I have been busy working and trying to find a car cheap enough that runs well enough for us. There are some amazing vehicles out there. Most of which are out of our price range, but even the ones that are can be interesting! We found a 78 Civic, looked cool but
was won on ebay by a collector. I wasn't pay too much for one of those. I even put a bid in for one of my dream cars. it was a 2006 Jaguar XKR it was a convertible, I prefer hardtop, but I didn't win that one either. Oh well, the search goes on.
Olympics... We only get NBC so I missed a bunch from the other networks, of which I am most disappointed in not seeing was the Handball. I know only a little bit about the sport but it looks really fun. and really cool! I read somewhere that it is like the number two or three team sport in the world behind Soccer. I wish the US had more of that
around. good workout, fun, exciting, challenging, tons of action, lots of scoring! what more to sports is there? OK I guess that is enough for the Handball.I also have received a new assignment in church. I am now the Ward Mission Leader. I am replacing a Former Mission President, but I am super excited about it, and I am looking forward to doing things a little differently, but hopefully just as well! That is also a bit of a vampire for my time. I don't mind, it just is.
I got a comment on the last post from and old friend about boys blogging. I realize I am in the minority. Most of you reading this are probably women. I recognize that typically it is the woman in the family that would do one of these blog things. Well... I don't care. I like it. Mostly I like trying to find obscure pictures for the top of my blog. It also is a way for me to communicate with my wife and family. I know that sounds dysfunctional, and well, it is, but I don't get cut off here, (mom) I don't get interrupted, (kids, they are asleep), and I can re-read things and then delete the things I shouldn't say or don't sound right, (wife). Now tell me, what man wouldn't love to be able to use the delete key in a few conversations with his wife! NONE, we all would! So Becky, I am happy you found my blog, I appreciate it even more you made a comment, and welcome more. BUT, Blogging is not just for girls. I can be a manly guy and still keep a blog!

i think it's AWESOME that you have a blog, Brad!! :) wish i could talk Peter into having one. remember, you can also use the "this is my journal" excuse, but maybe you keep another journal...i don't, so i use it. anyway, i'm reading Breaking Dawn right now, and i'm really enjoying it. oh, thanks for calling the other day...you got some work to do on your accent though. :) i was in the middle of something, otherwise i would've answered. (like you said, a good reason to blog--and to text, if you ask me.) ttyl...
I love the idea of a man blogging as well... I don't see why not. I think mostly it's women because we are the ones trying to share kid stories with the relatives... blame it on that.
I don't get the whole craze of the twilight series, and now I am a little skeptical to start reading them, like I'm just jumping on the cool bandwagon... I'll wait until I might actually be interested in them.
I have a car you could buy.... but it's a long ways away. I'm trying to get rid of my parent's '98 Bonneville... no dice so far, it's still cluttering up my driveway.
I wish I could have share some of my olympic love with you... we have cable, probably got it on a few different channels... I hardly watched it. I think the only thing I ACTUALLY watched, was the entire game of women's court volleyball for the gold medal. Sweet, huh?
Actually....yours is one of the best blogs!! Love the stuff you write about, love the graphics, and love the family pics!! Sorry about your dream car :( Better luck next time.
XOXOX
PS: Got Holly's note....love her "rocks" too!!
