that Sterling also has red hair, but it's not as flaming red as his big sister's and so we don't know if it'll stay or not. :D
