Yellowstone 3

June 28th, 2008 1 Comment

Day 3. More driving. Always driving. We went to Tower and watched more water fall off rocks. That seems to happen a lot around here. There were a couple of colorful characters hanging around near the parking lot with a sign that said, “save the buffalo” or something like that. [...]

Yellowstone 2

June 28th, 2008 2 Comments

Sequels are never as good as the original so keep in mind that this one won’t be as good as the last one which wasn’t that great.
I met more rangers today. Two of them seemed like very nice polite people. It probably helped that in the one case the lady was in a [...]

Yellowstone

We went to the happiest place on earth, now were off on a family vacation to the stinkiest place on Earth - Yellowstone. Like the Earth’s anus this place belches the nastiest gas you have ever smelled. The girls love it, but hold their noses a lot. I am good with it [...]

Tonight was the first time since September that I and Callie have been alone, together, outside of the house. We were able to spend 15 minutes eating a Quiznos sub in a gas station in Tremonton, UT. After that we visited our accountant (The best accountant in the world - Michael Bruce in [...]

I am at the FamilySearch conference at BYU today which means that I had to get up at 5:30 this morning which is one my least favorite things in the world. Luckily caffeine is my friend and I managed to stay awake for the drive down. I did discover this morning that my [...]

A Life Of Service

March 2nd, 2008 No Comments

I attended my great uncle Wes’s funeral today. I never like the idea of going to funerals but every time I go I am glad I did. I didn’t spend a lot of time around Uncle Wes. Mostly I would see him at family events at my grandmother’s (He is my Grandmother [...]

Weddings So Totally Suck

February 25th, 2008 5 Comments

Weddings suck. Everything about them, surrounding them and having to do with them is really quite inane. Although I am sure I will take a lot of crap for writing this which may or may not result in a dissolution of a certain matrimony which required such an event, I am going [...]
