CA and AK trip

We recently went on a two week trip that included driving down to Rancho Cucamonga, CA and then flying up to Kotzebue, AK. It was a blast. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

(Sidenote: a few years ago we were playing Trivial Pursuit and one of the questions was how many trees are in the Kotzebue National Forest. The answer was 1. We saw 2, and this was one of them.)

Father's Day

So I'm not a father yet but Sarita built me a cake for Father's Day anyway. It was absolutely delicious.

Joey and Katie's Wedding

A lot of people took a lot of photos at Joey and Katie's wedding back in May but here are a few pictures that we got that I thought we good.

BYU Graduation

I know I should have posted these a couple of months ago, but here are some pictures from Sarita's graduation. She graduated with Honors with a degree in English Teaching. Since graduation she has accepted a position teaching 7th grade at Elk Ridge Middle School and now she is studying for the GRE which she has signed up to take August 14th.

Hooray for Hulu

Before the writers strike in Hollywood, Sarita and I were getting into Season 4 of The Office. Since the strike, however, we've needed to get caught up on a few episodes that we missed to get back into things. The two things I don't enjoy about watching television shows is that you have to plan on being available at a specific time to watch the new episodes and there are way too many commercials.

Well, for those of you who would prefer to watch shows with fewer commercials and whenever and wherever you want, there is a fairly new web site called hulu. It was started as a joint venture between News Corp and NBC Universal and has been gaining momentum picking up content to more shows as well as movies. By visiting this site Sarita and I have been able to catch up on the TV shows that we've missed, with limited commercials, and we might not even go back to watching things on TV.

Park Visit

Sarita and I recently went to visit a little private park around the corner from our house where they have ducks, geese, and goats. My favorite was this tiny black and white goat. It was pretty cute. I think it would be fun to someday have a house with enough land to have some animals.

New Paint and Decorations

I finally got around to hanging our new mirror and pictures up in our family room and painted our kitchen green. It might seem like a risky color scheme to have a red living room with a green kitchen but it looks fantastic I think. I would have put up more pictures of the kitchen, but you can hardly even tell it is green.
