Well, I've got a paper to write that is due in a couple of hours, so that's usually when I do things like write in a blog. This week was one of many and I've been enjoying summer in between work. I've picked up another job and I'll be starting some more hours at the sorenson center in the evenings, I'm not exactly sure why, they just sounded desperate. It looks like the rest of my summer will be spent working on my project for school, and doing my comprehensive finals. I'll get those assigned next week and they take a month to complete. I heard it's just like writing 3 20 page research papers, it shouldn't be too bad, right? So this week in my time off I found some time to fit in some volleyball, running (finally) and a lot of good pool time. That pool is making my rent check more and more worth it. The job search continues, I think I will find one more job in my life, and just do it until I die so I won't have to do this again. But honestly at least there is Allstate. I love you all and hope all is well!

Dad & GPA
Slowly getting better. But it took my whole family; children, grandchildren, gr. grandchildren, and wife to help me get to where I am. I can't thank all of you enough. Now with aqua-therepy, I'm slowly getting better. However I sure have kept my eyes and ears on all of you. I appreciate you and love all of you. Dad & GPA
P.S. Grandma just about sold our house out from under us. But when she started to put everything down she would want in a new house, she found we already have it here. And we don't have to pack and we don't have to look for another place. We both couldn't handle it.

It may be tricky, but I'm going to see if gpa and Dad will write a little. He said he would 3 or 4 hours ago. We had a nice neeting. Two ladies spoke on the Plan of Salvation. They covered it well. Kyle, those fireworks sounded awsome. And they were even better than the Osmonds in Provo. Brynley, I've used your expression: "just as always, life happens." I'm trying to express my desire to get off his dine and send me some test information. Life is happening too fast and I want that degree sooner than not at all. I got an e-mail address for Chris. He just sailed out of port for a time heading towards the Mederteranean or there abouts. It is:
christopher.marler@cvw1.navy.mil. He may be glad fore a short note. Ryan and Kathryn, we hope your house deal gets going. Jill & Gary, Let me know a home address as soon as you can in case the Church offices call and want to know where you are. Love you all lots and remember who you are, and act accordingky. Love, GMA & ibm

The Best Fireworks Ever!
Kyle:
So last night I saw the best fireworks show I've ever seen. Hands down. We were on the rooftop of this building overlooking the East River and we were right in the middle of the action. The buildings were shaking with the booms. Here's an article I saw on Yahoo about the whole deal: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070705/ap_on_re_us/4th_of_july. So it's been a pretty exciting week. I watched the Yankees play yesterday and they lost which is good news in my book. This weekend I went to a bar-b-q, played ultimate frisbee, watched a Staten Island Yankees game, went to a rooftop party, and broke my new camera, and went to church. I think I'll be getting a new camera today. I talked to Gma Poll on her birthday and I feel bad I missed out on the celebration. She said it was wonderful. Work is coming along well, I still enjoy it and I feel like I'm learning a lot and meeting some great people. Grandma Poll told me not to love it too much out here so I'll try to tone it down. I love you all and I love hearing from you. Ry and Kat, congrats on the house! Mom and Dad, you too. I almost feel like I need to sell a house this month just to fit in around here. I love you all more than Bear Lake!

It's independance day
Brynley
What a week, just as always, life happens. This last week I had the opportunity to go to drug school. There was a national conference on the U of U campus where I got to pay some money and go learn about drugs and alcohol. I took the whole week off and told my boss I would be in rehab for the week. He was happy to have me back sober today. I'm really glad I went to the conference I learned so much and finally feel like it was directly applicable to my desires. I have a job interview in the morning with East High School as a counselor, I don't think I fit the education and experience credentials listed, but hopefully I can convince them that I do. I've started a new second job this week too. I'll be working with kids whose parents can't take care of them so they are now being adopted by family members. (grandparents, aunts etc.) It has been quite the eye-opener. I appreciate experiences that keep me grateful and this has and will continue to remind me of so many blessings.
Mom and Dad, Ivan and Jessica have offered you their house as well, As long as you don't mind living with a pregnant Jessica. I'm afraid you will need to be out by February 1st because your room will be the nursery at that point.
I'm sure most of you have heard about my friend Dave Leavitt who was in that car accident on Hwy. 89 on Thursday. Apparently he will be having back surgery tomorrow, and eventually will have a lot of emotional as well as physical healing to do. Please remember him and his family in your prayers.
Well, I better wrap up and hit the sack, it was good to be with almost everyone yesterday at grandma's birthday celebration. what a neat family we have. Luv you all! Have a wonderful 4th of July wherever you may be!

Where is everyone?
ibmom & gma
Tis a beautiful day out there. It's a little after eight a.m. and not 90 degrees yet. Where are all the people that used to post weekly on internet? Ryan? Gary? I love hearing from Kyle and all his fantastic experiences at the State Fair, in the park, playing soccer, doing service projects, attending Church with investigators, etc. And to think Jill and Gary are packing boxes makes my head spin. I told your mom, but it's worth repeating. It makes me appreciate my home more. A lady stopped at the house last week and wondered if we would be interested in selling our house. They would really like a 3 car garage. I took her through and her eyes sparkled. I told her we didn't have an estimate, but we thought it worth at least 300,000. She said if we were interested in selling to call her. They just live down the street from us. About 4 hours later, her husband came to the house and said: "we don't want to rush you, but I'd like to give you $25,000 down and you get an estimate and whenever you want, we'll buy it from you." Your mom said to write everything we would like in a new home. After I got through with the list, it had everything on it that we already have. (except it's older than 5 years old and it still just has 2 bathrooms. Then I thought of packing boxes and I just don't have the strength to do that. The stress of moving would be too great. We love our home. So I called them and said no thnks, we don't want to sell. GPA decided he'd quit griping at the things that need fixing and have patience to wait till we can get somone to repair. Jeff said if it gets too hard on us, he and Linda could move in with us. So that takes care of that.
GPA is going to the Physical Therapist today and see if he can get more mobility in his legs. He took a fall yesterday morning coming out of the computer room. I heard a little mumbling, but not distress. By the time I came in, he was in a chair, but couldn't get up in it. We got him up and we were still able to go to Fast Meeting. His feet have been swelling. The lassix hasn't helped that much. So the next thing we'll do is check with the heart Dr.
I'm discouraged with my class at BYU. I can't get the prof. to answer some questions about the mid term. I will try one more time today to get the tutor. I just don't have that much time left to spend extra weeks getting hold of the prof. We'll see. Hope all is well with you. Love, ibmom and gma
