A Heap Full


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.

  1. WHOA!! I was WAY behind on your life! #cousinfail

    But 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.” :)
