Well, as of Thursday Feb 26th 2009 I am officially receiving a monthly wage. As many of you know it has been a struggle to get things squared away since we moved to the Great White North (okay, it's all in the eye of the beholder).
I'll be working as a project manager in Orem UT. The best part is I'll be doing it mostly from home. So I guess technically, I'm still a stay home dad but I'm getting paid to be on the computer instead of wasting my time on it.
I am always amazed at the lords tools of humility and patience that he is so quickly to pull out of his box to try to "fix" me. If you know me, you know it's gonna take alot more than that to put me together.
I am grateful for the opportunity and look forward to wearing another hat. I was starting to think I would never find one in my size. Thank goodness some are adjustable.

Friday, February 20, 2009
Well it's been a while since I last posted something here and I felt it might be time.
I'll start with some very sad news, Melissa's sister Rachael Mittleman Gleason died unexpectedly on Jan 1st 2009 (seen here on the far right). Rachael had been ill or under a doctors care for much of the time I knew her. She was a beautiful spirit and her passing has been a very hard experience for Melissa. Rachael leaves behind two children making her passing that more difficult.
The distance between Utah and our extended family in California has never been more noticeable. Rachael did leave behind a legacy of love and healing that is truly a gift for her family. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Having said that, I now turn another page in the book of our family. Our oldest daughter Kayleigh Faith, turned eight years old this past December. She was baptised on Jan 3rd 2009. Because of the excitement surrounding this blessed event, members of our family both here in Utah and California and many of our friends were able to attend.
She had been preparing herself and took extra time during the last year before the baptism to learn more about her religion, and the life and mission of her Savior Jesus Christ, and her relationship to her Father in Heaven.
We were so impressed by the outpouring of love and support for Kayleigh and our family. Over 40 family and friends attended and helped to make it a day Kayleigh will never forget.
