With all the times I’ve been to SLC this year, I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve seen Mary. Going off to college does that, I suppose. In my dad’s words, Clint looks a little “horny” Clint was so enamored, he just couldn’t hold back! Rosie wanted to get in on the action […]
ClintSWM. Age 23. Occupation: pilot MarySWF. Age 18. Occupation: Student Since Taylor met Clint at Jet U in March 2007, he’s been talking about how he’s wanted to set him up with my sister Mary.

Above is a picture of (a new version of my) trusty silver suitcase. It has traveled with me for over 40,000 flight […]
It makes such a difference when you work with great people, even if only a few. My first day of work, I was strolling by Kay’s desk. She was perusing Zappos, and I sauntered in her cubicle and we began discussing our shoe preferences. (She’s a Merrell lady, while I prefer Keens). Then later in […]
On Sunday, I attended my last week in the Plymouth Ward. I have been serving in the primary and nursery for my tenure in the ward, but really wanted to attend Relief Society for my last week. I’m so glad I did. There was a combined lesson/program on finding JOY in the season through serving […]
A few weeks ago, I had blogged about how I was on a quest for tracking down a DVD copy of the 1983 version of Pirates of Penzance for Lizzie. I looked through Ebay, Amazon, and a host of obscure international media websites. I was able to find a copy, and purchased two ridiculously priced […]
