4. Manage His dad's money
5. Find a sweet job in Cedar

2. anything with BBQ sauce or Miracle Whip (It's disgusting how much he likes and eats this!)
3. food
4. food
5. ...did I mention food?! he likes everything...except vienna sausages

5 things you may not know about him: (all the things I can think of he wouldn't want me to share...lol, I'll try and come up with something)
1. He drools in his sleep
2. He thinks being a dad is the coolest thing a man can do
3. He knows how to run big farm machinery and ride horses and all that jazz you'd never guess about him, it's extremely hot when he does this stuff, but it is RARE!!!
4. he spends a ridiculously tiny amount of time on school work and it's always last minute, this drives me nuts being in an extremely difficult major where that wouldn't ever cut it, and it makes me even more mad that he pulls the grades he does by slacking, it's not fair! lol
5. the rest I can't tell you, he'd be upset at me and make me take it off anyway!

5 places he's lived:
1. Neola house #1
2. Neola house #2
3. Sao Paulo, Brazil
4. Salt Lake City, Utah
5. Cedar City, Utah

5 quirky things about him:
1. He eats miracle whip on so many things and a large amount of it
2.
He holds his dress shirt tails between his legs in the front in order to pull his pants up and tuck them in. He calls this the "front tuck," apparently there are "back tuckers," Who would've knew?!
3. He does a smell test on his clothes to determine if they are clean enough to wear or need to be washed
4. He talks to himself and sometimes I catch him whispering something under his breath to himself, it's usually about a way he is going to get rich, a match-up for some football game on tv, the economy, etc. Often it's the most random thought you could ever imagine.
5. He eats faster than anyone I've ever seen...ever...

I'm gonna tag Tamaran

THE DYE UPDATE!!!

As you all will see, I've posted a ton of posts. These are from all throughout the semester and I'm sure I'll be putting more on. I guess that's what happens when school runs away with you! Better late than never I guess. It's pretty handy to get pictures on here as well as a few paragraphs...quite similar to a journal maybe?! Also great for preserving/preventing anything from happening to them, even if your computer were to crash-your account would still exist. hmmm, maybe a new years resolution for 2009 will be to do a little on the blog every Sunday instead of the journal.

Ward Hike




















Bishop decided to take us for a hike earlier this fall, and he wasn't kiddin! We started up on the road that crosses over to Brianhead. We walked all the way around Cedar Breaks and then into a beautiful slot canyon/gorge. We got to see Flannigan's Arch, wish we could've gotten closer, but that's another trip. When we came out of the canyon at the highway I finally realized we had hiked down the mouth of coal creek and came out up cedar canyon! The hike lasted from 8 am to about 5 pm! I'm guessing it was about 11-13 miles.
