The Sundry Seven

just something I'm looking forward to as a father. My sister found this clip on Google Video. I really do think that Google is going to take over the world.

Well, things are going pretty good. I turned in my thesis yesterday for formating check and for my committee to review. We get to go back to Provo for my defense on the 10th. I'm excited to see some friends and we get to see some volleyball as UVSC has a spring tournament that weekend. I'm really excited to have this thesis behind me soon. I have to put together a presentation for my defense and study like crazy so I can answer questions about every little detail. I'm pretty nervous. Not to mention that my advisor invited a retired professor who's area of expertise is exactly what my thesis is improving on. So I'm a little nervous that I won't be able to answer his questions.

Work is going well, the first drawings and specifications with my initials as a designer went out today for bid. That's a pretty cool thing for me because as an engineer, it's seeing your design get built that is really rewarding. This design was for an irrigation pump station in the city of Kuna. I also turned in a big report I've been working on for the City of Mountain Home. I really enjoy a lot of the work I get to do. I could bore you guys for a long time, just ask Anne. She's nice to listen to me when I come home and tell her about some of the cool things I get to do. I've actually been working on two projects or tasks for the city of Stayton Oregon. We do a lot of work for them and eventually Keller Associates wants to open an office around the area of Portland. So you never know, but that wouldn't happen until I can sit for my P.E. exam and get licensed in a few years.

Anne is enjoying coaching volleyball and was able to go to Salt Lake City this last weekend for their tournament. She is able to fell the baby now and was really excited to tell me today that the baby wasn't happy when she was sitting on the couch in a certain position. I know that may not be exciting for some who have a few kids, but it's amazing to me that there is actually a baby in there. I've been meaning to scan the last ultrasound at work so it is clearer, but will get to it soon.

Oh, i've gotta tell you about a funny moment at church. During sacrament meeting we were listening to the speaker and Anne leaned over and asked, "Does it smell like mashed potatoes, that sounds good." I looked at her and she realized how out of the blue the comment was and we both were all smiles in the middle of sacrament meeting. I tried to smell it, but couldn't see what she was catching with her nose.
