Super Excited

I have been incredibly busy this semester and between work and school have not been able to do much else. I just have to keep telling myself that my schedule isn't permanent and that it will be over soon. There are two things that I am really looking forward to though that are helping me stay focused. 1) The baby! I am so excited that we are having a baby girl. when Ann was pregnant with Ryan it seemed to go by so slow but this time around it could not not be happening any faster. August 4th is the due date which is the day after the last day of summer semester. Hopefully she doesn't decide to come early because I will actually be teaching fitness classes next semester rather than going to class. 2) Disneyland! I haven't been since 4th grade and I hear that it has only gotten better. May 7-12 is when we will be going and i can't wait. Ryan asks me everyday if we can go to Disneyland but I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what it even is. If you ask him he'll tell you it's where Chuck -E- Cheese lives. He's pretty close, those mice can be confusing to a two year old. speaking of Ryan, here is a pic

Done With Finals

Last Thursday I finished up my finals for the semester. I feel like I did well but the day did not start off very well. The night before finals I was so worried that my alarm clock would not go off that I barely slept. Eventually I did fall asleep but felt like I was woken up almost immediately by my alarm. I was relieved to see that I didn't sleep in but I closed my eyes just for a second (apparently it was longer than a second) and when I opened them again it was 1/2 hr later than when I originally woke up. I ran out of bed and hopped in the shower/got dressed/ ran out the door. I take trax to school from 90th south and when I pulled in to the parking lot the train I was hoping to catch was just arriving. I quickly parked, and began running to the train but it pulled away as I was getting on the platform. It takes 45 minutes to get from Sandy to the U and my first final was starting in an hour but I still had to wait for the next train to come. While waiting for the direct train to campus I overheard another student talking to someone about how he heard that the route schedule had changed. I had to make a decision. Either get on the next train that would take me downtown and then catch a connecting train to campus, or wait 7 more minutes for the train that I had overheard may not be coming but if it did then it would take me straight to school. I decided to get on the first train and I ended up making it to campus 8 minutes before my final, unfortunately my class is the farthest possible building from the station. I began running through the snow and made it to class a few minutes late but sat down and was able to take the test. I did not enjoy taking my test while panting and sweating.

Also, what's the best thing about Christmas time at temple square?

All the free snow you can eat.

New Computer

Check out this bad boy. This is my new computation machine, I 1t's an Acer One with a 10.1'' screen, 1G ram, and 160G hard drive and weighs just over 2 lbs. I've wanted this computer for a while (ever since Riley got one) and finally got it yesterday.

A change.

I've decided where I want to go with my blog. From now on I plan on posting about the adventures of me and my little dude. I want my friends and family to know how much I love being a Daddy and hopefully share some fun stories along the way. I figured that right now is the best time to start because Ryan is still just a baby, I'm in the middle of school, and we are dirt poor. I want to show others that it is possible to make it work but most importantly I want Ryan to be able to look back on this when he's older and remember the good times he had with Dad.
This picture is how Ryan and I spent the evening. We learned all about the opposite things dogs can do and as you can tell it was pretty darn fun. This is some good old fashion fun.

Fun with Ryan

This is Ryan and his cousin bailey celebrating the 4th of July with an afternoon bath.

My favorite little guy.

Here are some pictures of my little dude and I. He's just the best kid a guy could ask for.

I'm excited.

This week is air force week and on Saturday there is an airshow at Hill AFB. I'll be there, pictures to come. One more thing, a benefit of being sick is I get to watch a handful of shows that I usually wouldn't have time to watch. I borrowed season one of Heroes and Andrea and I have been hooked, I probably would have gotten better a little bit quicker had I gotten more sleep instead of watched more episodes but sometimes you just can't stop watching. Ya know?
