About Time

Graduation. My mom looks really surprised for some reason.

Laura and I doing a rocking version of 12 days of Christmas we wrote on Christmas Eve.

Well I think from September to now is enough time to keep everyone in great anticipation for our next great post. I'm sorry to disappoint, but this one will be pretty dull as the rest. Yes, all two of them. I guess I'm just not that reliable. I saw our blog has over a hundred views. I'm pretty sure that's from Ang checking to see if there is anything new and just getting annoyed.

Anyway on to more important things. Some pretty exciting stuff has happened since the last time I posted. Laura and I are living the American dream and moved back in with my parents. Yes I really am a prize husband. I spent months unemployed and moved my wife in with my folks. If that's not a provider I don't know what is. It''s been an interesting few months. We moved in just before Christmas and it's been quite a change. My parents are great though and I'm happy it's happened in a way because Laura's has gotten to know my parents better. As many of you know it's hard not to like my parents, as insane as they are.

I recently graduated from BYU in broadcast journalism. I know, I hardly believe it myself. I barely got through high school and now I've graduated from a university. Laura is getting ready to start her last semester of school. She's the really impressive one. She's going to graduate in nursing. She's insanely smart and a really hard worker. I know what you're thinking, but I don't know why she ended up with me either.

She's in D.C. right now for school. She's only going to be there for a week, but still I hate her being gone. That's part of the reason I'm doing this at 2:00 in the morning. I can't sleep while she's gone. Anyway she's enjoying it and I'm jealous.

We had a spot of good fortune recently as well. After being out of work for about three months a neighbor, Blake Hobson offered me a job. He has a security company and he brought me on as an installer. I really enjoyed it. He was a great guy to work for and he really took care of us. I felt really bad, however, because I left after only three weeks. That's because I was offered a job at KSL.

It really surprised me. KSL, along with all the local stations, are in freezes. That's why I was unemployed for awhile. I really wanted to work in television because that's what I graduated in. Well they needed to fill a position and I was lucky enough to be chosen. I am now an assignment desk editor for KSL TV. I'm really happy. I work with great people and work for a great company. I'm learning a lot and I'm definitely the new guy. Not only in terms of how long I've worked there, but also I'm just out of school. It's been a challenge in some ways, but I couldn't be more excited to be working at KSL.

Laura and I are doing well and have a lot to look forward to. I'd like t say I'll be better about posting, but I can't make any promise, sorry Ang.

Quite a Weekend

I apologize, but we don't have any pictures from the weekend. None the less it's still worth talking about. 

My parents took us down to St. George for the weekend. We had a good time except for one night, but I'll get to that later. We went golfing on Saturday which was a blast. I actually did fairly well. I know it surprised me too. Anyway, it was Laura's first time ever and she did really well. It did sometimes take her five or six whacks at it before she made contact, but once she did she got a hold of it. We had a blast and I am thankful she liked it. We can now go together and she might be a little more forgiving now that I want to go all the time. I'm afraid my dad didn't do quite so well. His golfing was fine, but he was sick. Let's just say a little bit of Craig Clyde is all over the back nine of the Sky Mountain golf course. He got pretty sick and threw up his fair share of times.

Well that night we saw Les Mis at Tuachaun. That may be spelled wrong, but I don't care. It was pretty amazing, but I've got to be honest I've now seen that play three times and I think I'm set for life. Again I enjoyed it, but I may have enjoyed it for the last time.

On to the highlight of the weekend. We got there on Friday night and I felt fine on the drive down, but after we got there I started feeling a pain in my back and stomach. Well, turns out I had a kidney stone. If someone would have sat me down and hit me in the face with a baseball bat and then made me watch Pauly Shore movie marathon I would have felt better. Sorry about the obscure Pauly Shore reference, I really did like "Son-in-Law". For the next four hours I paced back and forth in the room because that's the only thing that took my mind off of it. I tried to tip toe so I wouldn't wake Laura. Bless her heart she stayed up with me until about 3:30, but was gone after that, and I don't blame her. Luckily I felt better by that morning so i could go golfing, but it was terrible. Worst thing I've gone through, and I was roommates with Dickson... That was a joke, I love you Jeff. You are a pain to share a room with sometimes though and you know that.

Well I'm going to take off for now, but thought I'd give you the update. I hope I have appeased Ang by finally posting again and Scotty needs to get off my back about posting something new because we're all pretty sick of California Dreamin'.

Side Note

I figured I should show you who we are. I'm guessing you all already know, but maybe it's been awhile and I also wanted to show you how lucky I am. I don't think I'll ever know why she picked me, but thank the gospel she did. And yes the water really was that cold, that face is no joke.

Inspiration

Well Laura and I have finally moved up in the technological world. We now have a blog. I know it's a pretty big step for us, considering I still don't know how to use call waiting on my cell phone. I actually created this blog a week ago, but true to form, I was much too lazy to write anything. Now, however, when both Laura and I have no time on our hands with school starting we decided to add one more thing to our impossible schedule's. 

This weekend we went to Bear Lake with some friends and dear sweet Angela spends about 30 hours a week on her blog, so she inspired me that I could take about five minutes. You can see that it was a pretty incredible weekend by the picture I've put up of Jonny and I. Yes we're that good of friends. We had a great time this weekend and love having such great friends. I am about 90% sure I suffered minor hypothermia after following my impulse, and peer pressure (much of it from Laura), to get in the water this morning when it was probably around 50 degrees. I'm aware I'm not the smartest human being, I am a communications major after all. 

Anyway we had a great time this weekend and we were all happy to see Tal finally caught up on his sleep. If there's two things that man can do it's sleep and snack. We love ya Tal.

This part is for my good friend Jonny. We stopped at the Maverick in Evanston and I got a hot dog with habenero sauce. Good work young lad. Now I just need to scrounge up $1.75 every now and again.

Also I know Scotty's got a Blog so I hope he reads this. I just need to say, pretty lame excuse on not coming to Bear Lake. Poor effort.

Well this is getting long so I better wrap up. So I'm hoping I'll keep up on this, I have a tendency to do something once and throw in the towel, but I think this will stick. So, I guess you'll all be hearing from me soon.
