December 29, 1996 - 12 years old and Aaronic Preisthood
12-29-’96 There are 3 main orders of
business I have to tell you. #1. I turned 12 years old on the 24th
of December. I got my Gospel in Action award today along with Mike Anderson. I
graduated from primary and got ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood. The
Priesthood is the most important. With it comes the responsibilities of writing
in you, personally reading the scriptures, and more. #2. Is Christmas! I got 1.
Bulldog stuff 2. A Lighting ball 3. Puzzles 4. Other trinkets. Michael got a
N64 (the latest video game system) and a game called Pilotwings 64. With Christmas
came a trip to Disneyworld and #3. Relatives, Brooke and her husband Steve (who
proved to be a nice guy) came. So did Ryan from college, Grandmas, and a friend
of Carolyn’s from Kearney. Well I have to go. Goodnight.

August 14, 1996-11 years old
8-14-’96 Today was a normal day.
Almost. I read an article today. It was about life on Mars. Wouldn’t it be
weird if they proved that life existed or did not exist on Mars? Oh well, I
have to sleep. Goodnight.

can’t think of anything I did that was new. I can’t think that you will let me
waste paper, so, BRAINSTORM. I thought of two things new. 1.Dad is reading a
book to us (a chapter a day). 2.I played dodgeball on the trampoline. Goodnight
August 8, 1996 -11 years old
8-8-’96 Jacob and my parents came home
today. Jacob came home from vacation, and my parents came from visiting Brooke.
Speaking of Brooke, she is getting married in October. I’m going to school this
month. From what I’ve heard, school will be terrible. Oh well, I’ll have to
adapt and change, again. You know, this is getting very annoying. I’m getting
pulled around all over the U.S.A.! In fact, in October, I’m going to Utah and
California for Brooke’s marriage and wedding reception! Also, Thomas and John
owe me a letter. I think the mailman steals the letters. Oh well, I have to go.
Goodnight.

8:30p.m.-9:30p.m. at night. Oh, I forgot to tell you, Brooke is getting

August 5, 1996- 11 years old (move to Wisconsin)
8-5-’96 I know, I know, I haven’t
written in you for a long time. I’m on summer vacation. Next year I will be in
6th grade! Time sure does fly! I stopped writing that Daniel’s log
stuff because it takes up space. Are you ready for a shocker? I’m in Wisconsin!
I hated moving and I still hate it here. We have a pool here. I guess the only
reasons I don’t like it here is John isn’t here. Brett moved to Omaha, N.E.,
Thomas went to St. Louis, and John is the only one left in Kearney. I met some
kids here; there names are Jacob, Tom, Mike, Marcus, Ken, and Paul. I can’t get
over Kearney. I was born there. I hate moving. I’m writing John, Brett,
and Thomas to keep in touch. Madeline is really spelled Madelyn. Speaking of
Madelyn, the dog got a harness and a pooper-scooper. Tom (the one from
Wisconsin) came over and swam today. Well, I have to go. ‘Bye. Oh, wait! I
almost forgot to tell you some stuff. My Mom and Dad aren’t home so I have to
take care of the dog and the bird. I’m also supposed to read Helaman 5 of
the Book of Mormon Oh well, I have to go to sleep. Goodnight.

February 18, 1996 - 11 years old
2-18’96 Sorry I couldn’t write in you
for a couple of months. The reason I needed today is my parents are thinking of
moveing to Wisconsin. I really don’t want to move because I would leave John.
See my problem? Oh well, I’ll figure it out. I’m 11 years old now. [1]That’s
easier to read isn’t it? Maybe I should write like this more often. You may have
noticed on the date that it is 1996. Time is moveing to fast. It’s Sunday Ryan
became my teacher. Well I gotta go to church. Goodbye.

At this point in my journal I changed my handwriting from a sloppy cursive to a
slightly less sloppy print.

Monday. Monday is the first day of the school week. I watched “Gargolyes” on
T.V. Want to hear a story? O.K. then. Once upon a time I woke up in the middle
of the night. I saw something on the bed and thought it was my little brouther.
I felt a scratch and grabbed what I thought was my little brothers hand, but it
was a paw! I looked closer and figured out it was the family dog Madeline. Well
it’s time for bed. Good-night!
November 5, 1995 - 10 years old
Daniel’s Log Stardate 11-5-’95 Sorry I
haven’t written in you for a very long time. Carolyn got the bulldog and
it’s name is Madeline. I’m in the 5th grade now and studying
invertebrates in science. Madeline got nudered so she can’t have pup’s. I made
up an idea for a book. I’t’s about these monsters called Alpockie. When they
scrach you you’ll turn into one of them. How they came to be is an ancient Zeco
(that’s a wizard) put a taboo (that’s a kind of curse) on an island village
that turned them into alpockies. Soon the whole island was full of alpockies.
When scientist discover the island thousands of years later the alpockies get
on a ship that brings them to America. A boy finds out three ways to get rid of
them 1. To get viniger into there blood 2. Dogs 3. Drowning them. The story
goes on and they end up getting rid of them. By the way, Halloween was fun. I
was road kill. I got a new Sunday school teacher named Brother Wait. Today was
church and it was fun. Well I have to go. See ya tommorrow! Oh wait I play an
isternent called the French Horn that reminds me I got to go practice. ‘Bye!
