Well it's coming today, I can just feel it! If it doesn't, it doesn't, but it's going to. Because "I can feel it in the air tonight, and i've been waiting for this moment for all my life"! I think i've listened to that song at least 150 times over the past week, because it fits my mood so well right now and waiting for my mission call. I really am so excited to see where the Lord wants me to go (and when).. I have been praying every night just for comfort in knowing that wherever I am sent, I am supposed to go there for a reason! So if I get the call today, I think i'm going to open it up around 8:30 my time so Mckay and Jake can be involved, so be ready then!!
So I was talking with Sara last night for forever just about everything. We started talking about the debates and how bugged we are about how that is going, but though Mitt Romney stood strong last night. Anyways, We were going over songs we like and our own blogs and saying how much we loved each one. Than out of nowhere I kind of got distracted and was partially listening to Sara and said something that didn't make sense at all (Sara you're going to have to remind me what I said) and than Sara just FLIPPED OUT!! She just started laughing SO HARD, and I was kinda startled at first because I didn't know why she was laughing so hard, than I started getting to the point where I was laughing "only" because Sara was laughing so hard, and it was so funny. The next ten minutes on the phone were straight laughter. Sara almost died on the phone! You know, I think we all need a REALLY good laugh every once in a while. I mean, at one point we had no clue what we were laughing at..We would pause for like two seconds, than one of us would bust up laughing and it would all start again. I think we all know and have had that feeling, especially being in the Probert family, we do that quite often. So Yeah, I just wanted to say how fun it was just to laugh, and how it just makes you feel good, and helps you get out stress in a way that is joyful!
If you have read Kaylies blog, you've probably read a little about the sledding adventure, and boy was she right about it being really tough. Wayne, Dustin, Bethanie, Kaylie and I all climbed up Petersons butte on Monday! It was an adventure I will never forget! I brought cleets to get some traction, and I think that helped out a lot, but than there goes Wayne and Kaylie in basketball shoes, which barely had any traction, so they were slipping everywhere, I would look down at Wayne and I felt like we were climbing mt. Everest at times! We definately took a lot of stops on the way up there for breathers, but once we got up there it was incredible. I have been there before when Thomas, Wayne and I climbed it at 4:30 in the morning to watch the sunrise over the summer, and that was incredible. This time was a lot different because there was fog and clouds everywhere, so it was tough to see Lebanon and Highway 34, but it was still quite a view. We all decided to start building a snowman, and we built it like 8 or 9 feet tall so all of Lebanon could see it, and used HUGE branch sticks for the arms, and than deer dumplings (ha) for the smile and the eyes! So after we built that enormous snowman, we were ready for the FUN part of sledding down the entire way. We ended up going down for a while than crashing and skidding across rocks, which actually hurt pretty bad. There was one part of the "mountain" that was super steep for a long time, so we (Wayne,Dustin and I) decided to take it on in our three passenger sled, and i'll tell you what, I think we got up to like 30 mph, not exaggerating at all, just ask Kaylie. Than we kept going for a long time, and I just felt like I was going to get hurt somehow, but than we hit this little bump and all three of us just flew out, and slid on the ground for about 40 to 50 feet! I don't know how nobody got hurt, but nobody did, and we all just started laughing right after. Anyways, we had a couple more sledding adventures going down but that was the funnest one. Although it was just Petersons Butte and might have only been like a 2000 foot climb, it was an adventure that I will always look back to with my sister and friends as a once in a lifetime experience.
Dad decided to save a bunch of money on our phones, so he took out texting, picture messaging, and internet service, and said we were going to drop two phones, but as he was talking to the Lady about it, she said that we could keep the other two lines for free. Obviously sprint doesn't want us to drop any lines. Anyways, this is mostly for the people that text in the family, but the Lebanon Proberts are out on texting for now, and for me i'm for sure done until after the mission.
K well, I hope this post was worth the wait (because I know some of you were wanting one really bad). I'm going to try and keep it updated a little more, but doesn't everyone say that, and how many actually do? I'll try to give more comments on other peoples blog and share my thoughts!
My last words for the day which Sara will love....Thanks Florida! Thanks for NOTHING!!

Life...
