Simply Amazing...


There are few things in life that will actually take your breath away. One of those was seeing my beautiful wife on our wedding day. Another happened just last week. I have known for over 10 weeks that we are going to have a baby but nothing prepares you for the first time you see your future child. I stood there holding my wife's hand as the ultrastonagrapher waved a wand over her, not so big yet, belly and low and behold this. I still get chills now just thinking about it. It is still very surreal to think that there is a small child developing inside my wonderful wife but I got my first glimpse, my first peak, into my future. The whole process is just a miracle. Thank you God for this!

Truck explodes damaging HWY

I don't know if anyone has gone thru Spanish Fork canyon, Utah hwy 6, but i use it everytime I go home to New Mexico. Or if anyone has gone to Lake Powell from nothern Utah its the same road. Well this semi had some issues and ended up blowing a crater in the road. They say it'll only close the road for 6-8 hrs but come on, this is a 35 ft deep crater possible 60-80 ft wide. No fatalities, maybe minor injuries. Bet that driver will be more careful on mountain curves from now on.
UPDATE: (8/17/05) I never would have believed that a hole this big could be fixed so fast, but less than 2 days after this explosion the highway was fixed and open for use.
