I did not pick BYU to win the 1st round game this year--not as a lack of faith, but superstition. They have lost every game that I have watched, and every game that I have picked them to win. Therefore, I thought it might be best, for the team, if I picked Florida. Right now, it looks like my plan worked. 8 minutes left, BYU is dominating.

It's That Time of Year... No, Not Christmas

Okay, Everyone print out the bracket and email it to me, or email me your predictions for each round. Kim won the first year, dad the second. Who will take the crown this year?
The first picture is what the bracket looks like, but the second one (sideways) prints better on the page. Just click on the second picture and after it pulls up the picture, right-click and hit print. Remember that it is much more fun when everyone plays.
Also, make sure you pick a winner for the game on the middle-right of the page (Arkansas-PB vs Winthrop) as that is a play-in game for Duke.
Emily will give a kiss to the winner (I know she's not a vixen like Maid Marion but...)

Hey just letting everyone know that I just put some pictures on my blog so feel free to look. Hope all is well with the family. We are getting a little warmer around here after the four inches of snow that we got (and the entire city shut down). It is funny to think about everything shutting down for a few inches of snow but they aren't used to it around here so don't have the equipment to help with the roads and the ice. Anyway just plugging along and we did find out that we are having a boy for those of you who don't know yet. Love you all!!

....I'm dumb...

the posts are in reverse order, so hopefully you still get those feel good sensations, even if you have to read them like a person of an oriental nature. don't worry, it doesn't make you a communist... i checked to make sure.

...And you thought it was over

I'm just trying to make up for the sins of no pictures from my mission. indulgences weren't an option, trust me, i tried.

but wait... theres more

the Immaculate picture post

just yesterday i realized that i have the capability to put pictures from my camera on the computer. unfortunately that came about two months after my memory card broke and erased all memories from the first eighteen months of my mission. i will attempt to put the pictures of most of my companions and the two baptisms i have pictures of up. also included is snowy michigan city,(the snow pile is much larger now) and my panda blanket that keeps me warm at night. it's too much effort to actually say who everyone is, but the kid with black hair and eyebrows is the one from dougs ward in boise. thanks for listening.

Pretty Funny

They all didn't fit!

Some pics I dug up . . .

Okay this post is really from me....
