July

Wow!! July has flown by and I have been extremely busy. This post may or may not be read by anyone. I guess if I get any comments I will know how many people read it or not.
The first week of July my family and I went camping in Escalante National Forest where we pitched our tent and roughed it. The one down fall is that it rained everyday off and on all day. So when it rained we all gathered under the canopy we rigged over the table and played games with each other.
As soon as we got back into town, Michelle and the boys took off for Salt Lake City to visit a few friends. Michelle had a lot of fun even though her trip was only a couple of days.
And when Michelle pulled into the drive way, I repacked the car for our trip to Lake Powell. We stayed four days at Powell and had a blast skiing, wake boarding, and floating on the water toys. Lake Powell is a very beautiful place and I would highly recommend everyone going at least once or twice in their life time.
When we came back home we were tuckered out. So I had to get back to the grind stone and work. My parents took off up to Idaho for my sister's graduation from college. She know has a bachelors degree and we are very proud of her. So since they were gone I had to stay and manage the business by myself, which wouldn't be so bad but every time I am left alone we get swamped and very busy.
The following week my dad and I went down to Las Vegas for the week to attend a real estate seminar put on by Mike Ferry. Mike is a no nonsense kind of a guy. Either you do it or you don't, so you better do it and if you do then you will make money. Sounds simple enough.
Well, that was last week and this is the final week of July. Michelle and my two oldest boys are traveling to go to Education week in Idaho and the boys will go camping with Granpa Bill. Thus, I have the G man and will be having fun with him and still trying to get some business done during the day.
Next week we will be off to AZ for another family trip. I love being in a business that I can take all this time off and yet still work and make a commission.

Tour de France

The Tour de France is amazing to watch especially once you figure out the secret and strategies the teams use. it is not just skinny men in tight shorts pedaling a bike up a mountain, it is pure strategy and technique to finish the race.

Camping at Escalante

Celebrating the Fourth of July a little differently than most by camping in the middle of no where at 9,000 feet. There were no fireworks or sparklers, just family, aspen trees, dirt, a tent, and a good time. Of course you can't go camping without a little rain.
It actually rained off and on all three days. However, it is what you make of the time that counts. So when it rained we just sat underneath the tarp we setup under the table and played cards, talked, and enjoyed each others company. All in all it was a fun three days.
