Okay so I have never really been a blogger but today I went and looked at my Brother Steve and his wife Tina, my daughter's (long story) blog and it is AWESOME! I ned some lessons. So I figured I could do a little better.

Currently our life has become better but not really less complicated.

Now that my Semi-involuntary sabbatical is over and I am once again gainfully employed, much stress has been lifted. however I am now commuting an hour each way, compares to the previous commute of 1 min 37 seconds (I actually timed this). But I am grateful to have a job!

Life is moving fast. Dianne and I now have 2 teenagers and they are both girls (why me?) Riley is now 10, Molly 6, Lily 4, and Jonny 2. needless to say my wife is the hardest working woman on the planet, and she still finds time to kiss me a lot. We kind of like it. :)

Hailey loves it when I use this picture!

whats up with us?

after graduation I quickly went on a mission to Taiwan and served with fellow PHS grad Mike Verville. upon my return I recieved a football scholarship to Ricks and went there where my little sis was on a basketball scholarship. I met and married Teresia Kruyer of Edmonton Alberta, Canada 6 months after my return from Taiwan. Tragically Teresia died with child shortly before our 6 month anniversary.
After I graduated from Ricks a few years later, I continued with football at USU in Logan and met Dianne Goates.
After I graduated from USU (neither my wife nor myself are True Aggies) I continued on and received my masters 2 years later. I have worked in public education for 11 years as a high school guidance counselor-- 5 years in Utah 6 in Las Vegas. We have been married 14 years and have 6 children: Ashley 13, Hailey 11, Riley 8, Molly 5, Lilly 2, and Jonny 7 mo.
Life is awesome and kids are the greatest gift I have. My wife stays home and is the hardest working person I know.