Well....Job searchin for me is still not going so well. I have been called by selectemp quite a few times, and actually lost an amazing job that paid $13.55 an hour, but you know what, it happens. Anyways, I've taken a few jobs from selectemp that are only week long jobs, and I am going to be working part time with Jerry Workman at Weyerhouse. Right now, i've just been working a little with our neighbor Gary Jones, but he just doesn't have as much work for me as I want or as I need to do. He is really a great guy, and he is trying to help me get a job by talking with some people he works with. So that's my job situation right now!
Mission!!! Well it's been officially a week since I turned my papers in! I talked with the bishop today and he said that on the computer it said that i'm ready to receive my call, which means that they have went through all my papers and now it's all up to the apostles. I've been praying everynight for me to feel comfort and know that wherever I go, it is really inspired from God, and that he knows where i'm supposed to go! I'm at the end of Alma right now in the Book of Mormon, and I never realized how many wars there were, and how bad the Lamanites were. On the other hand, there are SO MANY miracles and blessings that happen in the Book of Mormon. One of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon is Ammon and the Sons of Mosiah... INCREDIBLE! I just wish I had that faith, and that much truth in me! Ammon doesnt do ANYTHING on his own, everything is by the spirit, and he is directed in everything he does. This comes because of his enormous amount of faith and love for God and his people. I hope I can be a 100th of Ammon, and I will be a GREAT missionary. Anyways, i'm really excited to get my call, and everyone keeps asking where I want to go, but seriously it doesn't matter AT ALL to me, I just want to get out there and serve!
Basketball....So Me and Wayne are the coaches for the church basketball team and we are LOVING IT! We are going all out, even though we only have 4 games and one was taken off the schedule, so technically 3. But yeah, our first game, we showed up in our white shirts and matching ties, with a cup of hot chocolate and a clipboard! This is business, we have to win games, and we have to get our kids ready so they can go out there and dominate. We had a team meeting, and we all decided on the team name "Snow Peak Avalanche". Wayne and I have had numerous coaches meetings and have spent countless number of hours on preparing our team. Since we got our team name down, me and Wayne have been going through a bunch of designs for our t-shirts. We finally narrowed it down to two, and we voted as a team which one they wanted. So now were onto the making of the t-shirts. Our first game went REALLY WELL....we won 95-24 and basically dominated the other team...here is a write up that I did for the game and posted on the church wall....

Game Recap:
The Avalanche from the Snow Peak Ward seemed to have the dominating force the entire game. Tysen Webber had a standout game with 33 points and was named Most Valuable Player. He was helped out with a great effort from Steven Evans, who had a surprising 27 points. The Avalanche won the game 95 to 24, and the Riverview Ward had to go extra deep into their roster, looking to their Head Coach Brother Gabell for help. Brother Gabell brought some hope for the Riverview ward, but it just wasn’t enough for the all powerful Avalanche!
Game MVP: Tysen Webber
Game Surpriser: Steven Evans
Best defensive player: Steven Evans
Record: 1-0
Head Coach Wayne Stearns and assistant Coach Seth Probert are very excited for this team to keep rising to the top. We not only see this team as a championship team this year, but we will continue growing in the years to come to create a dynasty.
Scouting Report:
Brownsville: 7 footer is really good down low, he can jump, and leads the team. Team plays very well together, which may be influenced by the Head Coach.
Jefferson: Point Guard likes to drive to the whole. Red Head is tall and can move well, but nothing Tysen Webber can’t handle.
....Everyone loved this, and we're planning on doing this every game. We had practice tonight, and I made them run quite a bit because they kept missing free throws, and then I played along with them. After practice I actually played some more with Wayne Brother Corbett and one of his friends. So It was me and Wayne vs. those two! I kinda get a little mad at myself when I play basketball for fun anywhere because I seriously tear it up, i'm not going to lie. Like I was driving to the basket with ease, I guess I wasn't shooting that well tonight but I got like every rebound and was flyin everytime I jumped. I love when my knees are feeling good because then I can ACTUALLY play. I really was just drop step dunkin it like no other, and doing reverse dunks like I was doing it at home on the 8 foot rim! Anyways, I just wish I coulda used more of what I had in High School, but yeah i'm grateful that I actually got to play basketball and that I can still walk with my knees!
