Tennessee, Tennessee!

When Becca and I started this blog, we set a goal of one post per person, per week, to keep it from growing stale. Thus far, I would say we've been pretty successful. The past two weeks, however, we have not posted due to a little (big) family emergency which took us to TN. More on that to follow in another very special post. Regardless of the later mentioned situation, our trip to Tennessee, although chaotic, was quite enjoyable. Most of our time was spent with a ridiculously full house of relatives or trying to be of some help around my house. It was also great to spend some time with my little brother who just got back from his mission in Spokane. The trip was pretty uneventful as far as blog-worthy and entertaining stories go, but I thought I would at the very least explain our absence.
Oh yeah, I also spent some time with my nephew Jackson. I've only seen this kid once before, one year earlier, so it was a blast to see how he's grown up (some). His favorite word? "Uggh." Everything is "Uggh" or "Dis". He's seriously a crack-up.
As I was away from the MTC for a couple of weeks, I was able to go more than 1 day without shaving and grew this nasty facial hair. I think the stash will be a permanent addition one day. I affectionately call it "Chester the Molester."
Becca and I flew home August 17th. Something tells me that is an important date, but I can't seem to put my finger on it... Oh well, I'm sure it was nothing.

On a somewhat unrelated note, as a guy, I typically refrain from posting articles related to clothing that would look cute on our baby. But, I make an exception... just to let Bec know that whenever Daddy is left in charge of dressing baby, "it" will be seen in nothing other than the following selection of clothing regardless of occasion or season...

Go VOLS!


Now for your viewing pleasure, we (my brothers and I) were bored to tears during a particularly dry portion of sacrament meeting and this is the result. I love that my phone has many programs to aid me through eternal meetings...

The Angel of Ugliness


Haha... Most of these are of Becca...I must be a real jerk. Poor wifey-pooh...
Bec's really let herself go lately. This is just wrong...I'm sorry Babe!
Hey! The Devil really does wear Prada!

This will be a good look for me in 50 years.

OH YEAH! AUGUST 17th! That's our Anniversary! OOPS! Hope you enjoyed your McDonalds in the Nashville Airport, Honey! Love You! Happy Anniversary!! Raincheck??
