What's Your Motto? Here are some that I like.
Happiness is not a state to arrive but a manner of travelling
Do or do not, there is no try
I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are just missing.
Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
Wrinkled was not one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up.
Procrastinate Now!
The purpose of life is a life of purpose.
What doesnt kill you only makes you stronger.

There were three jolly fishermen...
Oh man! I love these kids! We went up Little Cottonwood Canyon and took them camping. They loved everything about it and they are so fun to be with. Max made his first fire ever. A little boy after my own heart. I'm going to try to raise him right. Although honestly I had a little mishap with fire recently.
We were doing fireworks with the kids and we had started doing sparklers. The wind was so bad that we couldn't get the sparklers to light right. So, I was leaning a garbage can over and lighting them inside of it and handing them off. I was handing a lit one over to Max and I leaned over to get another match so I could light some more and all I see is a bright ball of FLAME sitting next to me on the dry grass. A spark from the sparkler had caught the matches inside the box on fire! I freaked out and luckily we had a big bucket of water in front of me for making sure that fireworks were out before we threw them away so I scooped it up with a sparkler box that was empty and threw it in and it floated. And that was AWESOME seeing a big ball of flame floating on top and then my sister ruined it by shoving it under the water!
I HATE LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT
Grrr.... I hate trying to find an apartment that I like and has what we want for the price we want. Especially in Provo when something will post and that day the apartment will be gone. I don't even get to make Ryan choose with me. He trusts me or something to pick one out on my own. I'm starting to think that this whole internship thing was just to get out of having to pick an apartment out for the school year.

Ryan got a job offer!
Well Ryan was officially offered a job next year with this accounting firm that he's with this summer. It's nice to know that this separation this summer hasn't been in vain. We probably wont have an answer for a while, (like Octoberish). Starting with one of the bigger accounting firms is more prestigious. But we really like the idea of living so close to my family and especially brand new niece! I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens!

I love my brother in law!
As many of you know my brother in law is LDS and is also in a beer commercial airing right now. For any of you that would like to comment or take offense to this let me just say a couple things.
I love Kirby like I love any member of my family. He's so caring about his kids and wife that I wish every dad could be more like him. Every minute he isn't working he is playing pretend with his son or pushing his daughter in a swing. He attends church and faithfully fulfills a calling. He has a testimony that shows in his every action. I look up to him and respect him so much.
Here is the situation as I see it. My sister is pregnant expecting in September (yay!).
They need a bigger house and have been renting ever since they moved to California.
Kirby doesn't make huge amounts of money but they do well enough that they are able to sustain themselves in the expensive state of California right? I'm sure with the baby on the way they have prayed for opportunities for Kirby to support the family.
Am I so narrow sighted that I couldn't consider the beer commercial opportunity an answer to prayer?
It all boils down to this... Is he still as worthy to enter the temple as he was before he did this commercial? YES For me that's all I would need to know.
What is sad is that people would attack Kirby for his choice. If his testimony really were lacking or if he was really having a hard time getting work, why would people who profess living better and making the best choice attack and publicly denounce him and his actions? I think this is truly a case of "he who is without sin cast the first stone" but since he is "famous" he should be perfect in all of his choices so he is a good role model, right? Well, he didn't ask to be a role model and if anyone wants to show true concern for him, I welcome your comments.
