Why BYU grads would make good soldiers

General Petraeus recently spoke at BYU and gave a rather clever top ten list, I laughed pretty good at this one....
General Petraeus' Top 10 reasons BYU grads make good soldiers:

10 — They have already been on many a mission.


9 — Army chow is no problem for folks accustomed to eating green Jell-o and shredded carrots.


8 — It's not a problem if they don't know what rank someone is, they just refer to them as Brother or Sister so-and-so.


7 — They never go AWOL. They just call it being less active.


6 — They will seize any objective swiftly if you tell them refreshments will be served.


5 — They know how to make things happen. In fact if you ever need a base built quickly in a barren wasteland, stride out to where you want them to start, plant your walking stick down and say in a loud voice, "This is the place."


4 — They have innovative ideas for handling insurgents — like assigning them home teachers.


3 — They always have a years' supply of provisions on hand.


2 — They are the world's most reliable designated drivers.


1 — They understand how far Iraq has come over the last seven years, and they think that Iraq's old spot in the "Axis of Evil" can now be filled by the University of Utah.

Adult?

I know I have officially been an adult for several years now, but I have never really thought that I was an adult. But alas I think the time has finally come....I received my very first Ensign in the mail this week. I have never been a big reader of the Ensign, so I didn't see the point in buying it, plus one of my roommates always ordered it. I felt that I should get for my house now that I don't have any roommates that have it and maybe I will even learn to enjoy reading it too. No promises though. Life in the new house has been great, I really enjoy living by myself for right now, so as long as I can afford it and save some money I think I'm going to continue to stick it out by myself. This has been a very busy year for me, but it has been a great year as well. A few weeks ago my parents came out for my nephew's baptism, but they stayed with me. I'm not around family too often so it was really nice to be mom and dad's little girl again. I was sad to see them go, but I knew they had to get back to there life.
