Another trip, another week. Here we are in Tempe right now, half way through our trip. We took advantage of the opportunity to sleep in this morning, and it has felt great. We drove down on Thursday as soon as i left for work. I met Amanda in Show Low where she interviewed for a job at Summit Health Care. They offered her a job as a HUS in MED SERG. For those people who’s wives aren’t in the medical field and either are you (i’m learning tons when we study and she tells me about her day), she will be a Health Unit Secretary for a part of the hospital that does Med Serg as well a Telemetry.

Yesterday we got up very early and headed for ASU to see Ceri’s graduation. They filled Wells Fargo Arena with students, teachers, and family. After we saw and screamed for Ceri we headed up to Sun City to visit Sue and the others @ COL. It has been a while since i’d been there, and had some cleaning up to do on their network. Everything seems to be running smoothly now, and we were able to just miss rush hour as we crossed the city one more time. Back to Azstar we said hi to everyone, and on the way in I told Amanda that i’d bet her 5 bucks that they would ask me to do something for them. Sure enough we are going over to the Heath’s for lunch today to unpack, install, and work on their new computer. I hope its Carne Asada!!!

After Azstar we went to the apartment and paid it off completely. That’s is such a huge weight off our shoulders. We ended up at Red Robin with Clancey and his Girly Friend. After the steak fry goodness that we hadn’t had for like 5 months we went and watched IronMan!!! Totally worth it! Getting home at midnight we crashed out for another big day.

We woke up Saturday and headed to the Temple. I didn’t realize how much i missed that place until then. We had a great session, and then headed over to the Heaths for lunch and computer time. That’s where i am now as i watch the computer update itself. Oh the joys of being the Keyboard Cowboy.

A very fast week this week as we’ve been getting ready to go to Colorado for Sam & Jill’s farewell BBQ in Fruita. They are moving east for Jill’s school. I am excited to go, but oh how much i do not like long drives. The wind is blowing like there’s no tomorrow (which is normal for this time of the year), and it makes everything way too much fun. I have picked up a couple new customers here in RV and it has made the side business very nice as of late. I hope things continue on in this direction, but i hope i can balance it with work and still have some down time to be with Amanda. Next weekend should be just as crazy as we are going to phoenix to see Ceri Gough’s graduation and Dallin Harris’ wedding. He asked me to DJ it so we figured it’d be a good time to get away. All in time to try and get back for Mother’s Day that Sunday. Never rest for us!

Got this in the emails… (oh i love forwards and the internets)

A cool Glenn Beck video…

Just got twitter for fun… We’ll see I guess. It reminds me a lot of facebook’s updates but hopefully better. Click on the link to the left to follow us and let the good times roll.

The weekend went by way too fast. My mom is still kinda sick but more just tired. She asked Amanda and me to take Mylea and a friend to the carnival, and i began to understand why parents aren’t thrilled about the carnival. One of the mom’s we were talking to made the comment she understands now why there were never allowed to go, “oh ya, i guess they didn’t want us to get hepititus…” Saturday Amanda crammed for school as it is wrapping up for the semester and I hammered out the video for the gymnastics production. It turned out well i believe. Here’s my little broseph doing his thing…

Newho during the day we went out and rode the horses again with Mylea and her friend. The wind was blowing like mad crazy, but Moo did so great! Later in the evening we went to a BBQ and met some new peeps in RV (couples about our age). This next weekedn we are going to a game night which should be a good time. Hopefully some pics coming… Jenn is coming this week and so that will be a good time to see her again.

Well this last weekend was a really good time. John and Ceri came up and visited us on Saturday night. We ended up over at my Mom and Dad’s for the usual Sunday dinner and then a roping lesson and Ceri’s first encounter with a horse. We let our killer 1 year-old colt, Jigsaw, on her. I think we all had a blast, and i even ended up sun burnt. (Man i love being bald!) For a ton of pics goto our web albums..

The rest of the weekend was ripping all of the video from the Gymnastics competition onto my video editing computer so i can get the DVD together before next weekend. Never a dull moment aournd these parts. YEEHAW!

Funny to remember a comment that my previous bosses’ wife told me that she always knew i wasn’t all sophisticated and was just a small town hick. I guess she is right but it ain’t no 90 something degrees where i’m at either. I guess sophistication involves a lot of being “hot under the collar” hehehe.
