It is true....

When initially listening to it during conference, I was blown away. the church has made a little video containing some of the message, watch it, and you get only a small tid bit of how powerful the whole talk was...

April...#1

OK, OK. I admit. I may only get 1 post each month. I do have it in my mind to post twice, but things aren't working out, and quite frankly I haven't had anything really exciting to talk about. I finally finished my door project in our bathroom, Allie painted the bedroom and ripped out all the base board, leaving that for me to finish. She actually gets the worse part though, cause she has to paint it all!!! Summer is coming, I can feel it in the air, no really. Even though we got enough snow last weekend that the neighborhood was covered in snowmen. Allison did take me to breakfast at Cindis in Huntington Saturday morning. It was great!!! Thanks for the surprise love. (I think she did it cause she knew how awnry I get when it is painting time) Then she went and painted pretty much all of the room why I was messing with the door and feeding the kids. Sprinkling system is getting ready to be put in, well the one last line in the back. The driveway should be put in the end of this month, and then trees. And all my summer projects are over!!!! Except for hauling dirt to the east flower bed and straightening out the west one (my wife wants matching flower beds). Compared to sprinkler lines and driveways...that is childs play. I am closing in on the end of the weight loss contest, and so far lost 20 lbs. We have until the week of the 18th in May. I was trying to get below 200 but that would be another 30 pounds, and I don't see that happening, but I keep swimming, keep watching my weight and some will still come off. I would like to start lifting also...but that never happens, besides I don't have a weight set. Anyway...enough rambling. If something of interest happens I will be back on until then...

March #1,,,,

Well here we are halfway through march and I am on the first post. I had to recover, we again went up north and spent over 500 dollars. Crap oh mighty man, when does it ever end???? Anyhow, spring is here, at least until easter, and the weather is nice. Hoping to get started on all my outside projects soon. Would like to plant some cripps pink apple trees, if anyone knows exactly where or if I can find them let me know. I might even post some pictures, but I let my beautifully hot wife do that stuff. I just mainly get on here to rant and complain. Speaking of, last weekend was spent painting. I hate painting, and I still have more paitning to come. I kept asking Allison whos idea it was to wait until winter was over to start painting projects...??? Don't look now, papa Obama is leading to the light!!! hold your breathe. I gained 300 in my 401k in a week. Too bad it will all disappear in a freaking day.....

How much was that....? Feb.#2

So, if you haven't ever been to the ER and had an HSA insurance, you probably have never been subject to the shock. I took Trandon over to the ER Friday, we got there a little after 6:00 pm. He hadn't stopped screaming that his ear hurt since he got home from school, all the clinics didn't have appointments so to the ER we went. So after 3 freaking hours, we were taken back, then after a half hour the doc came in, sure enough about to burst, bad ear infection. So out we went, went over to pay, said just pay right now, they were kind enough after a 4 hour wait to give me a 20% discount and the bill came too.....178.00!!! the kicker, that wasn't even the doctors charges. So I paid almost 60/hr to hold up the freaking wall in the emergency room. Hey Obama, fix that you freaking socialist nut job. The wait was bad enough for paying customers, how about when everyone and their dog is getting governemtn hand out healthcare, what kind of wait do you think we will have then!!!???!!! Anyway, so yeh, I was miffed. then we went up and got our taxes done, I should have had my co workers just help me with them, eneded up paying 150.00 to get them done...OUCH... then it seems like everytime we go up north we can't get out of Sams/Maceys without spending a total of 500$. I just about flipped. Allison said that is why she leaves me home with the kids and what do I expect to go shopping once a month with a family of 6. How much was that again??? No freaking wonder I can't get a head to save my life.......

Feb. #1

For the doubters.....
Here I am again, as promised. Please forgive as I did miss Jan. #2. However can I make it up to the legions of followers...maybe a month with triple the fun??? Anyhow, just crusing right along into the 2009. I don't know why but randomly looked up my chinese zodiac sign...I am a tiger. Here are the traits, see if they are correct:Unpredictable, rebellious, colorful, powerful, passionate, daring, impulsive, vigorous, stimulating, sincere, affectionate, humanitarian, generous. Can be restless, reckless, impatient, quick-tempered, obstinate, selfish. Seems to me that the Chinese are pretty smart people as most of those hit it right on the nose. And I know all this inforation is correct because I found it on Wikipedia and ask Jessica Alba, that is the source of all great knowledge...;) When will the government just wake up and stop giving billions of dollars to corrupt businesses that will just be back for more in 6 months, and give each tax paying, natural born citizen, of this great United States 100 G's each? Seriously come on, how much are WE going to have to bail out the government for all the bail outs? Our poor children and grandchildren. Again, I must bring your attention to the blog about my mission buddy's little boy, Charlie. there is a link on this page, go have a read of the rath or charlie, seriously Rob kills me. If I were to only be so eloquently spoken, ah, to aspire to such high things. Well, projects for 2009 have been determined and will pretty much wipe out any fundage that comes my way, and they are: driveway, grass, trees, playset for kids, new lawn mower. I guess after that I can just fish and camp all summer. Sounds good to me...until #2

2009....I will do better...

I promise that I will do better to post at lease twice a month, I may even include pictures...we shall see, but for all who have given up on me...come back, come back...

Hold our breath and hope for the best....and other..

Well a new leaf has turned. The US has a new Pres. and now all we can do is hold on and hope for the best. I did not vote for Obama, but now that he has one there is only one thing to do is wait it out and see how he does. Do I hope he fails miserably and runs the country into the ground...hell no. I hope the guy proves all the people wrong that are doubting him. Really the only thing that bugs me is that, if the guy is legit, why doesn't he just produce his bc and get it over with. I mean really come on...what is he hiding? Anyway, if I could ask him one thing, that would be it, why, why don't you be upfront and show your birth certificate.
Why all the hate towards the LDS church and mormons from all the gay activists? I mean you can look at one fact and realize...um maybe Californians really believe that marriage is between a woman and man. Taken from 2007 numbers, mormons make up less than 3% of the california population.....hum.....wow....that is amazing. The whole state of California voted yes to Prp 8 (good job CA) and yet the lds church is being blamed for the whole thing? Whatever. I don't get it...anyhow, things are changing always in the world and will continue to do so and won't ever stop...all we can do is be the best we can be and the rest of it is out of our hands....
