Star Trek

I'm not a trekky... or however you spell it. I know nothing about Star Trek... until now...

I've seen the movie twice and its been out less than a week... how can you not love a movie where people base jump out of a space ship??

Hmm...Dreams?

So I was thinking last night how much I would love to be a professional golfer. Lets think about it....You get paid to play golf around the world, and all you do is enter tournaments to play for money. I think that sounds amazing. So I began to do my research to see if it really is to late to become a professional. I found that it is not too late if you have talent (which I am a pretty talented person), and it cost tens of thousands of dollars! So I think there is still a chance that I can play. So I talked Dawnelle into letting me just play golf after I graduate! I thought that was pretty funny to. Now I just need a really good coach to help me with some of my game. Over the past couple of weeks I have been really working on my short game, and I have seen tons of progress. I have knocked about 4-5 strokes already of my game in just chipping the stupid ball. I have had this stupid plague of slicing the ball when I chip this year, and it has been killing me. So I started to work on that, and then getting the ball in the little cup. It works! Golf really is fun when you are doing good!

I am also the golf coach here at the school for one of the teams. I have 5 other players on my team, and I am pretty excited to play some golf with them. We have a match this Friday that I am pretty excited for!

Another week...

So I have been home from my trip to K/BIS for a week and sorry there was no update... As for my trip... it was fantastic!! We started in High Point, North Carolina at the High Point Furniture Show. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful! and exhausting at the same time. We walked and walked and walked for a long time but we saw some absolutely incredible furniture!! I really enjoyed it. The next day we spent at the Biltmore in Ashville North Carolina. If you don't know anything about the Biltmore, google it. It is absolutely incredible!! It is the largest private residence in the United States. Its seriously like a castle! After Asheville we spent the next 4 days in Atlanta. I was seriously spoiled while I was there though because of all the competitions. It was pretty amazing actually.

I got to meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of new products. We rode the MARTA in Atlanta... almost lost someone too. That was amusing. We met Paul DiMeo from Extreme Makeover Home Edition and John Gidding from HGTV Designed to Sell. I got to see all the bath fixtures that I always spec from a company called Lacava. Alissa and I almost died when a huge piece of stone about fell on us while we were learning about Silestone, not really but the guy next to us almost did. We got to see a show in the Fox Theater. Holy cow... that theater was incredible!! My mom and I got to go to this gala in the center of Atlanta in Cenntenial Park. It was beautiful! The show was pretty cool too. Basically it was a wonderful trip and a great week that I was able to spend with my Mom!! I really enjoyed it...

This Blog...

So I am pretty dedicated to writing in this blog thingy right now. I am going to try my best to keep it updated, even though I think it is some what of a waste since most of the people that read it anyways talk to us on the phone....So yesterday I drove to down to Salt Lake to pick up my mom from the airport. So my day went as follows;

6:27am- Wake-up amazingly early in anticipation for the new day of golfing
6:55-Go to the golf course
7:00-Arrive at Teton Lakes
7:10-Hit a bucket of balls
7:40 Tee time!
11:50-Finished Golfing
12:00pm-Started the journey to SLC
3:25-Arrive in SLC
4:30-Picked up my mom
5:00-On the road again
8:00 Arrived in Rexburg
10:00-Went to bed!

So that is how my day went. I was pretty wrecked after that day because of waking up super early and then driving for like 7 hours or so. I don't think that I will do that again....

This week in the news.....

Well, Dawnelle has been out of town for almost a week. Let me tell you it is extremely difficult to go to bed when your spouse is not there! I have had no sleep in the past week because she has been gone. Other than that, the house has been extremely clean, and I haven't had to pick Dawnelle's hair stuff from off the floor in the bathroom every day. So in this sense life has been good around the house.

Yesterday, I walked around Wal-Mart for about an hour in search for something to do. I really have been extremely bored with Dawnelle not being here. So anyways, I am going on and on again about how much I miss Dawnelle...Back to the story....So I bought two feeder fish for Simba (My Oscar) to fee to him. It really is rather interesting to watch him stalk the fish and then attack and swallow it. I can sit and watch the fish for hours because they are pretty random.

Other activities that I have been doing include; golfing, sleeping, studying, and yeah...Golfing again.... I shot an 80 a couple of days ago and that was nice. Yesterday I shot who knows because I stop counting on the 6th or 7th. It wasn't too bad, but i was a little frustrated because I really do hate Rexburg now. It has been so nice the past couple of weeks, but this week it has been raining, snowing, and every other type of bad weather possible for golfing. Yesterday I showed up to the golf course and there was different spots of snow. So I went into the Pro Shop and Jeff, the guy that works there, said that 1 & 1/2 of snow fell on the course....!!!! How ridiculous is that? Yea, so I hate Rexburg for its weather which consist of 8 months of winter, 3 months of spring and fall, 3 weeks of misc., and finally 1 week of summer. I also am pretty ready to graduate and leave this place. I am just really tired of people that don't think in classes sometimes.

