Brian Regan

This guy is sooooo freakin' funny!! He reminds me a lot of Jerry Seinfeld which is saying A LOT! He is coming to St. George in May which of course we have already bought tickets to. If you haven't heard any of his stuff, just watch! You'll laugh so hard!

Surf's Up!!

Success...Finally!!!

I PASSED!!!

I took the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE for short) last Friday. It is a comprehensive, 6 hour, 360 question, gut-busting exam whose content ranges from Cardiology to Neurology to Urology and everything in between. It tested me on everything I had learned during the past two years in PA school at the University of Florida. I graduated from the program on June 21, 2008...

...and took my exam on July 25, 2008. I found out this morning that I PASSED the PANCE!! What a relief!! I am now officially done with my formal training! School is over! No more papers to write for some useless subjective grade and no more studying (cramming) late into the night for an exam the following day! I feel so free right now. I have been in school my whole life; and now, I am officially done!

Now I can start concentrating on really important things like where we will go to dinner tonight to celebrate! Now I can focus on neglected priorities like my golf game and my jump shot! Now I can begin learning how to successfully navigate my dish DVR and PS3. Now I can commence my domination over faceless internet foes on my newly acquired NCAA '09 college football game. Now I can guiltlessly start the countdown to the Summer Olympics and Gator Football! I am free, I am free!

...for now...

Go Gators!!

It Beats 4 U

Who Could See And Not Believe? The Heart That Beats The Wavelength.
And Who Could Say But Never Do. Things They've Said To Someone Who
Thru All That's Been And All Will Be - So In Line So Thoughfully(Lessly)
In Tune With You. So In Time For Me. New Thoughts Arrive. So In Time For Me.
Who Can Count The Time I'm Beatin... With My Hands?
Who Can Stop The Smoke From Breathin... In My Head?
Words Will Come And Words Will Go. Make Believe And Overthrow.
Just Believe And You Can Do.
You Know My Heart - It Beats For You.
It Beats4u - So In Time We Beat. Your Thoughts Align - So In Time With Me

The Great Salt Lake

Back of the boat was painted wreckin' ball
There was country music playing, but he don’t like it at all
And red fire poppin' on the rained-down woody
His whiskey bottle spillin' in a lake that's made of salt

And look out Michael, there's a note on the door
Saying, "Everybody listen, you'll be the next Omaha"
Now, if you find yourself falling apart
Then I'm sure... I could stand... On... the Great Salt Lake

And your old man was but a wishing machine
It’s time that you could spare; now he's getting old
When Billy Lorett had found a watering hole
It’s a place to lay yourself or the heads of coyote
Now, if you find yourself falling apart
Then I'm sure... I could stand... On... the Great Salt Lake

We're following home
We want more
Following home
We all want more

If ever beat down, we know who we are
They know we all want more
If ever beat down, we know who we are
They know we all want more

Why's it so strange when they say that the world's movin upwards?
Why's it surreal when my hands feel they cant roll the dice?
Why's it so great just to wake every day, alive and by your side.
It's a mystery I guess, there's lots of things I cant find.
Its not the way that you look, but your move that catches my eye.
Why's it so soft when the cannons unload on the others?
Why're we so loud when we say it wont happen to us?
Why does my mind blow to bits every time they play that song?
It's just the way that he sings,
Not the words that he says, or the band.
I'm in love with this soul, it's a meaning that I understand.

A Little Catching Up

Here is a picture journal of some of the fun things we've done in the past few weeks......

Gator Baseball......We had to bundle up on this night, it was like 50 degrees outside!! The Mighty Gators took 2 of 3 against LSU over the weekend......sorry Rich :)

Magic Kingdom with Bowen.....

Huge turkey leg....mmmm.......

Dozer Days with the boys.....This was a hoot! Bowen had the time of his life checking out the huge tractors and trucks.....Bryson was just glad to be out of the house.....

Real Florida Alligators......This is a place on the other side of Gainesville called Paines Prairie. There are literally hundreds of alligators in the water and up on the banks. They really don't do much but lay there but they are fun to look at anyway.

Hangin' with Mom & Dad in American Fork at Christmas time.....Hopefully we will be able to move closer soon so we can visit much more frequently.........

Last of all, Shawny B gets attacked by a pack of wild bejan frise puppies......

It's Spring!!!!!!!!

I love spring! We don't necessarily get all four seasons here like most places do but even still, there is a freshness in the air, like everything is being reborn and started back up again.

March Madness is in full swing and the '08 tournament is not disappointing. Even though the Gators won't be three-peating as National Champs (I guess they could still win the NIT?!?) the games have been fun to watch. I had the Stanford Cardinal winning the whole thing...but that dream is now over after getting whooped by Texas last night. Although I am all for the little guy (Davidson), I think the best final four to watch would be UNC, UCLA, Kansas, and Memphis. That's right all #1 seeds, baby.



This morning I made my annual trip to the Gator's practice field while Marie and the boys were at the gym. It was a beautiful day and I had front row seats. It's hard to know just how massive these athletes are until you are right next to them! The play was a little sloppy but I'm sure they will tighten things up before the fall. The Orange & Blue game (which is really just a glorified scrimmage between the offense and defense in the football stadium) is on April 12 @ 1pm EST. And it is now official...the crew from ESPN's College GameDay will be in attendance to kick off their season. With Heisman Trophy winner QB Tim Tebow returning and a slew of talent (albeit young talent) surrounding him, a bunch of returning starters on D, and another great recruiting class, ESPN has the Gators ranked in the Pre-Season top 10.
