January

Well, it is January now and it is getting colder and snowier. I am still out of work and right now I am looking for another construction job. I asked Jason Maylett and he said to check back two weeks. I will let you know if I will ever get it. I decided not to work for Todd Alder anymore because I would like to work for somebody else and start working right now. So I hope to get that job and I really to start working so I can have something to do and make money. Over the weekend I went skiing at Powder Mountain and it was great. So I went there on a Monday and there were NO PEOPLE there. I really liked it and there were really good snow. There were powder in most places because it is more like a backcountry ski area. I still like Alta better so I probably go there this month or maybe The Canyons because Matt Osmond wants to go there with me(if he ever bought a snowboard). For some reason, he really likes The Canyons but I do too. I had a good Christmas and I got a few things for Christmas. An ipod and a DeWalt cordless 18 volt drill. I really like the drill and especially the ipod. Now I can listen music in my car because it only has a radio and I can hook it on there with a radio transmitter called the itrip. It is really nice. I also got a really cool sweater to wear to church or about anywhere. I went to the Ancient Life Musuem at Thanksgiving Point with the family during Christmas break and I thought it was the coolest thing. I never seen anything like it. They had a lot of Dino skeletons like the Brachiosaurus, the Supersaurus, two T-Rexes, and a Utah Raptor. They had a lot of other dinosaur skeletons and big fish back in the dino times. It was cool. Well whoever wants to go skiing with me, Mike, Laura, or whoever at Beaver Mountain Resort this February, can come. It should be a fun little ski trip. Well, see ya later.

Sandy, Our Dog(acts like a cat)

Laying on Daniel's shoes,

That's what Sandy likes to do,

She occasionally poos,

That's what we all have to do,

She likes to chew,

And run around the zoo,

We wonder when she'll be through,

We all will be too.

Got Laid off.

December:

Hi, I am doing fine. Except the part where I got laid off for the winter on my framer job recently. Right now I am looking for a temporary job to work until I get my old job back next spring. I am waiting for a phone call from Intermountain Seed Co. in Ephraim to work there for the winter. I went to Alta last Saturday to go skiing and it was great. There was nobody there because everybody was down at the valley doing Christmas shopping. There was only about 4 feet of snow and it was not enough for the black diamond trails though but you can barely ski on them still but though the skiing was really fun. I spent $22 on a lunch at Alf's restaurant at the mid-mountain restaurant in Alta and it was sure expensive to eat there. $8 on a tuna fish sandwich, $10 on a chicken fajita, and $2 on a drink. What a rip-off, you think? Next time I am definitely taking a sack lunch. But it was a really good fun day. Next summer, I am planning on fixing my mom and dad's basement, we're going to put a gas fireplace on the wall, paint it real good, tear off all the old shelves, buy a new LCD flat screen tv, hang it on the wall and hook my new Sony surround system on it. Then get new carpet for the basement and the whole house then buy some recliners. Before that we are going to shingle the roof first. I will have to pay some of it if I am staying at home. That'll pay for the rent. Plus sometime next summer I am going to buy a Sikk motorbike for around $2,000. I am going to get the Sikk Trailbike and I can't wait to play on it. It should be fun. I chose to get that instead of getting a truck because it is cheaper and funner that way. Well, see ya later.
