Our First Entry



After just under a decade here in Provo I have finished classes at BYU. Now that I have more free time, Carrie and I decided that it would be fun to start a family blog so that we could inform the adoring public about the monumental and prosaic happenings of our lives. It should be an entertaining change of pace from the Paris news blitz you can follow on every news station. Some day soon pictures will be added to the blog thanks to my thoughtful mother-in-law. I would add them now, but I am not sure how much time we have left here at the Harold B. Lee Library in the NO SHHH! ZONE.

Last night we thought of both of our families as we had sandwiches and soup at Zupa's. We had to eat light in order to stay in peak physical condition for the night's athletic competition- miniature golf. After a little trash talking Carrie was soundly defeated. Humbled, she would not be denied the glory of multiple holes-in-one to finish off our round of 18. After such physical exertion we decided to have some "ice cream of the future"- Dip'n Dots, Cookies and Cream and Cookie Dough. To all those within reading distance of this blog: Dip'n Dots will not be the ice cream of our family's future.

The date had to end sooner than usual because I had to leave for my first graveyard shift at my summer job. For all those that I haven't talked to about it, I help take care of four handicapped men that have become my friends- Eleno, Danny, Zack, and Forrest. Last night was an adventure as I had to personally hold Zack's door shut for an hour from 11 to midnight so that he would not get out, go in everybody's rooms, scream, turn on their lights, and other things he loevs to do. I did not get much sleep. Anyways, I expect I will be sharing more stories and explanations from my job because there have already been some adventures. Carrie, too, will likely be sharing some uproariously funny stories from the world of asset protection law.

I came home and slept the morning away while Carrie did homework and went running. We spent the afternoon at Seven Peaks, getting in our quotas for carcinogenic sun rays for the week. I fear that I am more burned than I have been recently, but it is good to get sun burned every once in awhile. It means you are living your life.
