Geez its been a while since I have blogged. I don't know if you guys really care or even if you are reading this blog and my the nagging feeling that I have had about posting a new blog is completely ridiculous and I so high on myself that I feel you guys hang on every word I type. My job provides me with a lot of down time so I might blog a lot more or find something productive to do at work.
It's been over a month since my last entry and a lot has happened. First I got married and that was pretty amazing, by far the greatest day of my life. It was so beautiful. The day was crystal clear and my wife looked absolutely wonderful. LDS Weddings are very different than the average wedding. It's hard to explain but you just feel like instead of a ceremony or a time to declare you love to your soul mate it feels like God is more involved in it. I guess that's why we call them sealings because it really does feel like God is sealing you to your wife. A lot of things went wrong that day but the fact that I married the love of my life over shadows everything.

After we got out of the Temple we had to spend forever taking pictures. I hated my photographer. All his pictures were good I mean they were high quality but he had us do the stupidest poses for pictures. It was such an awesome feeling.

The reception was so beautiful and very well decorated and the food was great, but nobody showed up it seemed. We had immediate family and a few people from church, but not half as many as I thought would come. There were a few friends who came but they really dropped the ball on that and bombed out on me, but like I mentioned earlier none of that even seemed to bother me. Overall you get so sick of standing there and shaking people's hands so it was probably good that nobody showed up so we could get out of there sooner.

It did make me wonder though if I am like Michael Scott from "The Office" where he thinks he has a million friends and everybody kind of pretends to be his friend but when it really comes down to it they all hate him and find him very annoying and dumb. I mean I thought if I was like anybody on the office it would like Kevin or maybe best case scenario Creed Bratton.


The honeymoon was nice and very relaxing we had a lot of fun and lets not beat around the bush we had a lot of sex. I don't know if you guys are wondering how that went but this is all I will say. Sex for me was like Lebron James - Definitely lived up to the hype. For Sheena is probably like Kwame Brown - a major bust.
I started a new job about the beginning of August at the Bannock House. The Bannock House is a home for kids between the ages of 12-18. It is a segway home for most of the kids living here. They are waiting to either be given new foster parents or have recently been to Juvenile Detention and the State has decided that it is in their best interest to live here before they are sent back home to their parents. Not all the kids are juvenile delinquents, most are but being in trouble with the law is not the only qualification of coming to the Bannock House. There are instances where for whatever reason their parents biological or legal could not provide the necessary care for their child whether it be because both the parents are in jail in some cases they are deceased and there are no relatives who are available or willing to properly care for the kids
My part of the job as direct care staff is to watch the kids. For the most part we just hang out with the kids. We try to provide a fun and safe environment for them as well as be an example to the them. I love my job its fun and its very educational for me. When you can love your job and enjoy coming into work it makes life so much easier.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I work from 7:30am to 4:00pm the kids are in school from 8:00-3:30, so I only get to hang out with them for an hour during that time. So while they are in school I get to basically do nothing. But while they are here I pretty much just sit and listen to them complained about everything possible little thing or I watch VH1 one with them
Married Life
It seems like ever since I have gotten home from my mission people ask the same question everytime they see me. When I first got home, it was always "Are you excited to be home?" After a while the question changed to "So when are you getting married?" and then when I got engaged it was "Are you excited to get married?" and now that I am married it is "How is married life?"
I want to address the last question. Married is great I love it and it is everything its cracked up to be but at the same time its not that much different. I already spent every single second I could with Sheena. Living together can be kind of a change but we knew each other so well before that nothing the other one did surprised us.
There are little differences. Sheena makes me put on deodorant before I go to bed and sometimes I feel like I am back in highschool where I had to tell my parents where I am going and when I expected to be back now I just do that with my wife. But the most of the changes and differences are wonderful. I don't have to go home at night and I get to wake up to her every morning.
