Things I do as an Uncle

I have been slacking on the blogging but not much to really blog about except well, Wimbeldon is on right and Federer is playing awesome. I love not really working cause I can watch all the matches, PTL for the Tennis Channel and ESPN2.
I did run a relay race last week, the Ragnar Wasatch back. It was a last minute decision as my friend Dixie and her family had a spot open up. It was 188 miles in length, 11 teammates and 3 different legs. I loved it and am looking at running one in September down in southern Utah - that is if I am still on the continent.


Other than that I have just been enjoying being an uncle and playing with my niece and nephew. The other night she was painting her nails and well she just loved doing it so much that I offered to let her paint mine. I know, I did say that I offered, but again, the things you do. That was three days ago and with no nail polish remover in the house, I have been sporint glittery green toe nails. I completely forgot about them the other night and went down to Albertsons to buy some groceries. I wore flip flops and now I can understand why some punk high school kids snickered as I walked past them. But you know what, I will wear this colour proudly until I find the remover cause Taylor truly did a fantastic job!

Utah for Now

I have been in Utah now for a week. My sister from Canada and three of her four kids are here visiting and we have been having a blast. The weather has been pretty crumby so rock band, movies, games and eating have helped us through the days. We have been able to hit the Hoogle Zoo in Salt Lake. I was really anticipating Jesse jumping into one of the animal cages but instead he just disappeared on us for a few minutes - we all know that feeling of misplacing a child dont' we. Meg and the kids leave tomorrow, it will be sad to see them go but, yes there is a but. The kid total will go from 7 down to 4, woohoo!
I am going to be here in Utah with my my other sister and her family for the summer. I do plan on starting my online audiology classes through Utah State at the end of August. I also am looking into teaching english in South Korea. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I will know what is available. That will be a year contract and just be perfect for when I plan on grad school. I am looking into the University of Utah and Arizona State University. For the summer I plan on hiking, playing with my niece and nephew, seeing old friends and dreading the GRE, but I need to get that checked of the list!
I am pretty excited for what the next few months will bring!
