To all my fans (Jamie and Jen), here is my latest edition:
Since taking that trip...
I transferred into the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) of the navy. That means I no longer have to do the weekend drills or the two weeks a year. It simply means that my name is on a list that if they ever really needed me for a deployment, they could call me up. Because I have an eight year commitment, I'll be in the IRR until August 2010 after which I will have no more obligations with the navy :-)
I thought my life would be a little less busy after I went IRR... I was wrong. I was called to be YM President and my life hasn't known very much rest. Although, I enjoy this job much more than being in the navy.
I also took Hannah with me camping down at the San Rafael Swell. My dad and brother, Ryan came along. It was really nice.
On to more recent news: We're getting ready to put our house on the market next month. We have a few things that need to be fixed, but they shouldn't be too major. We're looking all over the place (SLC, south SL valley, and north Utah County), although we have one house we're particularly interested in not too far from where we're at. It's a home built in 1895 by George Q Cannon's son. This individual (can't remember his name) was the first architect in SLC. The home is gorgeous. Most of the first floor has been remodeled; most of it's historic architecture has been preserved. It sits on almost an acre lot and fronts the Jordan River. I'm sure at the time, it was probably considered a mansion. We would love to have it, but are trying to balance our girls needs with our wants. We just hope we can sell our current home in this economy.

Thanks for the update. That is exciting you are moving, but also sounds like alot of work.
I love older homes and hope one day to live in one. They have so much character and style. That being said, right now I hate older home because they are so much work. I found for our family it was easier to buy a newer home so I didn't have to stress about the repairs and worry about just fixing it for us to live in. But I don't need to tell you guys this, you know all about it.
Good luck with the house hunt.
That sounds like a wonderful home. Micaela has always loved history. She would love to be in a home with such great history. I really hope you can sell your home. You have done a great job in that home. I'm sure someone will find that it is what they need.
I love to hear the updates. Its great you were able to go camping with Hannah and your family. That will be a wonderful memory for Hannah.
