New job, new semester, new ward, new plans, new year!

So, when making this blog I should consult Genna a bit more. I'm not sure what she'd want to say but I'll try to cover the basics.

Lot's of new things have come to us this month.

- We've gotten a new year, which isn't that exciting except for all the excitement we'll create fopr ourselves.

- We're in a new ward. After a meeting last week the Granite Bay 3rd Ward was dissolved. We've been moved into the Roseville 4th Ward now. I'm sure it'll be cool. We just really loved our old ward so the change hard as always.

- I (Jeff) got a new job! I'm back at Chili's where I worked in 2007. I still know a few faces and I'm excited to be working at all. Now I need a day job and I'll be set. I'm hoping an interview I have next week works out.

- The Spring semester has begun. I'm only in two classes and a lab but I'm actually excited. After this I'll be eligible to transfer to Sac State whenever I want. This is a big deal for me since I've taken the long and winding road through my college experience. (I'll probably have over 110 units by the time I transfer.)

- We have a few plans made for Disneyland this year. Season passes make the plans easier since we're not going to be paying for tickets with each trip. We need to squeeze the life out of these passes!

Well, enough about us. Although I suppose that's what a blog should be about. Until next time, thanks for stopping by!

This is a photo from the photo book I produced last fall.

Wedding Day Workout

So, yesterday was quite a day. Our good friends Eric Davis and Wendy Clement tied the knot. The ceremony was held at the Sacramento Temple and it was awesome.

Genna and I decided to donate our time and talents as a gift to the happy couple. Genna spent the week making the cakes (cupcakes actually) and a large cupcake for the bride and groom. They looked awesome.

I spent yesterday working as their photographer. It was quite an experience. Nevermind the fear of failure when you shoot a wedding. I was mostly nervous about making sure the 11 siblings between both families were happy and able to be in the pictures that the couple wanted. It went great. Eric and Wendy looked great and the families played along well, even when it got cold.

The reception was great too. The hall was decorated by friends and family and looked wonderful. Our friend Melody went up to decorate with me while Genna slaved away over the cupcakes. Then on Saturday Melody slaved away with Genna to get the cakes set up and put  the finishing touches on everything.

The five of us got a quick moment before they rushed off to their honeymoon.

In the end I hope it was everything they hoped for. I still need to get the pictures finished up and back to them for the final review. Right now I'm sure they're not worried about that though.

What an Adventure

I'm not sure what this blog is supposed to accomplish. Other people seem to use them to share all the details of their lives. Maybe I'll do that. Maybe we'll just share the highlights. Maybe the low points too. I guess it's just a chance to stay connected to all the people that we know.

2010

-     We saw a lot of Giants games. Some in person and a whole lot more on TV. This is not an exaggeration. We might have watched upwards of 120 games throughout the course of the season. It ended well so we won't be seeking any counseling services this year.
-     We went camping and then to Disneyland with a group of close friends. What great memories.
-     My sister and her two kids and great husband continue to be awesome!
-     The Robinson side of the family is good, two nieces and nephews that we miss a lot.

2011

This will be a year to remember. We have had such a great 2010 that in some ways it's a bit scary moving forward. This year will be the jumping off point for a lot of new goals and tasks.

-     Genna will start law school this year. I'm lucky to have such a smart wife.
-     I'm looking for work. It's not that exciting to anyone but me though.
-     We'll have our 5th anniversary. We made it this far, I think we can stick it out for an eternity or so.
-     Indiana Jones, our faithful four-legged sidekick will be 5 years old.

So enough about our year coming. I hope we can share the moments with anyone interested in reading this little blog o' mine.
