I'm Famous

I may not work for BYU anymore, but I'm still famous. Here is what is posted all over BYU now from my photo shoot back in October. It's definitely not the most flattering pic they had to choose from, but I'll take it. I mean, c'mon...what about this o...

On the bright side, it's above ZERO today.

So, Mama G had the audacity to send me a photo of February in Sonoma County, California. It's gorgeous. I'm pretty sure she lives in the Garden of Eden, or something. So, anyway, I was on the phone with her last week sometime and she was describing to me what she sees when she looks out her back windows. I looked out my office window and told her that outside the window there was, what could only be described as, snow dunes. Exactly like sand dunes,...

Cue Valentine's Day

Current Weather: 15 degrees and fair, feels like 5.After a successful week in Ohio, it was a happy day to come home to the hub. He met me at the airport his hands full with a dozen roses and a 52 ounce Diet Mt. Dew (what can I say, the man knows the way to my heart). When we got to the car with my luggage, I was greeted by two happy little "pupsicles" in the car. They were so happy to see me...and I was happy to see them.He then proceeded to take...

Oh, hi O.

I have made it halfway through my first week of install training. Things have been going really well. The "students" are learning and lot and are full of questions about the software and how it effects their fundraising efforts. My supervisor has let me take over as the lead trainer a few times and I have felt pretty good about things. I've got notes for myself on how to improve in the future.Yesterday it started to snow. It snowed quite a bit...but...

Sleep Tight

So, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Kent, Ohio. I've got a HUGE bed, sparkling clean bathroom, 78 channels of television and double-locks on the doors. I'm sitting in bed when I notice a friendly sign on the night table. It says:My mind first thinks, seriously? I don't think they can just GIVE you ambien. And I read on. they list soft and firm pillows, specialty pillows (what does that mean?), eye masks, ear plugs, and... Psh. I'm never going home....

1 Car, 2 Jobs, and a Business Trip

Well, the Passat has gone to that place where all of our cars seem to eventually go. Is there a car heaven? I'm pretty sure there's not. I may or may not be living in car hell, however. This is the third car to "give up the ghost" since we got married 2 and a half short years ago. So, we are doing our best to just live with one car right now. One rear-wheel drive car. In Fargo, North Dakota. Gutsy, eh?Geoff started his new job on Monday! He's working...

A Model Apartment?

No, really, my apartment was a model. Last Thursday, our landlord asked us if we would let them take photos of our apartment for the website. The current photos were pretty outdated and they wanted to update them with our place. We, of course, said sure! We had to run out and pick up a few final items to get the apartment ready for its photo op (i.e. curtain rod and a shower curtain). When our photos (if ever) get posted to the website I'll post...
