A lot has changed since I last wrote. On the 11th (which was one year from the day that I had my cancer surgery), we were called into a mandatory meeting at work. In that meeting we were basically told that our department was all terminated effective the end of the day, and starting the next day we would be employees of ZenPrint, if we chose to do so. It was a no-brainer really. The choice was to keep getting a paycheck or not. I think they...

I played softball with Cade last night. During a play as I was running to second as the other team was going for a double play, I veered right to avoid collision, just as I did, the short stop leaped out into me thinking I was going to slide or something. I’m pretty sure I took the worst of it. I was dazed as I was getting up. His chin hit my head and his knee or something got my quad just above the knee. I had blood all over my shirt from...

When I got home from work today I went outside and played with Nolan and Brinley on the Zip line. We ended up playing for about an hour outside. It made for a late dinner. After dinner we had family home evening. I talked to the kids about telling the truth. I have caught them lying to me a lot lately so we just wanted to emphasize the importance of telling the truth and owning up to mistakes.

We read scriptures tonight. It has been a while and we have gotten out of the habit of it. Come to think of it I don’t know if we have even tried since moving in this house. I’m hoping we can get back in the habit because I really think it helps.

Since buying a Mac for home use I’ve wanted to switch at work as well. Another employee quit about a month ago so there has been a Mac Pro sitting idle. I got permission to switch to using it. Today I got it all set up at my desk. It’s nice to have consistency again. A month ago I was using Windows 7 at home, Ubuntu at work, and Mac OS X on my laptop. Now it is all OS X.

Bishop is out of town so I didn’t have any extra meetings today. It was nice sleeping in a little bit (I got to stay in bed until about 8:30 when Murphy finally forced me out of bed). The I got ready and went to church with the family. Unfortunately I lost my temper a few times tonight after church. I lost it with Gehrig when he kept talking back to Rachel and telling her no when she would ask him to do something. I later when and...

We started a point system about a month ago at work as sort of a reward and competition to increase performance in our sprints. I tied for the win two weeks ago. This sprint I won by a landslide. This has brought out the competitive nature in me. Bruce said that he would give a $100 gift card to anyone that wins the trophy 2 weeks in a row. Looks like I’ll be getting a gift card next week!
