Haloween

Great Halloween this year! 60 degrees for trick or treating. Justine had a party where 15 of her friends came over for pizza, trick or treating, games, and a movie. The Morrison's across the street were having the same party for boys in Justine's class...Tracy (the mom at the boy's party) called Michelle and told her that the girls should sneek over and come through the backyard and scare the boys. It turned out to be a setup, because as soon as the girls went into the back yard, all the boys jumped out and scared all the girls to death.

New Dog

After months of searching, we finally found a dog for Emilie. She has been begging for close to a year for a dog! Meet Rusty, our new Australian Sheperd.



Rusty should make a fine addition to our family! We looked high and low for a good dog; this one will be a great camping dog, and is GREAT with kids; very protective, and well mannered. He is already very attached to Emilie.

In Other News...

The house search is on hold for now. We put in an offer this fall but didn't get it. I think things will continue to drop over the winter, so we will hit it again next spring. We will know when its the right time, I believe.

Michelle is the new Community Council president...she really loves serving over at the school, and has many great ideas and has a great attitude.

Work is busier than ever for dad. Spent the week in Idaho going on appointments for new business. We have more than ever in our pipe. If we exceed our number for the year, we get to take our wives to the company trip in the Dominican Republic. We are working hard to get there. We really do have the best SAN on the market, and have received 10-12 major awards this year, which is giving us major exposure. We win roughly 80% of the deals we get into. My partner, Carl, is a phenomenal salesman...one of the best I have been around. I learn alot working alongside him. I have a great job!

Short Update

So much is going on that we will need to take a couple hours next Sunday to update the blog. Quick recap...

This Saturday we will be in the temple with Paul and Natalie as they prepare to get married on November 1st. Paul is one of my ward missionaries that I was able to get to know several months ago (read here). What a great experience that will be! Then next week they will be sealed in the SLC Temple.


Today is my birthday....way too old. Michelle is taking me to a movie today. The girls want to get me a cat or a dog for my birthday. I did get a new bow!

UPDATE

We went and saw Forever Strong today. Great movie! Several awesome messages in it. It's about the Highland Rugby team here in SLC. We used to live right across the street from Highland High School when we were first married.
