Just a note

We have fixed our process in that I now have my own account so whenever I post it will correctly identify me as the poster.

When it rains, it pours

I just found out that S5 Wireless is shutting down operations for a while, until they can get some money. Their backers ran out of money due to the economic downturn. Also due to the economic downturn, the companies that were in talks to buy S5 have no money from their parent companies. The companies are still interested, but they have no cash right now.

So I am looking for a job.

Halloween Pictures

Just a quick post with pictures from a Halloween Party we went to on Saturday. Amanda was thrilled to be a spider, as that's her favorite "animal". Unfortunately, we could not find the spider pants. Gwennie had to settle for being a cow, because her princess costume got lost in the mail.

Fifth earliest snowfall on record

At the beginning of September I posted that there might be an early winter. Well, the weather cooperated. On October 12th, the Salt Lake valley received measurable snow in the 5th earliest snowfall recorded (since 1928). This doesn't mean winter proper has arrived. We are still experiencing autumn. It just means things they are a changing.

I didn't post this on a whim. I posted it because the PDO has flipped to it's cool phase. This will likely lead to a cooler climate in the western US and ultimately the world. This is the first time since the 1970s that the PDO has been this consistently negative.

Sorrow and Gratitude

Early in the morning, on October 16th, Jennifer miscarried our 18 week baby boy. It has been a roller coaster weekend. We are deeply saddened by the loss of our son, but grateful for the knowledge we have of the eternal nature of families.
We thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes on our behalf. We have been truly blessed by generous service and heart-felt prayers the past 6+ weeks.
