Nebo, job, Wesley, and school...

I haven't done this in a while--so I guess I'm overdue for an update. I'll make it quick. Jenny mentioned the Timp hike. It was awesome. It's a beautiful mountain. Mark and I, Amy and Kelly couldn't get enough of hiking, so we decided to take on Mt. Nebo which is even taller. The trailhead is by Nephi just up the canyon a ways. (HINT: don't enter the Nebo loop from Payson like we did!) We got started on the hike late (bad Internet directions) so never made it to the top but we'll be back before Winter to take care of that. Anyway, I'll try to upload a few of the pics from that and place them on this blog and on a Facebook photo album.

I'm still working at Directpointe. It's been a little over a year. I don't know if I mentioned that I'm an onsite tech there now. So I got promoted but didn't get a raise which to me doesn't really make sense. Jenny and I are pretty bummed about that. I'm kinda looking for something better in pay and benefits--Omniture, Alpine School district (onsite tech), and other places but we'll just have to see. I had an interview with Alpine and the pay and benefits are way better, so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Wesley took his first step about 4 days ago! We're so excited. He doesn't do it much and gets tired but he can officially step now. Won't be long before he's walking everywhere. He got started a month earlier than Michelangelo. He's about 13 months old now.

So school is starting up on the 27th of Aug. It's bittersweet for me. The summer has been a nice break for me but it's time to get back into it I guess. I have 12 credits starting up, 3 computer classes and 1 tough class--Macroeconomics--Yikes! But one computer class that I'm excited about is Computer Forensics. Plus I didn't even have to do anything and now I'm a University student!!! Go UVU!!!

Well, I'm done. Until next time--I'll try not to wait so long before my next entry.

Hey, this is Justin's cousin Holly. I somehow found Mandie's blog and through hers I found yours! It's fun to see how your kids are growing and changing. You guys have been really busy with hikes and such. It looks like you have had a lot of fun together as a family. If you want to see our family's blog I could send you an invite (it's invite only.) My older sister Angela has a really cute blog too if you are interested. I like keeping up with my cousins in some small way and blogs are a super way to do it! Send me an email at thegoodwoman@gmail.com if you'd like an invite to my blog and let me know if you have any desire to see Angela's and I'll let her know too. Oh, and if you could, delete this comment after you read it so the whole world doesn't have access to my email! I didn't know how else to contact you about this.
