Weekly Update

Well Nothing much new has happened this week. Tomorrow i get the day off of work, except for I get rewarded for getting all 4's on motoring's. It would have been a better reward if it would have been on Thursday. My boss said that normally the lunch is on a Thursday. I switched my day off, so that I would be able to go to the lunch, and what happens? They switch it to a Friday, that is just my luck I guess. This should be a fun weekend, Amanda and I are going to have a relaxing up at my family's condo in Midway. My oldest sister for my Christmas present got Amanda and I some passes so that we could go sledding at Soldiers Hollow for a couple of hours. I have always wanted to do that. I think they have a lift that takes up so you don't have to walk up the hill. I guess I will be headed down to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks to go to the Las Vegas Car Auction. My Dad has his auction license, and I need a car so, we are headed down. It just so happens to the Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament as well. It is so funny how that worked out!!!! No I knew that the tournament was coming up. One of my greatest memories from my high school years was going down to the tournament with my dad, and a bunch of my friends. Hopefully this year will be just as memorable. Amanda and I have decided between two cars; a Honda Accord and a Nissian Altima. It is a very difficult choice. I know that a Accord will run forever from what I have been told, but from the way things are looking the Altima are actually cheaper. The car we have right now has had its fair share of problem's, but it's like and old man ( my dad) once said " you either have a car payment or pay to fix the problems." So after doing years of paying to fix the car, we are going to do a payment I guess. I guess we just have to roll dice in Vegas and hope to get lucky with a car.

V- Day

I just thought that I would let everyone know what Amanda and I did on Valentine's Day. We both had to work that day, from 8 to 4:30. Then the real Day began, I surprised Amanda with a romantic dinner at the Melting Pot. Which is a fondue resturant. We have wanted to go there for a very long time, so I figured what the heck lets go. What Amanda did not know is that our friends, Breelyn and Ryan Ehin were going to meet us there. It was a great dinner, the only thing that I wish would have happened is that there would have been more meat especially the shrimp. Then, Ryan and I surprised the girls again with a romantic evening up to Ryans parents house where we had dessert and watched Step up it was a very good evening, what romantic feat will I pull next? Stay Tuned.

BYU Wins

Yes BYU won, was a good game? Yeah it was the Utes played a lot better than I thought they would. I would love to have the Utes guard Jhonny Bryant wear a BYU uniform. When is the last time BYU had a lighting quick guard that could penetrate like that, wait Jimmer Ferdette can he schooled Bryant many times to the basket. I love this BYU team they can win in many different ways. I will say this about the Utes; hiring Jim Boylen was the best thing that they have done in a long time. He is fiery, and is a very good coach. He also has a way with the refferres, I noticed that he got all the ref's together at halftime with BYU Coach to talk about the way the game was being called. His little meeting worked, the refs called a different game in the second half, credit those Boylen sales skills.

BYU Basketball

I know how much everyone loves it when I post about sports, but I am doing it anyway. I had the oppportunity to go the game. It was as intense of a game as I have been to in a very long time. I think my wife even had fun, in the first half at least. I loved every second of the game. It was nice to see BYU blow out a very good team. Though UNLV did not play that well, you could tell that if they were shooting well that they would be a tough team to beat. Wink Adams is lighting quick, and has good moves. BYU played great defense as a team there were only a couple of times that UNLV had free passes to the basket, most of the time when they did their was a 6'10 BYU center waiting for them near the basket. I am really excited for the BYU- Utah game on Wednesday. I can not wait till we beat Utah by 40. But I have kind of gotten used to beating the Utes these past two years, sometimes I wonder why they even show up to play, the Utes fans are the best to watch. They come in so excited, drunk, and do not have a clue about what is going on the game. Utah fans, generally speaking do not understand sports. I do understand that some may understand sports slightly, but not rally. This is just pure trash talk, for the game on Wednesday. My Prediction, BYU 85 Utah- why even show up?

Happenings in life.

Well not that much has changed in my life since last week. Amanda and I had a fun weekend we went and looked at cars, we need to get a new one here pretty quick. If any one has any suggestions please leave me comments and let me know how you feel about cars. I may not do what you suggest but it always fun to hear peoples opnion because everyone has there own opnion. We love the Honda Accord, that is what our mechanic said our the best cars. We have had numerous problems with our Jetta, so we are ready for a very inexpensive, very reliable car. But its like my dad says " you either pay for repairs, or you pay more in car payments." How true is that statement. A car is a car I gues as long as it gets you from point A to Point B right? Anyway please leave comments.

Snow, Snow, Snow, & More SNOW!!!

Will it ever go away? I keep joking that we will have to have summer picnics inside this summer! This is what Amanda and I woke up to on Sunday Morning. Church was canceled so instead we went out with our neighborhood and helped shovel ALL the snow! It took me about 2 hours to just make is look decent! The one thing I love about living in Alpine is the wild life. You can always count on it. This year our neighborhood has adopted a family of deer. There is 1 Buck who is pretty good size, along with him he has 3 doe and 2 babies that tag along. We were driving home on Sunday when we saw this little head poking out of snow on someones lawn. It was one of the babies, it had its nose completely turned up so he could make it through the snow that tells you how deep it is. The Mama deer was right in front trying to lead the way and make a path for them. It was so cute! But all in all I am DONE with the winter. I am getting very antsy for Spring to come! We ABSOLUTELY love where we live and are so excited to be home this summer and play hard! Can't wait for the snow to melt! Summer just can't come fast enough!
