Tonight after the kids went to bed, Rachel and I watched the last lesson of Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University course. It was the lesson on giving and tithing. I think it is my favorite lesson because that is the place I want to be most. I would love to have so much wealth that it would allow me to give much more. I have a feeling that some day I will be at that point.

When I took the job in Salt Lake with SendOutCards, I figured I would start playing Ultimate Frisbee again with the group from 3M in Murray. When I started working last week I was a bit disappointed because we didn’t have a shower in the building. Today I found a shower. It was there all along really. Our bathroom is pretty small really. There is a door in there. I figured it was just a janitors closet. Today when I went in the restroom...

Today someone at work suggested going out to eat for indian food. I thought it would be fun to go out with the guys for lunch. I’m not a big fan of indian food, but it was fun. Mike, our boss came along too. After the meal he ended up paying for everyone, which was a nice surprise too.

Today was a special Sunday. There were no block meetings for church. Instead, members were encouraged to get recommends for the dedication of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I loved the focus they put on it. There were two sessions in our stake – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Rachel’s parents went to the 9 AM session so they could watch our kids as we went to the 3 PM session. It was a great experience. I have been to three dedications now and they...

At 10:00 we drove in to Murray to purchase the car I was looking at. I was able to get a 2000 Nissan Maxima for with 83K miles for only $4000. The reason it was so cheap is because it was a salvage title. The back of the car was hit. The air bags were never deployed though. I took it in to the Nissan dealership yesterday to have them look it over and they said it looked structurally sound so I decided to go ahead with the purchase. I’ve...

I got to know some of the guys I work with a little better today. After work we went to the movies. We watched G.I. Joe. It was fun. I sat with Mike today and we worked on fixing some bugs. It was good to get to know the system a little better and spend some time doing that rather that reading manuals or doing tutorials.
