Crazy Couple of days!

So late Friday night, about 11:00pm something came up and we decided that we needed to go down to my parents house right away. We got everything packed and ready to go by about midnight, and then drove down here. We got in about 3am, and then had my little sister let us in so that we could surprise my parents in the morning. What we forgot in our sleep deprived brains was that the van was sitting in front of the house... oops :P. Yesterday we went to the theater out here and watched Catching Fire, it was pretty good. I am curious as to what happens...

New Layout Getting Set Up!

Hey everyone, I decided I would find a better layout, and I think that I like this one so far. What do you guys think?

I don't know if anything particularly exciting is going on this weekend, but Karen and I defiantly need some rest. Neither of us have been feeling very well lately. Oh, Also I...

All Registered for next semester!

I got my schedule filled up today for next semester, and the cool part about it is that they are all business classes. That will be fun, and a lot less walking! The business building is not on campus so this semester i have classes there and then back on campus.. maybe I am just lazy, but it does get tiring trying to get from that building to campus in 10 minuets!          Hmm.. What else is new, lets see.. Karen is still working on her dress for her sewing class. She has never really done any sewing before this semester...

Some things i have learned so far this semester. (social media/marketing)

Social Media has become of larger and larger importance in the world of marketing. I have been studying social media marketing this semester at Snow College in Utah. I have learned many things that I did not understand before taking these classes, but I decided that I was not going to just take what was being taught as a 100 percent truth. I decided to take things into my own hands, and see what does and does not work. There are a few things that I have personally learned through this process. One of the biggest things that I have found is that...

Good in the world article

This is a story that I found Very touching, It really amazes me with how bad some people are getting in the world these days that there are still some seeds of good. This Video shares the story of a very special thing that a school football team did for a friend of theirs with some special needs, and I think that everyone should see it. This is the good in the world story this week, if anyone has a personal story they want to share, or know of one in the media send it to me and I will consider putting it up on the blog. thanks E-mail: jay.fret...

Another day at Snow College

Today was a pretty good day. I am trying to learn how to edit sound files for my class project that is due tomorrow so that has been interesting. I really am not sure how the programs work I am going to have to look up some more how to videos online before tomorrow night i think. We found out our neighbors are "cooking weeds" not as in the drug, but as in actual weeds that are being cooked by the steam that comes out of the vent by their house. Karen was nice enough to point out what they were doing, and it took her a minuet to realize why it came...

There still is good in the world

Tonight my wife and I ran to walmart to get some bread, milk, and a couple other basic food items to get us through this week. As we were going to through the check out line tonight I went to scan my card, and it didn't work for some reason. I thought that was strange and I tried scanning it a few more times and it still wasn't working right. So the person at the check out said they could hold our things for us while we figure out whats going on. We walked over to the side and pulled up my phone to check our bank account and try and figure out...
