In my last post I talked about the stars aligning. I really thought we were moving to St. George. It has been an interesting weekend to say the least. After arriving in St. George we checked in to the hotel and I changed and went to Velocity’s office to chat with Dan Purcell, the owner. He introduced me to everyone in the office and gave me a tour. It was a far cry from Neutron we’re have a very flashy office and everyone has a...

Today I turned 36. It was an awesome birthday. For starters, we got an offer on our house. They offered $474,000 with virtually no concessions. They asked for our riding lawn mower in the offer, but we couldn’t give that to them because it isn’t ours. We are borrowing it from Ken. Other than that everything looked good so we accepted. If all goes as planned we should get about $125,000 in equity to put toward our next home. They want...

Yesterday on the way home from work I got a call from David Malpas. The Malpas family just moved out of our ward about a month and a half ago and moved down to St. George. He said now they want to come back to Utah County. He said he heard that we wanted to move down there and asked if we would be interested in looking at their house. He sent me some photos. It is a very nice house. It was a model home in that area and has lots of upgrades...

We spent the weekend at my parents house for UBIC. It was always my favorite time of year growing up. I think our kids really enjoy it as well. They especially love the parade. They catch so much candy and frisbees and toys. Nolan kept saying he “hit the jackpot” It was also fun to see old friends. I ran into quite a few who stopped and chatted with me. I saw my old friend Davey who I haven’t been very great at keeping in touch...

I had physical therapy this morning so I decided to drive in to work since I was pretty late as it was. Traffic was bad. When I finally got into work I realized I forgot my laptop. I had to drive back to Thanksgiving Point & Rachel met me with my laptop. I finally started working around 11:45 am.  I would have just worked from home but I set an appointment at the U of U to measure my body fat in their Bod Pod. I was 18.9% body fat. I...

I started a low-carb diet a few month ago. I was very strict for about the first 3 weeks. I’ve been less strict since then but I’ve continued to lose weight I started at about 235 lbs. This morning I was down to 214.2. I’ve now lost over twenty lbs. My goal was to get to 220 lbs, but I’ve slowly kept losing about 1-2 lbs per week. Tonight we went to Kohl’s and got some new clothes as my clothes are getting a bit...
