i need to stop complaining

well I'm going to try and not complain for one entire blog entry lets see how this goes. Well i just want to say I'm grateful for my dad, i caused him a lot of grief growing up and I'm glad he was patient with me and didn't give me the boot. I've just been thinking about my ancestors this last couple weeks and its interesting to see that really all the males i know in my family are kinda just dirt balls, but the few people that i really have grown to look up to is my dad, he had it rough growing up I'm proud that he raised em in a different manner than he was. and my great grandpa Swapp on my mom's side, he may have been an old grumpy dude but he really was the only thing that i really had that was even close to a grandfather. there are so many thins that i had wished i could change in my past but now that i look back i would change nothing, i may have done things i shouldn't have, but i had to learn the hard way i guess to shape me into who i am today. another thing I'm grateful for is my mission, i miss it a lot, i think about it all the time. it truly was one of the greatest experiences in my life.
