My First Attempt

So.... I have never done this before. This is my first attempt and I thought I would let the Weston Family know a little more about me. So I am finishing up my Junior year in Chemical Engineering and it's a lot tougher than I thought it would be as a married man, but with a little more focus and hard work, I am sure that I can pull through. As most of the family knows Lynette and I are headed to Corpus Christi this summer and we have recently been looking for apartments. I am extremely glad Lynette and I did not have to do this to find our first apartment. Thank you Bryan and Joanne! Anyways, we are getting pretty excited about it and are still trying to find that apartment. It doesn't help that the company has not mentioned anything about when I am to start, so, we try and guess. We are looking to be able to take a week before I am to start and visit some of the family on both sides. We might even be able to see "Wicked" in Missouri (my brother lives there). It is going to be a wonderful experience to be in Texas. The company name I will be working for is called Celanese Corporation. They work in Chemicals, Polymers, and other products. It's a company similar to Dow Chemical, but about 8 times smaller, only a 6-7 Billion dollar company instead of a 48 Billion dollar compnay. They came to the school about 2-3 years ago and since that day I have been very impressed with them. The two representatives that they had were wonderful people who I thought did a great job of selling their company. I set the goal to get an internship and it came true. They are a great company and they called me last week and let me know that they wanted to take me and the other interns skiing at Solitude. It was incredible! 15 inches of new snow, mid-week, no lines. It, again, was awesome! I will have to post a picture of me at the top of the summit, but as for now, just know that I went to Solitude. Well, that pretty much gives you some info into my life at the moment. Hope you all enjoy.

Good News!

The school I teach at has been battling with the school district as to whether or not we have to implement the MYP-IB (Middle Years Program-International Baccalaureate). We met with the superintendent today and were told we don't have to do it! I could go off on why we're so excited about this but I won't. Look it up if you're interested. Happy Day!!!

Changes

Ok, I know, it's been like 500 years since I last posted. So much has happened since that wonderful chaco's post. There have been times I've been about to post but the task has been too daunting. But I've finally overcome my fears and just decided to post. I'm not going to promise this is going to be a regular thing but I'll try. Here goes on an update for the last 6 months.

End of August 2007: Anthony Vance and I start sitting next to each other in church (it's magical)
September 2007: He asked me out on our first date on the 15th. (Again magical)
October 2007: We break up but get back together a week later. (He couldn't stand it not being magical)
November 2007: Anthony proposes on the 15! (Need I say it again - totally magical)
December 2007: We get married on the 15! (The 15th is a pretty magical day for us) We honey mooned at Brian Head (lots of relaxing and skiing) We enjoyed our first Christmas and ran our first 5K together.
January 2008: We found ourselves living in the basement of my parents house with reality settling in.
February 2008: The 15th marked our 2 month anniversary

So, that about sums up my last six months. There are times I can't believe I'm married and have a husband. If you had told me six months ago that I'd be married before my half birthday (march 8) I never would have believed you. But it's true and I love it. It's so fun to wake up next to your best friend. And it was definitely worth the wait!!
(I'm trying to attach pictures but I'm not sure it's working. If it does they may be in random order. But they are pictures of us playing DDR while dating, our wedding, skiing on our honeymoon, and our first christmas (I made UofU pj's). I'll post more pictures later. I should have done a slide show but I don't know how, oh well.)
