Lovin Life

Hey everyone,

Hope all are doing well. Sorry I haven't been calling much, but I've been a little 'taken' this last week. Got back into Provo last week and called up Connie's mother for a little help. Needed some bedding, towels, and stuff I couldn't pack. So I went over there Sunday night and hung out looking at pictures with her mother, and playing with Con's niece and nephew. We all went to the zoo the next day (Her mother, sister, niece, and nephew), here's a picture of me with her niece Tapanga. After the zoo we had a family Memorial Day BBQ. Lots of family, lots of fun.

Hung out with the family a lot before Connie finally came back on Wednesday. We all went to the airport to see her, Tiffanie and Todd (sis and bro-in-law) arrive. This picture has most everyone. Left-right: Tapanga, Tiff, Todd, baby Matthew, Candice, One good lookin guy, The love of my life, Merlin's head, Terra, and Cousin Sara. Merlin and Candice are married as well as Tiff and Todd. Terra's husband Andy was not there.

We had a variety of signs ready for their return, but I'm thinkin mine was the best. Lucky for me I found a 'Taker.'





So for the past week we've just been hanging out and playing a bunch with the family. Candice and her family live in Idaho and were down for the week. So it was like one giant party everyday. Enjoyed a fun family picnic, trips to the mall, and non-stop joking about Sugi being the next brother-in-law. Her sister's ganged up on me one afternoon telling me all the do's and don'ts about finding a ring and getting engaged. I think Connie was much more embarrased than I. One of the neatest parts of the weekend was standing in on the blessing of baby Matthew. He was given a name and blessing on Sunday, and they asked me to be apart of it. That was the first time I had ever done that; really cool.

Things are going well. Haven't picked a job yet, but hopefully this week I'll know. Just having fun and enjoying life at the moment.

I'm with Annette. She's totally right. I guess I'm confused with all of your plans. I thought the hat and tux were for other plans. Dad was on top of this one and knew your plans. I was out of the loop. You look great in the hat. I'm sure it worked like a charm. Keep us all up to date. We love it.
