Make the blog more manly..

I had no choice, I had to do it. The floral pattern just wasn't working for me anymore. Thank you Brittany for all your help! Maybe in 12 more years I'll give you a call to help walk me through it again!
So life hasn't slowed down since the last post. I'm pretty much back to work full time and life is going full speed. Brooklyn is at cheer camp on Monday afternoons, Wyatt is the wildest and funniest four year old boy in the world, and Colton finally said screw crawling and started walking all over the place. We are all doing fantastic. Not to say that the last few weeks haven't been very tough on everybody but we accept the fact of what happened and we are all doing our best to move forward. There are times when I have felt guilty for doing as well as I am doing but than I have read a couple of books recently that have reassured me that it is okay to be happy and to move forward. Russell M. Nelson and Paul H. Dunn (RIP) have a way of putting things into perspective and helping answer questions about the reality of the situation.
I am loving the fact that I apparantly slept through June-September and woke up somewhere in the middle of October. What is up with the weather?!?!?!? I think we are in our 5th or 6th straight day of rain and 6/7 of the next few days are rainy. I could bring the sun back out by simply selling my motorcycle but I'm not ready to do that just yet. Any thoughts anyone? Motorcycle vs 4 wheeler? Your input may just be what pushes to towards holding on or selling.
I am so grateful for my family, friends and work associates at this time as well. Everyone has been so supportive of every decision I have made since Michelle's passing. I'm doing my best, everyday is a challenge but we're doing great! Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes and I swear, I am getting to thank you cards for the donations to the kids and foundation this next week!
PS I am now officially driving the coolest truck in Utah

Both are really fun but a 4-wheeler has my vote because you can use them in any season where a motorcycle is limited to nice days only. Not to mention use them to shovel your driveway.... Glad you are doing well. Post some pics of the cool truck.

Your welcome! For the blog help that is!! I vote 4 wheeler too! Like Darren said, good days, bad days, shovel your driveway, but also you can take all your kids at once on it. You can also take your kids trick-or-treating on it and you'll be the coolest Dad ever!

I dare you to keep a car or truck or other vehicle longer than 6 months.


I don't think you can do it.

The rain is your fault. Thanks a lot.

Hey Justin, I am glad you are letting yourself be happy!

Me and Seth have talked about you a lot and we know you will be okay because you are honest. When the moment calls for grieving you will grieve and when life gives you happiness you will accept it. That's awesome!

I think people refuse to be happy again after tragedy but if you aren't happy your kids won't be happy and that would be a tragedy as well.

Glad things are going well. I love 4 wheelers but Tag wants a motorcycle so bad! Good luck. I love the new blog template.

Hey man, we still haven't been able to get together. I feel like a very lame cousin. I had a dream about you and your family the other night and it reminded me that we haven't been to touch really since we got back. Give me a day and a time that works for you and we'll make it happen.
Love!
