It Starts

So....here it is...our first post. So, I guess I was so jealous of knowing what was going on in everyone's lives that we felt it necessary to update everyone on our un-eventful lives.

We'll do our best. For best results, subscribe to our blog so that you get notifications when we update our blog (which, with luck, will hopefully be more than once or twice a week).

So, here's what's new with the husband during January:
One snowy day, I went to pick up Sarah for lunch. Well, some RAC van thought that they deserved more of the snowy roads than I did! Long story short, my car didn't stop fast enough and I had a nice run in with his bumper.

The Damage:














But I was resourceful and decided to fix it myself instead of calling the insurance:









And the finished product:

Its not perfect...and not even painted...but hey, $84 sure beats the $500 deductible!

My dad somehow got some sweet ski passes to Park City Mountain Resort. Being the favorite son (just kidding all you brothers out there) he took me up one Saturday to enjoy the sunny day. :P And yes, we ARE wearing goggles from the 80's that were purchased in bulk from Costco.














And last but not least, my (insert relationship here) Jessica is a novelist and just released her 2nd book, "Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow." The wife has already read it and said that it was really good. It's now number 2 on my list of books to read. "Dragon Slippers" being number 1, and the first book published by Jessica. I shamefully admit that I seldom find the time to read outside of school. Hopefully this summer will bring about some change. Here's a photo of the book signing at Barnes and Noble:





Hope you enjoyed and that this wasn't a painful experience. See you next update!

Yea! I'm so happy you started a blog! And I get to be the first commenter.. First off, kudos on the car repair. That is really incredible. Do you think you could give your brother a crash course (haha) in basic car repair, just in case we ever need it? I'm really impressed with your know-how and resourcefulness and thriftiness (all fine traits).

Secondly, I think that all last-borns in families believe they are the favorite child. They just get a little more love piled on than the rest of the kids, perhaps. And all of us older children just humor the babies into believing they're the faves, though we all know better..:)
