Update! (More text you can read.) : )

Well, here's the latest (other than the upcoming baby) that is going on in our house!

Well, a while back while Phil was sitting in his office that was at the World Financial Group Building, taking care of their mortgage loans for thier clients, (but with no mortgages to do at the time) He thought to himself..."What ever happened to wanting to have (his) own recording studio?" So he decided that with nothing better to do that day, he would just get back on board with that. He e-mailed all the Recording Studios he could find on the Wasatch Front to see if any of them would respond, and give him some helpful tips. He got a response from 2 of them. One was http://www.noiseboxstudios.com/ and Dave Zimmerman (The one who runs it) actually invited Phil down to spend some time with him (3 Hours!), talking about the studio, and the program that Phil was interested in enrolling in down at BYU. It was a really good experience for Phil. So after that, he decided that he would apply to BYU, and start heading in that direction with his Career. He found a job that would move him closer to BYU at The Professional Education Institute which was at 24th South and Bangeter, (http://www.thepei.com/) even though he would have to commute until Misty was done with the school year and they could move to SLC or inbetween SLC and BYU. So he got that job and absolutely loved it (minus the commute). He was working there, and then one of his clients that had a couple investments with him, and he used to work at Sierra RV http://www.sierrarv.biz/ with, told Phil that there was an opening as a finance guy at the dealership, and asked if Phil would be interested in applying for the position, Phil said "Sure" and had an interview there. The Manager obviously knew Misty from when she worked there as a receptionist, and Phil's client had been talking him up to the Sales Manager and General Manager. And they offered Phil the Job! He has been working for 5 days now. It's in Sunset (which is obviously better for the commute) and the income should be great! Phil thinks he will be there for quite a while, and he is now just trying to see how the Recording Studio could fit into his new re-vamped plan! Misty is also really excited that he got the job, and now is "Working in her shadow." She is also really glad that they won't have to move further south into SLC or even further south than that.

Misty's Head Start job is going great! Most of the days she comes home tired, but she loves working with the kids, and has tons of fun at work. She has a lot of funny stories to tell Phil almost every day when she gets home. She will miss it greatly when she quits to be a full-time Mommy, but there is nothing in the world that will hold her back from doing that!! She is planning to finish off the school year, and maybe help through the summer (for that wonderful Health Insurance Maternity Coverage!) but after that beautiful baby comes, she is out of there.

That's the update from our home!

So, Phil, you got to go to Noisebox, eh? Dave's a nice guy. This last year a friend of mine was recording her own CD there and asked me to do some of the bass and guitars on the tracks. He's got a pretty good setup for just having it in his basement.
You'll have to keep us all informed on how it goes trying to let Misty allow you to dedicate the entire basement to music recording. :)

So will you guys be moving closer to us in a year?!!?!?!?! I would love having you guys closer. Then Misty and I could play mom together. Speaking of playing, when are we going to get together again and double?

I think you should come to BYU and be closer to us! My only advice is to make sure you have insurance for a while after the baby is born You never know what can happen.
