I attended a Utah Django User’s Group meeting tonight. Generally they are held in south Provo so I haven’t bothered to go. Tonight’s was held at Kynetx at Thanksgiving Point. It was fun. Someone gave presention on jQuery/Ajax/JSON/Django. It’s interesting to see how others make use of technologies. I also met some people I only knew online.

I went to the temple this morning. I have a goal to go at least 50 times this year. That is once per week. I missed last week because I was sick. We have started having "special nights" with the kids. Once a month Rachel or I will take a child out to spend one on one time. Tonight it was Nolan’s turn with me. We went to Wendy’s for dinner (his choice) then went to Wal-Mart so he could use his Christmas money from Grandma...

So my life is not quite exciting as Brandon’s. I haven’t packed up my family and moved to another country. But my life is still eventful. I thought I would take some time to look back on 2010 to see what I have done. Celebrated 10 years of happy marriage. Had our fourth child. Baptized & confirmed my oldest daughter. Blessed our fourth son. Remodeled master bathroom. Threw up blood. Had my first stay in ICU. Had two scopes down...

Everyone has been so kind and thoughtful since my emergency and later surgery to remove the tumor. It has been 3 weeks since surgery. I am healing well. Today after church, sister Kemeny came by with two 14 year old boys in the ward. She teaches the 14 year olds in Sunday School. They brought me a card, some cookies and some banana bread. She works in the temple and said she puts my name on the prayer roll every day. She is not the first to tell...

Last night I started to write a blog post on DavisVillage.com just to give all my friends and family a complete update of what has happened the past month and how I am now. It turned into a novel and took me probably over 2 hours to write & edit.  I then posted a status update on facebook and invited those interested to read it. I was overwhelmed at all the comments on got on facebook and our blog today. I wasn’t really looking or...

(I posted the following on our family blog) So a lot has been going on with our family lately. When some asks, “what’s new?” It’s hard to say “not much.” We’ve certainly had our trials and experiences lately, but first and foremost I just wanted to say THANK YOU to our family and friends who have expressed concern, offered help, and continue to enquire about how things are going. The reason I decided to write this post is to tell...

After dinner tonight I took Gracie & Gehrig with me and we drove around the neighborhood returning dishes and dropping off thank you notes that Rachel had written. It was fun for the kids and I am grateful for all those who have helped us.
