Warning: Longest Post Ever!!
Having finally chosen a suitable background, I figure I ought to catch everyone up! I have to be honest. Being sick has its advantages. Aside from feeling like you want to die, the chance to stay home from work and get a few things done has been such a great thing for me! Even if I haven't left bed in three days, I feel like for the first time in a while I am rested and will be able to face whatever I am dealt this week. However, don't hold me to that!! We will see what Wednesday does to me!
Starting this is a bit of an adventure for me, because I feel really far away from everyone! So this is really cool for me to be able to write all the dumb little happenings of our lives for all those who would never know about them to read! May I emphasize that I don't actually expect anyone to read my ramblings as much as it is supposed to make a great journal! So for anyone that doesn't already know, here are a few basics.
Husband: Jared, aka Jar, J-Dawg, K-fed, or Jerry
Occupation: Financial Advisor, Redstone Financial Group, Partner, just passed the Series 7 Test on his first try!
Age: Approaching 30, which is going to be HUGE! Currently collecting ideas for surprises... feel free to contribute!
Hobbies: Mountain Biking in the summer, Volleyball whenever possible, Basketball on Saturdays, closet Rollerblader, Longboarding, Wakeboarding when we can weasel our way onto a boat, weekend Hiking, Snowboarding, Saucing (a specific form of sledding involving a sled that offers no control), and checking anything BYU related on a regular basis.
Favorite Food: Changes daily and impossible to predict.
Wife: Stacey, aka Stae, Ms. Stacey, really anything but Stace.
Occupation: Spanish Teacher, Piano Teacher, and aspiring writer (:
Age: 26, and that is being honest. Sadly, it feels like that is really old!
Hobbies: Reading books that have no value and require no thought, Running in a useless effort to lose weight, Tennis, Volleyball, learning Piano pieces that I will never perform, and continuously being shown up by Jared at all things athletic! I have won once in our marriage at tennis... take note!
Favorite Food: All things a 15 year old boy would love. Homemade pizza, pasta, sandwiches, and a seriously delicious Steak. It is a wonder I need to lose a few pounds!
Other Family Members: Booker, our 9 month old Boxer, who is our life and love, and who sat on my bed for 5 hours straight with me to keep me company while I coughed, sniffled and burned with a fever. I love him!!
That out of the way, I can't wait to get better and be on my feet again. Undoubtably this bug will leave, and when it does, life will go back to work, work, WORK!! I will miss not feeling rushed! Until next time!

Hey this is fun! What a nice picture of your family. You look great! If Booker were my pet, I would be such a sucker to his begging. He's got the cutest eyes!
ReplyDeleteBeing sick is the worst... I'm glad you had good company at least! You COULD perform your piano pieces... for me. And then maybe I could get myself to start practicing too. You forgot food storage on your list of hobbies! (Ha ha about reading books that have no value and take no thought... I do my share of that too.)
