the visit

Well its near the 1st of the month and no call yet but we have just been visited by family at least on Kegan's side. Her parents have come to see the baptism of there grandchild, our nephew. and to drop off a sudden gift, we are to be the temporary guardians of another nephew Kyrie Linville his mother had a mental break down. So we decided to help out and give him a place to live until she is ready to be mentally stable again. its kinda nice, but at the same time we are going to have to make a lot of changes. I hope we can be strong enough example too make a good impression on his life like all of our family was to me during our little split up. So i have decided the best thing is to make sure he at least has some religious backgrounds and values and started to take him to church the whole 3-4 hrs not just sacrament and we have started making meal times instead of his unusual snack hours he is used to its not something I'm really used to but we really do care for his well being and want the best for him even though we are not really his parents.

Jobs

So anyone who knows me, knows i lose jobs quick. Weird thing is i am not sure why, this last one i got working Steel i quit. although its too high ,plus a Madison County jailer job i applied to wanted me to appear for a test and it was keep the job you hate or go for the job you want. Well so far it seems to have paid off. (i hope) so far i have passed a physical test, consisting of a jump above 14 in., a push up over 21 reps, sit ups over 14 reps, a 300 meter Dash under 77 sec.(which is by the way exhausting) ,and a 1 1/2 run in under 17 min easy. well i past with flying colors. i was in the top 16 out of 40 who made it past the physical. Then right after the last 16 passers went for a written test that took 2 hrs. 2 days later i was informed that they wanted me to come in today for a Oral Board of Revue made me a little nervous, but too my surprise; there questions although deep, and very direct were easy to answer for me they seemed fairly open with me and glad i came in. (cross your fingers) anyhow i just found out from a couple of the other testers one of them Tom Smith that i was one of the 5 out of the 16 chosen to do an Oral Board of Revue. Tom didn't make it i guess :( So now i wait to see how my Background check goes and hope they call me in a few days to a week then comes a polygraph if i make it that far.

blaaah

so i just got back today it was so tiring we drove 8 hours to oregon to find ourselves arriving late at night. then sleeped on hard wooden benches, when we awoke i found myself realizing i brought no underwear. so I went to walmart and got me some new underwear, i also hard to buy meals for the next few days cause kegan didnt like the food. anyhow the highlights were the were the family dispersion it was great every one just dispersed to do there own thing i only had to talk to sandy once. next highlight was the horseshoe championship it always ends up with cory winning i didnt participate i was at walmart cory felt bad so he found me later and was did the horseshoe toss by ourselves and i won again. he never can win me anyhow. last but not least the traditional skits at the ampitheater this year only 2 skits total but instead we did hows your family been and most of us had enjoyed that part last highlight the trip home. hooooomme . i got sick on the way feels like hay fever my throat is burning i got terrible sleep last night thank goodness for nighquill or how ever its spelled. so that was the reunion we went too i love you all.

stay on target....

all right now that I've taken a trip down memory lane, lets talk about Jon for a bit. Well, Jon's weird! not the freaky "gonna snap off your legs weird." But the "funny ha ha" kinda weird. After Elisabeth's arrival to Utah in the Cash valley region now known as Logan, I and Jon undertook a trip back to Montana to get the car. The circumstances were bad, Heavy snow fall, icy roads,a nutty brother, and a paranoid tired brother trying to over compensate the nutty bro. (alright that's a Lil exaggeration but just go with me here) The trip was promising to be interesting if not fun. most of the way was pretty much Jon saying funny crazy stuff like Dad does when hes tired and i think he was a bit tired since we left almost as soon as i got back. around about mud lake region of Idaho we got hit by the worst snow storm i had seen in a long time, you couldn't even see 5 feet in front of you. much less try too stay the course, (this is where Jon's weird really hit its peak. He started talking to himself " Stay on Target Stay on Target....." i sort of woke up out of my Revelry to these words. i look over and see the speedometer read roughly about 75 to 80 mph on top of the snow and see that we are coasting back an forth on the road. lucky for us Jon's driving skills were on top play we narrowly missed a Commercial Truck that was too our right as he pulled ahead this storm continued till we were roughly 30 miles from butte, and every time we passed a vehicle Jon would say those famous words drawn from a Star Wars movie "Stay on Target...Stay on Target!" he he you goof. well we arrived and picked up the car and headed home. if you noticed i seem to be drawing a lot of blanks its cause i hardly remember this trip mostly cause of exhaustion sorry jon but i tried
