Hello after so long,
I can’t believe that I never took the chance to write a
little here and there to let my family know what’s going on with my family.
Well a lot of exciting and fun stuff has happened and is about to happen with
all of us.
Let’s see the last time I wrote was 2010 Fourth of July.
Wow. Since then My family and I have moved to Provo for about a year where Brandi finished her prerequisites for Parker Chiropractic school she
wants to go to. While living in Provo I ended up going to school at Utah Valley
University studying Criminal Justice from some of the best teachers who were
formally FBI agents, DEA agents, Defense attorney and also a Detective for the
Orem PD.
While living in our apartment in Provo Brandi and I had another
wonderful addition to our family, on September 14, 2011 where Chloe was born at
about 9:50 am in the American Fork Hospital.
Brevan was a great boy at our
neighbors and loved the new baby and still loves making her laugh.
In February
of 2011 I started working at Peak Alarm where I was a guard for a huge business
park called Canyon Park Technology Center. I mostly worked night and swing
shifts, which were a little hard on all of us, but got us the money we needed and
gave me the time to attend all of my classes easily.
I feel bad skimming all of this stuff but hopefully I will
be better about posting and will keep more detailed writing.
In November of 2011 Ginger, Brandi’s sister who had recently
gotten married to Steven Hobson, asked us if we wanted to live in their new
house, in the basement, that they had bought in Eagle Mountain Utah for a great
deal so we could save some money. We agreed and moved to Eagle Mountain after
our thanksgiving break where we had visited Brandi’s parents for the holiday.
Last December I was able to graduate from UVU with a bachelor’s
degree in Criminal Justice and an emphasis in accounting.
Between the months of January of this year to March I worked
days full time and we all spent time together at Gingers and Stevens house.
Brevan started learning very fast and now knows all of his basic colors, he has
been able to count to ten on his own, and sings a variety of songs from
nursery. His two favorites are Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and I Am a Child of
God.
On April 5th we found a house in Lewisville Texas
which is a suburb of Dallas, about 30 min north of Dallas. Here we have started
a new milestone for both Brandi and I. Brandi is starting her Doctorates
Program at Parker on Monday the 7th. She is very excited and cant
wait to get back to school and really dive into her life desire of being a
great Chiropractor. I have applied to be a Texas State Trooper and am in the process
of getting ready to start the academy in June. I have passed the physical
testing and written test all I have left is a polygraph test, an oral board
review and then a psychological test before I enter. The one thing that is good
about becoming a Trooper is that the training is the most rigorous and
demanding then any department I have ever seen. I have also been told that many
federal agencies look to the Texas Troopers for hiring because of it; it’s basically
like boot camp.
Well that is the last year and a half or so all wrapped up
in highlights.
Now don't burn the cabin y'all.
Now don't burn the cabin y'all.
Best update ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteWHOA!! I was WAY behind on your life! #cousinfail
ReplyDeleteBut CONGRATS on all levels!! You are going to be the best Trooper ever! I bet you are kicking some major A over there.
As for my update, I heard this on a tv show the other day and it sums it up quite nicely: "I'm going to end up alone... a single, old lady flashing people on the subway.” :)
I love this blog. I am going to save it and read it often. Love you guys! Jim & Susan
