Hey Family

I couldn't find a recent picture of shaun and I, other than wedding pictures from a year ago, so i thought i'd post a picture of the wonderful temple that shaun and i get to go visit in D.C. Isn't it so beautiful? Things here in VA are going really well. Shaun started his masters program at JMU this week, he's teaching early morning seminary, and he's working part-time at the university. He's really busy. I'm working for a company called Mast Landscapes. Most of the time I'm a gruntworker on a crew with a bunch of guys....it's not my favorite thing in the world to do, but it is very satisfying to see the transformations you can make to somebody's yard after a full day. The people I work with are really nice though. The full time guys are all married and have kids, it makes it a little bit more comfortable. They are also very religious and I hardly ever hear them swear ( a stark contrast to most of the redneck gruntworkers to be found in the landscape industry, so I got really lucky). I enjoy doing design work the most and hopefully I'll start to get to do more of that in the future. Other than that there isn't a whole lot going on. I sure do enjoy this little blog thingy though, it's so nice to be able to communicate with my family...keep the stories coming. Love you all
