Gardening Amongst the Weeds

Many of my long time readers know that I moved to a new place almost two years ago.  And still today we love the place.  Sure there have been bumps in the home, but it has been great for many reasons.  The home is comfortable, the neighborhood is great, and we simply just feel at [...]

Summer of Camping

In the thirteen years that my wife and I have been married, I haven’t camped as much time camping as I did this summer. Oh great, this is starting to sound like the typical back to school essay “How I Spent My Summer.” But deal with it. Trip #1 The camping adventures started with a [...]

Mowing the Lawn

I hate mowing the lawn. I have seriously considered xeroscaping my whole yard simply to get myself out of this mundane mostly pointless task. A task placed upon in the true spirit of Adam and Eve. It is the curse place on me because my forefathers partook of the fruit. Our ancestors started this evil [...]

Shadow Children and Government Control

I recently just finished the Shadow Children Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The first in the series is Among the Hidden. In this book Luke Gardner is the third born child to his parents in a society where parents are only legally allowed to have two children. This law is enforced by the death of [...]

Thirteen Years of Complete and Total Utter Marital Bliss

Today is the anniversary of the happiest day of my life. Thirteen years ago at roughly 10:00am, my wife and I met in the Jordan River Temple, and surrounded by family and friends we committed ourselves before God to live together forever. We knelt at an alter and committed to love one another, serve one [...]

And Then There Are Six

Alright, I’ll admit that my priorities are probably really messed up. I have two bits of good news to share and I chose to tell you about the work related news first. So, hate me, everyone else already does anyway. Last Friday my wife and I took a little trip to the doctors office. As [...]

Getting Off of the Hoot

I have complained about it before. I have even given expressions of hope that it was going to happen before. But this time it is serious. I have been working the graveyard shift (hoot owl, hoot for short, is what we call it here) for just shy of 4 years now. And as trite and [...]

RSS Reader Wars

Starting about a year ago, I was thinking that I should start using a RSS reader. I tried several, but they seemed to be rather awkward and very difficult to use. After trying several, I would wonder what all the fuss was about. They just didn’t work very well. It seemed like I missed a [...]

Charter Starter

At the beginning of the year, I registered my children to be in the random drawings to get into one of four charter schools near our home. While, I am interested in a better academic experience, and in choosing a better school for my child. I honestly was just enrolling into anything and everything I [...]

I'm All Caught Up! Whew!

Back in July I had a wonderful two week vacation of geocaching, family (the in-laws), and girls’ camp with my daughter.  However, upon my return, I found myself behind on reading my RSS reader.  I was so overwhelmed that I didn’t even bother reading most of the posts in July.  I simply hit the mark [...]
