A Vicious Cycle


After taking Sunday and Monday off Lauren has once again resumed her studying. As you can see she is very excited. Her goal is take this next exam the second weekend of July. It is hard not to feel bad for the girl, she just works so hard. Other than that life is good. My little sister just got engaged, and my little brother just returned home from a two year mission. So when you take those things into account our lives seem pretty boring.

A Fun Weekend...

Lauren took her second part of the CPA exam on Saturday. It was such a relief for her -and me- to finally be finished. She had worked so hard and studied so much. We will keep you updated on the results (even though we all know she aced it). Afterwards we took a break and went up to Salt Lake City. Lydia had gotten us a gift card to a cute place called Ruth's Diner. It was fun and good. I even ate a mushroom sandwich, it made me feel very trendy to eat a vegetarian dinner. We then went and joined some of the classiest people in Utah at an Utah Blaze, Arena Football game. It is professional indoor football league, the field is only 50 yards and it is meant to be more high scoring. It was interesting and so much fun that we left at halftime. But on the way down we went to Sonic and rekindled our love for the Lemon Berry slushy. We highly recommend this delectable treat, it is the perfect combination of sweet and sour, all for a very low price. It was a nice escape and it was great to spend the day together.

It's Crunch time...

Those who know Lauren can attest to her work ethic. The girl works harder than anyone I know. Her second section of the CPA exam is coming up this weekend and Lauren has taken studying to a whole new level. She deserves to succeed more than anyone and she will do awesome. Despite her hectic schedule she is still the best wife ever. As the week wears on I am sure she will only study harder. I hope everyone can cross their fingers and say an extra prayer for her.

It's getting hot up here...

We officially kicked off summer with a quick trip to Trafalga. It is a local mini golf place here in town. It was actually a really nice day and it was a great break for Lauren from studying (she is taking her CPA exam in a week). Lauren beat me--but she kept score. Am I the only one who smells something fishy? I have appealed the final score and the victory is being reviewed, but until then I guess I have no choice but to declare her as the winner. Lauren has submitted this scorecard as evidence of her domination...
I do not do too well with losing, so this will will take some time to get over. It was a fun day, and we got a season pass so we should have many more.

Our First Post...

Well we are going to try this out and see how it goes. Hopefully it will be a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Lauren is not totally sold on the idea, but I think she will come around. I figure we can all give her positive peer pressure and she will eventually succumb. We got a new camera yesterday, which means we should start taking more pictures and documenting our fun and uneventful lives for all of you. We hope you all will enjoy.
