Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

Every morning I listen to KBull 93 while I am getting ready for the day. Well, for the past few days they have been playing the "Are you smarter than my 4th grader?" where one of the Dj's has his daughter ask a question and people call in to see if they can answer it. The question was, "What do former Pres. Bush (the son), Robert De Niro, and Uncle Kevin have in common? (Kevin being the girl's uncle, the dj's bro-in-law).

So this has been the question that has been on the past few mornings because no one was getting it. Well this morning as I was driving to work, they played it again and so I called in and got it right! WAHOO! I won tickets to the Days of '47 rodeo.... pretty cool for someone that doesn't typically win things like this.

What do you think they all have in common?

The Price of Freedom

Gearing up for the fourth, I thought that I would share something that a friend posted on facebook and his family's blog. He served in Iraq a few years ago and that is when he wrote this. So, go here if you want to read it. I know Matt from the accounting program at BYU, as well as he is related to someone I'm related to... :)

Update & Good Friends

So, it has been awhile since I posted anything. Life is going well. I've been really focused on working and studying for the CPA exams. Update: I took one exam at the end of May. I got the results last week. To pass I needed a 75. I got an 84! It was pretty exciting to see that!
I have 3 more exams to take: on July 8th, July 29th, and August 29th. That's right, the "summer o' fun" is what I am calling it. :) I will also be moving after the July 8th exam, you know, just to throw some excitement into the mix.In other areas, I will be participating in the Freedom Run (5k) as part of Provo's Freedom Festival on July 4th. I'm not much of a runner, but one needs to start somewhere, right? A week later, in the midst of moving, I have tickets to go to a John Schmidt concert in Sandy. I'm excited about that. Since seeing his video on youtube for the "Love Story meets Viva la Vida" I'm officially in love with his music! Nothing I love better than awesome piano music!

I also get to spend 3 days at Bear Lake in August with some friends. I cannot fully describe how excited I am for this! It will be nice to just chill.

Finally, a very good friend of mine, Emily Thevenin, wrote an article that was published in the July Ensign. Check it out here. She truly is an inspiration to me. Love you Em!
