We finally have internet that works...

     Since UtahWISP (Nate's Business) was sold, the internet didn't get any better, so we finally got Comcast. It's not quite as sweet as Free but it screams just as fast.

     Here are some pictures from today: Easter egg hunts with both sides of the family.  And some random photo's of our new home.

Death Bed

Being ill with somthing is never fun, I think it get's worse as you get older because you have little kids running around poking you and making noise, as compared to being a child, often times it's much more quiet and your mom is always standing by to take care of you. Lori does a fabulous job of taking care of the kids and I when we're sick, but I think this week has taken a tole on her, she's heavy.. very heavy with child, and the twins require alot of her energy throughout the day as well, as this has been the sickest I've every been in my life, I'm sure I'm a bear to please. By now she's probably wishing I hadn't sold my business, as I have nothing to occupy all my precious time with. Anyhow- Thanks for all you do and put up with Lori, I love you.

Internet

ok, lori has been bugging me almost dailey now about the Internet which hasnt worked since
we moved to our new home, pretty sad since I have owned and operated an Internet company for
the last 4 years or so. But not anymore- we were bought out this last week, the crappy
part is that I haven't realy been able to celebrate as I've been on or near what
has felt like my death bed for almost an entire week now with somthing called prostitus- a dreadfully
painful bacterial infection of the prostate- I know what your thinking- that's somthing that only realy old people get, not so. And to top it off- I made a visit to IHC instacare early in the week, as I sat waiting, I started getting realy hot plus the room began to spin, I felt like i was gonna spew, so I stood up to make my way to the lou (bathroom) the last thing I remember i hear some old man yell- "he's having a seizure (not sure if that is the correct spelling) help!" I open my eyes and realize that I am lying on the floor in the waiting room, and the doc and a couple nurses are runnig toward me with a wheelchair, askming me all sorts of questions, Not sure what happened, I must have fainted, but it got me in to the doc nice and quick. So the next time your waiting to see the doc, just faint and you'll move right up in line.

Enough about me- Lori is due the end of April and we are having a man child as Steph would say.
that's it for now, as it's a pain blogging from an iPhone. I'm out

Time...

Lori was asking the other day how to get back into the blog to update it, as it's been quite a long while since we have posted anything. And allot has happened over the course of that past 6 months. If you don't take the time to stay up on things, time can get the best you.

Time is an interesting concept. As children we wait and wait in anticipation for Christmas to come, or for school to be over for summer break. As the years go by, it seems to me and I'm sure to most that time is going by at an alarming rate, days are becoming a few hours, weeks a few days... and on and on. The clock is ticking.

Dallas, Texas

Down Town Dallas

I'm wrigting this post because somhow I screwed up the blog and Lori had an entire posting for our visit to Dallas which was erased.-Nate

We had been planning this trip for months, and it was finally time. We flew out on Friday the 20th. We were talking to the gentlemen next to us on the plain and we was telling us about all the sites to see. Dallas was like nothing we expected, it was very big, very flat and very green.

As soon as we picked up our rental we drove straight to Haley and Eric's place, after visting with Haley and Zion for a bit (Eric was working) We decided to head up to Steph and Dan's. We were pretty hungry so we decided to stop at Burger Street. Nate ended up having lengthy conversation with the Manager, once he told the gentlemen that we were from Utah, born and raised Mormon, the man wouldn't have it, he kept saying " nah.. nah.. you ain't Mo'men" Nate continued to insist that we were. His perception of what Mormons are must have been alot different from how we looked.

Plus Texas is chuck full of Water Towers, ever city seemed to have several of them, this is a picture in Dan and Stephs neighborhood in McKinney. You can see one of the McKinney Water Towers in teh distance.

McKinney has the Tallest Communications tower I had ever seen, it must have been at least 200' if not taller.

Dan and Steph were kind enough to let us stay with them in their new home. It was wonderful to wake up everymorning and see Locke aka lil'dan kicking it on the couch with his blanky and a sippy cup watching TV, while the rest of us were either sleeping or trying to wake up.

We spent almost an entire day in Downtown Dallas- From the grassy knowl where JFK was shot, the West end and then up the 55 stories to the top of Reunion Tower. The only way to see Dallas.

It was awesome to get away and spend time with Dan, Steph, Rob and Haley and Eric. Dallas woudn't be a bad place to live, we'll see what happens in the next year.
