Small Update

So I didn't have much to say, but I'll put in some words anyway. :) Emily is now working part-time for Farm Bureau insurance (her brother-in-law is an agent) while she studies her way through school. She's looking forward, as always, to summer concerts. Silversun Pickups, Muse, and U2 are on the horizon.

As for me, I'm trying to pick up snowboarding. My co-worker Garrett is generously showing me the ropes, and Powder Mountain only charges $15 for a pretty decent nighttime boarding experience.

I'm still working for rFocus, on contract with HotlinkHR. It's been the longest contract I've worked on, but that's ok because I work with really good people and the project is pretty challenging and interesting (usually).

This summer, we're hoping to finish putting in the rest of our yard. That should involve lots of work, but it will be fun to see the results. Also, I've determined I'm gonna follow a vigorous lawn-revitalization schedule to see if I can get the grass looking better by the end of the year.


We're excited that Brandon, Tasha, and Kayli are moving back closer. Emily's brother's family just bought a house in Farr West and it's fun to see them often.

Birthday/Christmas

So I get questions about what I want for my birthday or Christmas. Emily is the gatekeeper to that information. But if all else fails, a gift card to Lowe's will work. We've got plenty of stuff we could use from that store.

Building a Shed

So my dad and I put together a shed. Time to recover some space in the garage. It'll be nice to park both cars inside, especially come winter. It turned out to be a pretty good match with the appearance of the house.

We hand-mixed and -poured almost 2000 lbs. of concrete for the foundation. Those holes ended up being a little bigger than we planned.

BREAKING NEWS: Camping at Fort Buenaventura

So we finally went camping. It's up in Ogden at Fort Buenaventura. Camping is always a good time, plus we're up here with my cousin's family. Although I do have something to say about the site—railroad tracks 200 feet from your tent makes for a crappy camp spot. Seriously...

P.S. blogging while camping is hard work. I hope you all appreciate the breaking-news nature of our blog.

This Is Me

I'm not sure why, but this comic strip is so me. The alternate caption reads, "The worst part is when the sidewalk cracks are out-of-sync with your natural stride."

Happy Birthday Em!
