.....of 2008. Can you believe it? I'm not Billy Nye but I think time continues to speed up as you get older. As you can see, it's been awhile since the last time I stepped in here, alot has happened, but I'm just gonna review the biggies.
First, we spent Thanksgiving with the other Heaps. It was alot of fun and the food was killer by Mrs. Sue and Brittany.
I turned 24 this month and Britt through me one crazy b-day party. She took me too lunch at Training Table(my favorite) in Layton, then we went to the gateway in SLC and she bought me one of the 3 shirts in Utah that fits my giraffe body. Then she surprised me with Jazz tickets to the game that night, so we walked over to that and watched them get flushed down the toilet by Orlando. Then we slept at the other Heaps that night and they cooked me a big b-day dinner the next day. The other Heaps gave me a space heater for our little house and then we took off back to Logy. When I walked in the door to our house, there was a lovesac in our living room, that wasn't there before. How about that? It was sweet! Isn't she somethin?
The night of the 23rd me and the wife had our own little Christmas because we were planning on heading to SLC for Christmas Eve and Day. So that night we first hit up the movie 7 pounds, which if you havent scene yet and are not currenlty a donor, you will be walking out of the movie v
olunteering organs. We then delivered some presents we had bought for some less fortunate kids that Brittany knows at the elementary school she works at. There were 2 brothers and we bought them each a nerf gun, and then gave their family some un-used wedding gifts and some hot chocolate! ha It was about 8 at night when we went to drop off the goods. I ran up alone to their apartment to drop them and as I was sneaking up to the door I could here them in their living room. Just as I was ready to set the presents down, their motion light detected my skinnyness and shone like the sun. Frightened, I paniced and dropped one of the presents. It made a large crash. For fear of being discovered, I set the presents in a hurry, knocked twice and turned to run. I had taken not more than 3 steps when I heard the door open! I did not look back, but continued to run like a deer. I hid on the side of 
their house, while britt waited in the warmth of our car. They are a Latino family, and we could here the 2 boys answer the door and start talking in spanish. Britt said the heard the kids saying "Santa" over and over again. After 3 or 4 minutes, they finally closed the door. So I took off running towardsour car. Having just snowed about a foot that day, it made this running task more difficult than usual. About half way to the car and running near light speed, I hit a patch of ice, lost all control and tumbled to the icy earth. In an attempt to look as un-stupid as possible as the wife watched on, I rolled 2 or 3 times on the ground, popped right back up in full stride, jumped in the car and sped away. It made us feel good, the little that we could do for somebody else this christmas.

We spent the night at Britt's parents house Christmas Eve and had a heap of fun with their family. Then christmas day we headed over to the other Heaps and spent the day with them.
We are now back up here in Logan. Yesterday we took our 7 foot sled out for a little ride. After riding down a couple hills, we went to a huge parking lot at USU and tied the sled to the back of our car and pulled each other around! It was sweet. Brittany wouldn't let me pull her any faster than 3 mph.....ha. 
And last but not least, too all of you yound married couples.......how early do you go to bed? If I didn't know better, I would say me and the wife are 85 years old. I used to be able to roll until the wee hours of the night, now when 9.....9:30 rolls around i start putting on my jams and fluffing my pillow. We are in bed almost every night by 10:30. If you can relate, bless you.
That's all I've got for now. Until next time, Go Utes this friday and Happy New Year to the world.