So, this is my venting place for this week because Dawnelle hasn't been home and I am ready for her to get back.

a WHOLE week... its like FOR-EV-ER

I realized today that I am leaving on Monday... what the word?? (haha a funny saying I heard a girl say the other day that I think I want to use... its totally Idaho too) But back the the purpose of this post... I am leaving on Monday for a WHOLE week!! Now I don't want to sound all lovey duvy but I have never been the one to leave my spouse at home. Jonathan always leaves me. He goes to Minnesota for a week, he goes camping at where ever for IBC... he's always left and I stay at home by myself. This means that he has never had to stay at our own house all by himself. I think he realized this yesterday... It was quite sad actually to watch his face as this idea settled into his brain. I feel kind of bad for him honestly. But then I think about what he is going to do that whole week... especially because one of his good friends wife is going with me which means they will be two boys with no wives... Anyway, here is his schedule for next week...

School
Work (if he feels like it)
Golf
Golf
Golf
Golf
(sun goes down)
Buy something for dinner
Golf on the xbox...
Sleep

Sad isn't it? But I know that he is going to have fun and I also know that I am going to have a BLAST!!! and I'll take lots of pictures and post them here because I'm going to be an good blogger now... :)

Our children are doomed

I thought about writing something exciting like what we did this beautiful weekend or that we are terribly excited that Katelyn and Nate and Ethan are back in Rexburg (because we really are) but instead I have decided to share a little insight with you about our future children... they are going to have curly hair. I really don't think they have any chance for anything else. Check it out...

Jonathan with long hair...

Dawnelle with long hair... (and Megan on her wedding day!!)

See... all curls! Isn't it fantastic?!

Sorry!

I would like to begin by addressing the fact that we have not updated our blog for almost a year... Sorry... okay now that's over with lets talk about life. Life is fantastic right now, it generally is, but here is why, school is out. Jonathan has to go back to school next Monday for I don't have to until September! That is five months that I will be out of school and I can't even tell you how excited I am about it! I get to work! Some people might think why in the world would she want to work for five months. Well if you had my job you wouldn't ask. I really enjoy my job. It's quite fun and I love the work. 

Reason 2 life is wonderful... Actually can I interject here and tell you what just happened to me? So yesterday was Saturday and I had nothing to do because school is out, so I cleaned... EVERYTHING!! I think that I did 6 loads of laundry. One of the things that I washed was all the rugs in my house. They are now all over the place drying. So I have a  wet rug on the back of the computer chair. When I sat down at the computer I thought, don't lean back, you'll get your shirt really wet. I have been really good so far, until just now... and now the back of my shirt is very wet... Anyway...

Reason 2 life is wonderful... the weather is FANTASTIC! It is so beautiful today! The sky is blue, the air is warm, there is not too much wind. It really is an absoluetely beautiful day. Perfect for this Easter Sunday. 

Reason 3 life is wonderful... In two weeks I get to go on a trip with some of my best friends, including my mother to Atlanta. Now, I know some will roll their eyes will reading this but we get to go to the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) as well as High Point Market (one of the biggest furniture shows in the world) and to the Biltmore in Ashville, NC (the largest residence in the country). I am quite excited! It is going to be marvelous!

Reason 4 life is wonderful... I have nothing pressing to do. I can actually sit here an update my blog because there really is not anything terribly important for me to be doing this morning. Church doesnt start until 1pm so I still have atleast an hour before I really have to get ready. 

Okay, now I am boring everyone so I will be going... but I promise to update soon!! Happy Easter everyone!

School

Well I am sitting here at school right now thinking about this semester and what is going on in the life of everyone...So I was thinking...Things are kind of crazy right now, but what would my life be if there was no crazy and insane moments to cover throughout the day? I think that it would be just a very mundane kind of life with nothing really to look forward to...Anyways, so I have this class taught by a Harvard Business School professor. He is really cool and I love the class that I am taking. (Except the whole fact that i have to read a 20-30 page case study before every class and analyze it) but other then that...the class is wonderful and I am learning a ton! I guess its really cool to take a class taught at Harvard and really start to understand what Grad School is going to be all about. I am quite excited....anyways....I thought that I would write something to make Dawnelle happy...but I have to go to accounting now and learn all about oppotunity cost, revenues, cash flow charts and everything else silly accountants do!
