Rachel has been saying I need to post on our blog for a long time. I go in the other room to make a phone call and guess what pops up on my screen while I'm away!? So here I am entering the blogosphere..
Rach and I are staying busy, I'm very proud of Rachel, she's doing quite the balancing act right now. She is finishing up her accounting degree this semester (Tuesday, Thursdays) and working 8 hour days Monday, Wednesday, Friday with her new accounting firm Child, VanWagoner, Bradshaw. When I stop and think about how talented she is it really amazes me.
I should probably introduce Rachel to some of my friends who moved away from Provo before we were married. She is from Mesa, AZ. She is the oldest of four children, one sister at BYU (who happens to be dating my lil bro!), a bro in high school, and the cutest 8 year-old brother I've ever seen. Rachel is a great runner, she won the 800 meter run for Arizona in high school, and was all-state jazz choir, and obviously very smart to be an accountant. I know I'm bragging, but she really motiviates me to develop my talents. She is a constant reminder of what hard work can become, she is obedient (to a fault, if that is such a thing). For all of you who know me, you know I'm the opposite. I'm naturally kind of a person who slides by, and normally bend rules, etc.. So she helps me get more to the good side.
Some things most of you will never know about Rachel.. she has a 1000 different voices for different moods, loves to jump in my arms, is always up for a good cuddle (which I'm always willing to do), is a great dancer, and is actually really ghetto.
There's a little info on Rachel, in terms of what I'm up to. I'm working on Imperium Smart Systems, a company that focuses on home automation and home theater. Quick example, we tie in a home's systems. We program it so a homeowner can push a "Goodbye" button on a touch screen and the security system will arm, lights go off, thermostat turns down, and music turns off. The trend nationally is very good for our product, and we've done well in making our self well-known. We won a national Microsoft competition, and I was interviewed today by a writer for USA Today! So that's pretty sweet. It's been a great learning experience trying to create something from scratch, it's ten times harder than I thought it would be, but it has also been very rewarding.
Anyway, for all of those who read this know that I enjoy keeping tabs on you and hope life is joyful! Please keep in touch!
