Update for last week of April to May 2010

Too busy to write

Jeremy

Dear readers, I apologize for not writing anything over the last three months. Alisa and I got too busy between my work, the holidays and schooling, plus our additional activities.

Busy weeks

Jeremy

I’ve have one of those busy weeks again. Well I think I’m repeating myself because every week is so busy. This one was full with, of course work and school and midterm examinations. I finally received my diploma from the school (picture will follow soon) so I’m officially a BYU Idaho graduate with a Bachelor of [...]
