So I finally have some time to sit down and write about my recent trip to NYC with Jared, Emily, Shauna, Ed, Debbie, Cathy, and Wendy. Initially i was a little worried in having a large group go as sometimes everyone wants to do different things and it ends up that no one gets to…

Red State Blue State…at least consider me!!!
So noticed in my travels to Colorado and Nebraska over the last little bit that, when watching TV, that both the Democrats and Republican campaigns run their ads non stop at almost every commercial break. Think about that when you’ve been watching TV here in good ole Utah. almost Every Commercial Break… They want your…
Why do I love October?
So today is the first day of October, which is my birthday. But more importantly, for me anyway, it marks the start of my favorite time of year, Fall. Football is in full swing, baseball postseason starts today (Go Angels!!!!), and the holidays are just around the corner. I love it. Want to tell all…
The Stanley Hotel
Ever since reading “The Shining” by Stephen King, I’ve been fascinated with the Stanley Hotel (which King based his novel on). This weekend I was able to go to Beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, to stay in this infamous hotel. ( To learn more about the history of F.O Stanley and the hotel he built, click…
CATS
Em and jared invited me to go with them and Syd to go the musical production of CATS downtown at the beautiful Capitol theatre. Being a fan of most musicals productions ( Mama Mia being the exception and i haven’t even seen it….) I was excited to see it and be with Syd with her…
World of Difference
On Saturday, i participated in a 5k down along the provo river for a group called World of Difference . This organization is raising money for expeditions to go to Kenya, Africa to help build projects to support their community. I just submitted my application to be a part of expedition B, which will be…
back to 20/20 vision
So after comtemplating the pro’s and con’s, I made the decision to get LASIK surgery last Monday. For people that might be interested in this, i went to HOOPES VISION , and i couldn’t be happier with the results. Many of you may recollect this image of me with my Chevy Chase glasses from the…
Raising Awareness in the WB
So 9/13/2008 marked the 2nd annual 5K in West Bountiful for Founder’s Day and my sister’s memorial scholarship fund. I find that with the passing of time, events such as this not only are great character defining moments, but opportunities to give to a world so much larger in scope then our own individual lives….
Utah football home opener
So this last Saturday Emily was able to swing a couple of tickets to utah’s home opener. lucky for me, jared was out of town golfing in Star Valley, so I was the beneficiary. So now having gone to both BYU and Utah’s home opener’s, I can honestly say that Ute fan’s totally rule over…
Salsa for Sundays (and every other day)
So Emily decided that we should make salsa on labor day this year. I was pumped as the NFL starts on Thursday, and i need football watching food desperately. I arrived at their house early (around 815am) Monday morning and went right to work chopping peppers, onions, (my poor ojos!) garlic, and all kinds of…
Trolling at Rockport
So after the disaster with my boat last weekend at Strawberry, Jared and I spent this week working on doing boat repairs. After fixing the trailer tires, taking out the illegal fuel pump, putting in a manual hand operated one instead, re-wiring the trailer lights, and a whole lotta luck, we took the boat up…
College Football season has finally arrived
So August 30th marked the opening of the College Football season, and i couldn’t be more thrilled. Fam got three season tickets to BYU this year, and Mom works at the U and can get discounted tickets for those games, so my Saturday’s should be filled a plenty. Me, Aaron, and Pops went to the…
