From the mouth of Brandon. Sit back, grab a tall cold one, and enjoy!!!
What I was doing ten years ago...Ten years ago I had been back from my mission to New York City for about 6 months trying to figure out what I was going to do. I was working for my dad doing computer networking, going to school at UVSC, hanging out with friends, meeting new girls and having the time of my life. I was the first one to get home from my mission so I was waiting around for my high school buddies to return and then get back to what we did best before everyone left.
What I was doing five years ago... I am finally married by this time BOOOOOYA! We had just moved out of our first apartment in Orem and moved into my parent’s basement to save some money. Thanks AJ & Biggins. Kim had just accepted a Job in New York so we were lucky to have that option open to us. We were kid less at the time and just hanging out doing what we pleased. Dang those days were sweet. But all good things must come to an end. We were working at Nu Skin and they were keeping up busy as usual. We were also deciding if it was time to start having kids. Later in 2003 Traci went to the local grocery store bought a test and E.P.T said yes. Hailey was on her way and due to arrive in September of 2004.
One Year Ago...I was getting ready to welcome our Second daughter Kennedy into the world. She will turn one on Friday the 20th. I can’t believe that it has already been a year. Oh boy how time flies. We also had just sold our town house bought a new house and I was finishing up Kennedy’s room with new paint and bead board to welcome our new bundle of joy home.
Yesterday... I was traveling back from Houston Texas where I spent the weekend with some High School Buddies. Trent Church, Chad Schmidt, & Kyle Harris. WOW OH WOW, we had the time of our lives and left Texas totally exhausted but made it home for Father’s day. I left my heart and a bunch of perspiration in Texas. Traci and the Girls treated me well on fathers day with cards, a tall diet coke upon my arrival home, and a new Dewalt drill. Looks like Traci has a project up her sleeve.

Honey, I find it funny that all the people you want to tag are chicks! Nice work on the posting. Spelling and grammatical errors were kept to a minimum.
Love ya!
Glad to know I have a worry friend!! I freak when my kids get sick too.
Is the symphony bar in the blue wrappper w/o toffee chips? I love the toffee chips one.
Mowing the lawn twice!!! I think i remember you mowing the lawn at your parents house. I love that your a lawn freak. Gotta love a tight mow. And I am with you on unauthorized poop on the grass or was it just the animal itself?
Diet Coke...YUCK!! You have to admit that is an aquired taste cuz it tastes like poison. Cut the 80/20 crap and drink the real stuff. :)That is soo fun you went to Texas! Tell them hi for me. Ive commented on their blogs a few times but i think they've written me off. "only stay friends with the cool people"
