We Bought A Zoo.......AND Construction Coming

So, after coming home from work, Jill had just finished rolling the kids into bed with the thought in doing the same herself, at 9 PM. As an insomnia enthusiast, I would hear nothing of it. After a kiss goodnight, I was left to myself. As usual, I tore open the vault and watched a new one, "We Bought A Zoo." First and foremost, I liked it. I'm a sucker for movies that pose a very real issue in life and portray the various methods of dealing with said issue. In the case of this movie, I'd seen and read reviews of the movie being some sort of tree hugger, left wing, global warming extremest feel good movie. I guess, if you're a snotty, crass, self absorbed journalist. The movie was cast well in my opinion, and the plot was believable. Without any spoilers, it is based loosely on a true story surrounding The Dartmoor Zoological Park. I thought it had a lot of character and watch-ability. Plus, and this is a bias of mine, I love animals and that factor was great too. I would recommend this for a mood to watch a dramatic film with a good message. If you've read bad things about the movie being one to skip over, I strongly disagree and recommend giving this movie a night. We Bought A Zoo - 4 out of 5 Stars


*After reviewing that last post, it looks like I'm going to need some major construction on the page. Soon to come!

New Blog Idea

Okay, so I've noticed that sometimes I'm not interesting in sharing the mundane goings of my amazing families little lives and the cute pictures to go along with that. SO! What I've decided is that I'm going to share (along with the momentayr family update)are reviews on movies I found great (or not) as well as electronic devices I've used and played with. Finally, and this is probably the biggest part, my intent is to be regular. IF there is anyone ever remotely interested in being my friend and helping me with this, I'd like people to remind me that it's been a while. This will most likely go to deaf ears for a VERY long time. But, without asking I can't expect. Anyway, thanks!

Huh?

We've lost our following. Rightfully so since we never post anything here.....I'm trying to decide if it's because everyone who knows us already knows. But I KNOW that isn't true. So maybe we'll be able to find something regular here. Griffin reads us his favorite book nearly every night and sometimes during the day too. I'll try and get it recorded and post it up.

As a general update to those who obviously will never read this, I'm looking at another position in Comcast back in Technical Operations as a Supervisor. We'll see how that goes, but they aren't too sure about a "sales guy" coming in and running Techs.....all those years being called "Techie" in Teck Ops and early sales and this is my return.

Jill has started back up at Weber State teaching aerobic classes! So happy, two and they're on the same night. She should really just go open her own place but that's easier said than done. I've had three people in the last week tell me I should open a restaurant! What the? Who knows, maybe I could be the next TRUE Craigos. Insane.

Harley is in "school" again. She's in the neighborhood pre-school twice a week. Next year is Kindergarten and she'll be 5, crazy. Griffin doesn't care about anything but a new sword Jill bought him for his Halloween Costume. He always asks "Daddy, guess what??? NEW SWORD! Hea Hea!" That "hea hea" he does I'm not sure where he learned it but it's awful! When is jealousy supposed to creep into a persons life? My 2 year old is looking to make that answer as young as possible.

Trying out Adobe Contribute demo right now, pretty neat software.  I'm going to try and learn more about Adobe's Suite of software to maybe get ahead in the field a bit.  It's amazing how much people learn in one class.  We have a guy at work that is an Excel WIZ and it makes me a bit embarrassed considering I can run lightning circles around the guy on general computer knowledge but the guy knows his Excel.  We'll see what happens!

My Babies Coming Home!

Jill and the family have been in Idaho the last few weeks with Grandpa and Grandma and they've had a lot of fun but now it's time to come home and I cannot be more excited! I've been by myself the entire time and I was lonely two and a half weeks ago.  Now we'll finish getting the house ready to sell, two weeks away!
