I've been told...

...that it is time to update the blog again.  I know its bad when Sheena isn't even the one telling me its been too long between posts.  So, I'm going to try to give you something to read, but there's not much exciting going on in my life right now.

I have moved back home with my parents.  After searching for a job for a while I called and old employer looking for a reference.  Rather than a reference, he gave me a job.  I am once again a bee keeper for Stephenson Honey Company.  So far we have extracted a lot of honey, gone to Needles, extracted more honey (can I just say how much I hate extracting for days on end?), started melting down all the excess wax and started on a huge construction project.  All of the empty comb after extracting has to be stored in an airtight room where we can burn sulfur to kill off wax moths and other things that will destroy our stuff.  The business is switching the kinds of hives we use so there will now be a lot more comb to store and we don't have enough room to store it all.  As a result, we are building a huge new storage room.  It will be nice when it is finished, I'm pretty excited.

My suit is about shot- the pants in particular have about seen their last church meeting.  It gave me at least 4 years of good solid use so I really can't complain but I was hoping it would hold out until it was time to buy mission suits.  Next weekend I'm planning on going to Provo to buy a new one.

Yes, I am really talking about clothes.  That is how little is really going on in my life.  I might post about the trip after it happens, but other than that I can't imagine anything coming up to blog about.  This means there will be quite a famine of posts for the next while.  Sorry to those of you who check this blog often, there's just not anything to update you on!  If anybody has ideas on what I should write about, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a text/email/other form of contact. 

Oh, and to answer a question I am frequently asked: yes, I do miss West Point- but at the same time it is nice to be away.  My relationship with the Academy has always been a mixed one.  I love the place, and I hate it.  In much the same way I miss the Academy and yet I am glad to be rid of it.  I will definitely be ready to go back in a few years though.
