Easter came and went along with all of the spring yard work. Our yard is actually starting to look really good and in a month or so when all of the flowers are up and blooming I am sure it will be better. Lots of sweat goes into making it look good and sometimes I wonder why in the world be bought a house with such a big yard. (It is big to me, especially when I am mowing once a week)
On the 2nd of May my little brother Tyson married his sweetheart. We are so excited to have Brandy in our family. She is perfect match for Tyson. One week after their wedding they drove to Alaska to work for the summer. They are working in Denali and doing ATV tours through the park there. I call him often and wish he was home. I miss the dude.
Yesterday I finally got to see my dads twin brothers grave. He is buried in Ogden and I have asked my dad for years and years to take me and show me where he is buried. We went yesterday and it was really awesome for me. Brent was killed in the Vietnam War when he was twenty. I wrote a paper on him once for a college class that I had and after learning more about him I wanted to see where he was buried. Brent was 19 and heading to Washington DC to be a body guard for President Ford. Upon arriving in DC he was told by the president that he was needed in Vietnam, and when his tour was complete he would return to DC and work as a body guard for the President. Brent did make it back to DC but only as a name on the Memorial Wall. My next plan is for Rog and I to be able to go to DC and find his name there.
