Oh Happy Day!

We Did It! We got married on September 15th, 2007 in the Mesa, Arizona Temple at 3pm. It is interesting to look back and see how things have been. It is even harder to think about the fact that we have been together for almost a whole year. I always figured that I would marry someone, but I never thought that it would be someone as sweet, wonderful, charitable, and beautiful as my wife Dyan Lucile Abbott! She is everything that I wanted and more than I ever expected. I can definitely see myself being in love with her for ever. Thanks to all who came and helped us celebrate. We love you all and appreciate the support. You all made the day even more special.

My Baby... the girl, not the gun!

Ok, I don't know if she can look any sexier than when we are shooting, but I bet it is possible. I am in love with a wonderful girl that I am fortunate enough to share certain fun activities with. One of which is the purchasing and use of fire arms. When we first started dating she asked if she could have my .45 when I died. She is cute when we are out there and she is blowing stuff up. Now for a fun story: A few days ago a co-worker asked me if I would be interested or at least know of anyone who would like to purchase an AK47. I already have one, but the price he gave me was a bargain and a half. I told him that I wanted to talk it over with Dyan first, but that I was very interested. When I asked Dyan about it she told me that she thought it was an awesome deal and that we needed to buy it. What a woman! The greatest thing about it all is that I would still love her even if she had said that she didn't think we should get it. For those of you out there that are not married or getting married to the most wonderful girl YOU have ever met. Get on it friends, it is quickly becoming the best things that I have ever done in my entire life. Love you Babers!

Guilty Pleasures...

Ok, either you get this or you don't but I love The Office on NBC. My father absolutely sees no humor in it at all and says that it is just silly. I have a theory behind this. My father has worked for CES(CHurch Education Systems) for over 23 years now and really does not know how it is to work in a normal office. When I first started watching the show... religiously, I was working with a group of individuals that reminded me of the office and my manager, whom I was not extremely fond of was exactly like Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder-Mifflin Paper Co. Scranton, PA. I think that it was seeing my life in front of me and realizing how funny it was that helped me understand that the only thing to do is laugh about it all and realize that I needed to get a life outside of my work. The past few months have been interesting with the engagement and the wedding planning, but something that has sustained me through it all has been my weekly date nights with Dyan when we just sit back and watch our favorite programs. Before you judge too much let me explain. I love watching movies and TV. I think that Dyan has said it best when she told me that, "Sometimes we just need that escape from our own reality and the down time to stop thinking." What a woman right? Hand off though, she is all mine ;-} I think that with how stressful life can be, it is always nice to have an escape and being able to share that with Dyan has been something that I have truly enjoyed. To all you Office fans out there, I would suggest buying the special Season Three Office Box set. It comes with a Dwight bobble head and your very own "Dundie Award". Well worth it my friends!