So, me and Wayne went dancing at Walmart the other day dressed up in crazy outfits...it was SO FUNNY. About 10 people were just watching us and another 5 to 10 were sitting in there car watching us dance. We danced for about 45 minutes and recorded some of it, which I am hoping to get online soon. This was about a week ago, than last night we did the same thing, but this time we did it in front of roths with different uniforms, and added another person! A bum actually came up and started dancing with us, and a cop came by, and I asked if this was illegal, and he said no I just wanted to see what you're doing. SO, I have definately been having some good times with Wayne lately!
K....well I just have to say that I love my family! I know that it's basically my family that reads this, but like Nate said, anybody can get on, so if you're reading this, I love you too! I love my nieces...there SO amazing and so beautiful! I love how Addy calls me at 7 in the morning and leaves a message saying "WAKE UP" 20 times! I love that ALL my nieces and nephews are going to call me uncle SET! I love that Sara is a professional photographer already. I just showed Wayne your blog and he saw the picture of Addy at the beach and he thought it was professional and he said you could sell that! I love that me and Mckay are so much alike, and how he really helped me grow in SO many ways, and was the PERFECT oldest brother for me! I love Backyard football, where it would always end with me crying or Nate arguing! I love how AMAZING my little sister really is. She probably doesn't think so, but she is the example for me, and she will always be! I love how supportive my family is with Everything, although I think if I had to stop playing football for BYU they might have a hard time with that. I love how great my parents are, and how I can talk to my dad about anything, and he will give you the smartest and wises decision, it's almost like the spirit talking! I love all the experiences I have/had in life, winning "ONE" game in two years of Varsity football which really helped me be humble, and I learned a lot of lessons than that I never would've learned anywhere else. I love that even though people might not have though this, but that I was always talked down to from my peers in football and all my other sports. Everyone just really didn't like me, or just liked makin fun of me all the time, but that was another blessing which most people wouldn't think so, because I was able to push through the hard times and look to my Savior for guidance in those REALLY rough times. I came to a point where I was fine with not playing football anymore because I felt that it woulda been better not to play, than to play and have all those bad influences on the team! I love how my senior year couldn't have been better. I was loyal to my school and to Lebanon, and at times I felt that it was a bad decision and I wanted to leave, but I stuck it through the hard times, and it ALL paid off my senior year. I love that you can really be happy in EVERY SINGE situation as long as you are always positive and know that everything is going to be alright, it might seem really hard sometimes, and almost unbareable, but if we make it through, oh the blessings we will receive! I love the 3 amigos (Thomas, Wayne and I) and how I was blessed to have such great friends and examples growing up! I love that no matter what happens to my sister Sara, she will always be happy and look to it as a blessing! I love how much my sister Jamie reminds me of my mom(she always hates me for sayin this), sometimes I think mom is talking to me when I talk to her! I LOVE NATE PROBERT, he is an inspiration for everyone, and he is one of the kindest person I know! I love 360 pounds! I love whoever is still reading this, because they either love me back because their actually taking the time to read, or their just bored and want something to read! I love my momma, for ALWAYS caring for me, and calling every second to check up on me, even though I still remember waiting for 10 hours after a 4th grade football practice! GOOD MEMORIES! I love good music, especially Enya and the Mormon Tabernacle choir! I love that i'm still writing, but I think it's about time to stop! So, whoever read this all the way through, thank you, because i'm sure it wasn't to fun! Life is great, and the church is true!

Blogging.
Well, as I keep reading through everyones blog, I feel like this is the new way to communicate, but that i'm left out! I love everyones blog and I love that you guys update them everyday! I must say Saras blog is the dominant one thus far, but now that sethprob81 has joined, I think there might be a good challenge.
Who even started the blogging? I'm guessing it was Sara, but i'm not sure on that one. Well whoever it was, it's now the new family thing. I don't think Sara has been on the myfamily site in over 4 months, so obviously she's trying to tell us something.
Papers went in this last wednesday, and now it's the countdown to my call. It's really amazing how inspired this work really is, and how it really doesn't matter AT ALL where I go, I just want to get out in the field and serve the Lord. I've had some pretty good talks with Dad and Mom about the church and life in general. I definately didn't realize how amazing our parents really are and now everytime I read "I Nephi, Having been born of GOODLY parents" I sub myself in for Nephi, because I truly have been born of goodly parents and taught true principles that will bring forth happiness. I love you all, and hope that I can catch up with the new craze of blogging!!
