We Have moved

We have moved to a new blog and website.  We feel it is a little easier to manipulate and it is easier to put pictures and comments on it.  here is the link

Size Matters...

Well a lot has happened since our last post, so I will do a quick little recap of the last three weeks... we did a lot and had a lot of fun.  So now that we are caught up to the present -- we got a new big screen TV.  We were not planning to get a new TV until Christmas time but when Lauren saw the television at the store she could not resist.  She kept on nagging me telling me how cool movies and sports would look on this new TV, so I finally gave in.  I personally do not see the big deal, it is just a TV.  But if I must be honest, I do love it and it wasn't Lauren doing the nagging.    

Last night we went to a see some drag racing with a couple that we know.  It was actually a lot of fun and there were some fast cars.  It was really loud and a whole new experience.  The crowd was a little backwards but it all contributed to the environment.  When it was all over we ran home to wash the 'redneck' off.  Hopefully there will be no long term effects. 

Good times in Beaumont

On Saturday night the married folk went to see a musical.  But not just any musical, we saw "Footloose".  It was a lot of fun, even Kevin Bacon would have been proud.  It was just done by a local group at an outdoor theatre.  I have never seen the movie, but I have seen the infamous scene of Mr. Bacon in the warehouse and his awesome moves.  Unfortunately this play did not have that scene, but it was still fun.  

Wedding Time...

Our friends, Jen & Tyler, got married on July 2nd.  I was a groomsman so that was a lot of fun.  What is even more exciting is that they are living in our apartment complex in the building across from us, so we are stoked to have them as neighbors.  The wedding was absolutely beautiful.  The reception was here in Orem at a place called Somewhere in Time.  It was really nice and we got a lot of good pictures.  So congratulations to them!

The whole thing made me think about our wedding.  I can't believe it has almost been a year.  I am so glad that it happened, Lauren is the best thing in my life.  She got her haircut before the wedding so tell her you like it.  

4th of July

Well it has been an exciting weekend for us.  There was a lot going on, but we had a lot of fun.  My parents came from North Carolina and will be out in Utah/Idaho for another week or so.  Lauren's parents came up for the weekend.  And on top of all of that my brother and sister came down for a couple of days with their fiancee and girlfriend.  So it was nice to have a full house and to spend time with everyone.  We had a cook out on the 4th and then went up to BYU to watch the fireworks.  We had an awesome view, it was the best that I have ever had.  But there always has to be a kink in the plans, and our big kink came on the way home from the fireworks.  We all waited in traffic for at least a couple of hours.  It was ridiculous, but somehow we persevered and are here today to tell the tale.  All in all it was a great 4th of July!

Caution--Contents Will Break Under Pressure

Sorry it has taken us so long to make a blog entry.  We have had exciting things to write about The most exciting is I broke my collarbone.  You would be surprised how much we use that bone. So I have been in a sling for the past week and still have another two weeks to go.  I broke it at a water park here in Utah.  Apparently when you fall off your tube in an enclosed slide you are not supposed to hit the wall at high speeds -- go figure.  So I have been out of commission and been feeling especially worthless, but Lauren has been so helpful and supportive.

I also got a MacBook.  This is the best decision I have made since I married Lauren.  I even made a movie to put on YouTube from our wedding that I'm quite proud of, the web address can be found below.  If you do watch it I only ask that you give us compliments, I don't deal with criticism too well.  

Lauren has been studying away.  She is taking her 3rd CPA exam in a couple weeks.  Outside of that she has been helping her vegetable husband. She helps me get dressed, get cleaned and about everything else. What a girl!

Lauren's mom and step-dad are coming here this week and so are my parents.  It will be awesome to see them both and we promise to take lots a pictures.
