4 Months later

Well not too much has been going on since I last wrote. This is probably why I never wrote. I have been waiting for Amber to update something but I guess what I say she says also. Last time I wrote I was working at BD Medical in Sandy UT and I’m still there. I think that I have been there for about 8 months and enjoying my time there. I have become the specialist at GPC analysis and if you ever want to know about Molecular weights and Molecular numbers I am always happy to explain the theory of it.

Before we left for Hawaii I spent some time with my best friend Brien in St. Louis. I hadn't spent anytime hanging out with him so I decided that since I went out there with him I should visit before he came home. Brien was graduating from St. Louis University with a PhD in Psychology. I had a great time catchup on a lot of stuff and just hanging out. We were able to see a lot of the sights and also a Cardinals baseball game.



Amber and I spent some time in Hawaii with Steve, Clarice, Jen, Chad and the kids. It was a lot of fun to be there with her family. One morning we all decided to go to the beach and I asked Ava if she was excited to go to Makapuu and she said “That sounds pooie” and she didn’t want to go. We had a great time with the kids and the family. Hopefully we can do it again another time with more kids. The only negative of the trip was no TV. We didn’t have TV so we went to bed early and got up early.



This is our Friend Paul Santos. We ran into him at Boots and Kimo. We found out that he worked in movies and TV shows on the Island and he invited us to the set of LOST. Well he told us to come around Midnight to Wainie. Well we showed up and I'm sure that he really didn't think that we would show. We got pictures with him before we left and we also got T-Shirts saying that we were part of the film crew.



Steve's friend Frank took us out on a yacht around part of the Island. The ride was great but we didn't see any dolphins.



When we got home I started school at the University of Utah in Material Science and Engineering. I thought that since I work with Polymers and enjoy it I should pursue more education towards that subject. Today was my last day of classes and I’m getting ready for finals. This semester has been really hard with working full time and going to school part time. I have classes that start at 11:00 and I go until 3:30. I drive about 75 miles a day in the car driving to work, school, work and back home. Luckily Steve was nice enough to let me borrow his Saturn with the tow bar just in case I need a tow.

I think that is all the excitement for now. Amber is at the church setting up for the Christmas Party. Hope you enjoy the blog and sorry for the long delay. Hopefully next semester I will be able to find some time to write more for our avid readers.
