Christmas

Jenn and I had a great first Christmas together. It is hard to believe that we have known each other for four christmases yet we have never been with each other except by phone. Thanks everyone for the presents (like Star Trek Generations from Jenn's parents. They'll make me a trekky yet!) and being here which made my first christmas back wonderful. The pictures below are from the two days after chrismas taken from our new Nikon D40 (Thanks Mom and Dad!).

What do you think of this House?

Jenn and I have found a house that looks promising.

It's absolutely the best house in our price range.

The only problem is that it's on a busy road.

We'd like to know about your experiences on big roads to

make a good decision. Thanks!

Feel free to click the picture to spin around.

Beware of the Bear!

An American Creed

I Do Not Choose to Be a Common Man

It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.

I seek opportunity—not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, “This I have done.”

Dead Snake

I got an e-mail the other day with a video of this huge dead snake in somebody's backyard. I thought it was awesome

Chef Boyardee

It appears that this is what happens when you forget your bowl and you are forced to use the plastic bowl under the counter in the break room at work. I wouldn't recommend it as you can see the results of my venture here. I know that this is exactly what you have all been waiting to see from my blog :)

The BlackBerry Conference

This week I went down to Park City for a BlackBerry Conference for my job. We stayed at the Zermatt which was very luxurious. When I arrived I quickly noted that I was surrounded by BlackBerry addicts. Everyone had a curve, pearl and even the BlackBerry Bold that hasn't been released yet. The conference consisted of several workshops where we learned about the growth of BlackBerry in the past year. BlackBerry is currently the number 1 smart phone in the U.S. And 2nd in the world. I received a bunch of free BlackBerry merchandise from a new bluetooth head set to a BlackBerry wine bottle holder.

If you are looking for a real phone or if your contract is about to end I would suggest BlackBerry. Letstalk.com offers free BlackBerry phones with their plans. Look around and buy and you'll find that you don't know how you lived without your precious BlackBerry smart phone.

Our Apartment

We've recently moved into our new apartment. Its located in Ogden. It's a basement apartment and it has a really big yard as well that we don't even have to take care of. We got a pretty good deal on it and luckily our new bedroom set furniture matches the walls. I hope you like the pics. Hopefully ill be able to put up actual camera pictures rather than the ones from my phone.

Fishing

On Friday Jenn decided that she wanted to take me on a date. She had me drive and drive and drive until we arrived at a dam. We had come to Loss Creek. As I've come to know, one of Jenns favorite things is fishing. We ended up catching two fish. Well, three but one got away. We gave them to my parents. So...for a good time. Go fishin.

Long time since I've done this.

I thought I would give everyone an update as to what I am doing now. I recently started summer school with a microeconomics class and an english class. The question I have is, why do college professors alwasa have to be so weird? Also, why do they make us read things that nobody could possibly understand? I'm not sure, but its going well.

The wedding plans are coming along for Jenn and I. Yesterday she got her bridals taken and we are getting our invitations printed next week. The big day is rapidly approaching.
Last week we went to lagoon so I thought I'd post a picture ofAaddy on the merry-go-round. It was a blast.
I'm also including one of the many engagement pictures that we took at the Bonneville salt flats. They turned out great. Aren't we good lookin?
