Greetings

Hello Everybody,

I'm not sure how successful this blog will be but something my 10 year class reunion coming up has me feeling a bit nostalgic and I'm temporarily in the mood to try my creative talents on the web. I am also starting to feel like I am getting boring so hopefully this blog will give me motivation to try new things. Most likely this blog will be taken over by Cherie and I will become a passive bystander like I noticed most of my male friends seem to be on their family blogs.

Just a quick update on my family. Cherie and I are have been living in Jerome for the last two years (as a Burley grad I must say I am not proud to be living north of the river but at least it is not Minico). I work in Twin Falls as a CPA at a local accounting firm. I enjoy helping others run their business becuase so far I have not been creative enough to create my own business. Cherie stays home and chases after Bridgelynn 3 and McKinzie 1 their birthdays are two days apart. For those of you wondering where the name Bridgelynn came from I thought the name Bridge Adams for a boy sounded pretty good and masculine but we had a girl so we added the lynn. I am sure she will hate us for it later.

Cherie also stays busy serving as second counselor in the Primary Presidency and I have recently been released from Young Men's president and am now the Financial secratary. Considering that I spend all dayat work counting money it was inevitable that I would be asked to count it on Sunday as well. I do miss the young men but considering I only had one priest and no money to do anything with anyways I wasn't too disappointed to leave.

Ten years after graduating High School I am still in school. I am taking my final class this fall to complete my Master's in Accountancy with emphasis on Taxation degree. This will be my third degree. I got two bachelor's degrees and I was two classes shy of a third one before I came to my senses and decided the Master's would be more valuable. I do take great pride of being a Boise State Alum. Just like I take great pride in being a Burley Bobcat but the difference is that Boise State has the best football team in the area. I doubt there are more than a very tiny handful of my friends whose football team has even beaten BSU in the last ten years and unless they went to WSU, Boston College, Georgia, or Washington I know they don't have a winning record against BSU. There will probably be several entries where I brag somemore about the football team as the season goes on. The scary thing is after my mission to Russia I actually tried to transfer to BYU. Fortunately they denied me and my fall Saturday's have been blissful ever since. Including BSUs 2-o record over BYU in football and 2-1 record over BYU in recent years. For those of you who take the stance that education is more important than sports that is only true if you want to get a good job in a big city. Since my goal was to get a job in the Magic Valley, I can't think of a single company in the valley that cares where you went to school as long as you get a degree, and can show that you know what you are doing, so the quality of the education was low on my priority list.

Well this post has been going on long enough but I tend to be long winded so when I do post they will most likely be long so get used to it.
