Here's to you and strawberry cheesecake. :)



Now its a run and off to work!

Feeling the Sunshine

I can't believe that June is coming to a close! Summer is flying by!

The other day, actually yesterday morning, I started out with the best intentions, but ended up digging my self a hole to the underworld. A woman came into the store looking for staples for her staple gun. She needed in between 6.3mm to 7.9mm, or so I thought...
Turned out that the staples i got her were .3mm too long, so after driving home, she came back to the store and we tried a 7mm staple and that proved to be worse. It got jammed in the gun, and i succeeded in ripping my nails apart on the unscrew-able screws.
This poor lady left three or four times from the store. On the third time when she left and came back she just caved and bought a bran new stapler, with the wrong staples...again.
So, tossing my hands in the air, wanting to be sucked into a black hole, I got her the right staples and sent her on her way. Don't worry I gave her the staples free.
She was real sweet through the whole experience, and said she would come back.
What a way to start a Monday, at least I sold her the new staple gun right?

This week I read an awesome book, mind you it was another children's book, its called: I wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff, Illustrated by David Catrow.



Its pretty much the best.

By the way, Keith Urban rocks.




I'm glad this isn't my dog

New Adventures Afoot!

Exciting things are coming to my life! I love how life takes sudden and unexpected turns.

My wife just said: "I don't ever imagine it being cold enough to wear a jacket ever again."
Just thought that was funny.

Anyways, as some of you may already know, Megan has found a job at West Point Elementary School as a part-time morning Kindergarten Teacher. She interviewed and received the job in the same day, I believe only three hours apart. She also received two other job offers at the same time. But something told both of us this was the job for her.



As for me, I am currently filling out my BYU application for admissions and persuing a degree in Industrial Design! I never thought I would be excited to go to BYU, but stranger things have happened..... Maybe.
By the way for those who aren't familiar, Industrial Design is the Art of Engineering. The engineers make the product, its functional, we the Industrial Designists make it look awesome!
Don't worry UofU fans that are my friends, my blood is red through and through.

Does anyone remember who their Kindergarten teacher was?

The other day I was craving a good sci-fi read, yeah I know I'm a nerd. So I went and check out the original Star Wars books, they pretty much rock, I recommend it to any sci-fi lover.

Its summer finally, the weather is hot, I'm reading books like crazy, Megan and I are working our tails off, and I have a constant image of poplar trees next to golden wheat fields.

Has anyone read "There's an Owl In The Shower!"
I read it in elementary and loved it, if you haven't, do it!



And for my last thought of the day, I'm taking (almost) private lessons from sculptor Mike Call, Wednesday nights. I had my first class and it was amazing!
I realized two things: Mike Call is amazing and makes scuplting look like child's play and I suck at scuplting, I have a lot to learn.


This was a piece done by him, he is incredible.

Libraries

Who wouldn't want to work among thousands and thousands of words over hundreds of years old? Especially when your shelving them and the row is already smashed with them. Then when you finally fit the dang book into the shelf, the whole thing explodes and comes crashing down on you. When that happens all I can do is laugh, except I don't have a quiet laugh, so its not a library laugh, so I end up echoing from one end of the building to the other.

I'm probably the loudest employee the Davis County Library system has ever hired. Lets try not to rock the boat or anything. :)

The best part of my job is that I get to read bits and pieces of books as they come through my hands and onto the shelf. Its like having a continuous Thanksgiving feast infront of you and you get to pick and choose what you want to eat, every day and get paid for it!!!! :)

So while on the topic of books, what is your favorite one, or two or three?

Right now mine is Star Dust by Neil Gaiman. Its an enjoyable read.

The other day I saw someone walking this rat/dog thing. It was cute, but it had a mustash and wicked looking eyebrows. It reminded me of those old black and white photos of the old cowboys that look all crusty and have the stubble.

I'm glad it wasn't my dog, if it was I'd have called it Billy the Kid.

When Somebody Loves You

Well world! Life has come down to the earth again, except I still feel this floating sensation all around me. Hmmm..... I rather like it.

Megan and I are settling in well. We have a beautiful apartment that looks out at the freeway and neighboring park. The sky is so blue and big when you come down to the edge of the foothills. :) I am deeply entrenched in working full time with both my jobs and Megan starts her crazy schedule of I think teaching 4 or 5 different classes at the Museum of Natural History tomorrow! I'm very excited for her, she is a wonderful teacher and I know that everyone taught by her will benefit from it.

Everyday I wake up to Megans beautiful face, and every night I got to be with her gentle breathing next to me. What more is there to life than that? Were getting use to the feeling of sharing a bed, but its comfort and a joy to roll over and see her face in the moonlight.

I thank God everyday for giving me an angel to spend my life with.

To grind and shift gears a bit here is an excerpt of something that might be featured on my blog:

I'D LIKE TO SMOOSH YOUR FACE INTO THE CARPET:
what not to do in customer service.
A child came up to me today and said,
"When I grow up I want to be an Artist!"
My responce was:
"Well you'll never make any money."

Thankfully that was just in my head, I just smiled and said, "Well you better have fun with that."


Isn't life just funny? One second you are at the top, looking down at everything and feeling like it couldn't get any better that where you are, then you get knocked of by the next person in line, tumble down the hill and have to start up yet another mountain.

Good thing the view is always better at the next mountain top, otherwise there wouldn't be any point to it all.

Our basement dweller has blue hair and two puppies, a boxer and a pitbull. He is a great person, but has been shorted a few brain cells. One dog is called DOG, the other I think is Daisy. They are both adorable and don't bark a lot.

I think he barks more than they do.

Thank goodness its not my dog.
