For All Eternity

We did it. What was bound on earth is now bound in heaven.

November 28 2009 was the most beautiful day I could have ever asked for. The sun was shining, I was surrounded by people who love me, and I was sealed to the one I love more than anything else.

Once again my sister is the best and took some beautiful pictures.

Now I hope that I can continue to make him as happy as we were today

Victory over Cancer

I have an amazing sister. For the second year in a row she has rode in the Little Red Riding Hood bike tour. This is a group of 2600 women that peddle a bike for 80 miles. She is amazing.


She started in Wellsville UT and half way took her to Lewiston UT, where they are given lunch and a little rest. (not long, you don't want to start cramping up). Then back on the road, weaving through Cache Valley back to Wellsville.

Huntyr did not like the wolf - He was scared

And she is off

Lucky for me my house sits on 600 S in Logan that is the rode that is the long stretch for her. I told her to tell me when she was at the pit stop in Benson so that I could start watching for her to come by. This year Rog waited out on the street with me so that I didn't feel like the $2.00 whore I was last year. I did get one cat call (thanks Charee). She was tired when she got to my street but only stopped long enough to blow her nose. Then she was off again

Here she is for her stop passing by my house

Catching a last drink before she is off again

We headed to Wellsville shortly after she left our house she only had 16 miles left. Once in Wellsville Rog and I waited with Josh and Huntyr for her to cross the finish line.

She did it in 2 1/2 hours faster than last year.

Way to go Pookie, thanks for riding for my "Victory over Cancer"


She crosses the finish line


And gets Lai'd with Flowers

Today I Will Make A Difference

I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful.

I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters.

I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark.

Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four hours that are before me. Time is a precious commodity. I refuse to allow what little time I have to be contaminated by self-pity, anxiety, or boredom.

I will face this day with the joy of a child and the courage of a giant.

I will drink each minute as though it is my last. When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever. While it is here, I will use it for loving and giving.

Today I will make a difference.I will not let past failures haunt me. Even though my life is scarred with mistakes, I refuse to rummage through my trash heap of failures. I will admit them. I will correct them. I will press on. Victoriously.

No failure is fatal. It's OK to stumble...I will get up. It's OK to fail...I will rise again.

Today I will make a difference.

I will spend time with those I love. My spouse, my children, my family. A man can own the world but be poor for the lack of love. A man can own nothing and yet be wealthy in relationships.

Today I will spend at least five minutes with the significant people in my world. Five quality minutes of talking or hugging or thanking or listening. Five undiluted minutes with my mate, children, and friends.

Today I will make a difference.

I think if we all thought that this on a daily basis we would be much happier people.

It's been so long

Man I can't believe how long it has been since I posted last. I hope you all liked the little exercise of leaving me your email address; however I have decided for the time being not to go private. For now I will just try and catch up, and see if by any chance I can stay caught up. LOL

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.
