Hmmmmmmm……Yes, it has been a crazy week. About a week ago I broke to the news to Glad that I was done with trying to make things work. It was odd, we were clicking, and everything was going good. Went to Ikea to buy a dresser for the kids and what not. The way back from Ikea I told Glad that I wasn’t happy, and was giving up on things. It was an odd day for sure. Week later, I’m much happier. We still see each other, and hang out. Just giving each other space, and taking a step back from things. We agreed to do the whole separation thing for a bit and see how things work out.

Week ago, I was so stressed and ready to kill. Between work, stresses from Glad, and the kids. I was not happy, and having a very hard day. Took Saturday off from work, and just had an amazing day with Ben, and one of his friends. Saturday was so much needed. It gave me a change to get my head on straight, and relax for a bit.

I found out yesterday that my Secret Security Clearance with the government was approved. Just a relief!!!!

Working just a half day to take James to an doctor appointments up at the U. So I better get out of here.

with updating this damn thing.

But I have a good reason. I ordered a dedicated server with Core Networks. Here is some more detailed information of my server.

Needless to say that I’m really happy with it. Very snappy and quick then the previous hosting company. So yeah I’ve been slow at updated as I’ve been playing around with my server getting it all up and going.

Kids start school on Monday. I’m excited, but yet I’m not excited. School means, fighting with Jayden over homework. Anyway…

Camping was a great, along with the weekend. I had Thursday and Friday off from work. Relaxed Thursday morning and took my time getting ready. Was out the door at around 11pm, headed on over Jim’s place. Get there, went to Walmart, Arbys, and loaded everything up in the truck. We then started our way on up to Causey Res. We had to take 2 cars since everyone wouldn’t fit in Jim’s truck.

SOOOOO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! 24 hours from now I’ll be camping with Jim, and Jen. Jen decided to fly into SLC, instead of driving into SLC. Me and Jim are gonna go pick her up from the airport. Hit the bar up for some pool and beer. I think the plan for tomorrow is meet up around noon, and head on up to Causey Res. Boat into some random place, and camp there. I’m super excited, should be a good time. I haven’t done any camping in over 2 years. I’m super excited to have the next 2 days off from work. I have Thursday and Friday off from work. I plan on posting a bunch of pictures when I get back.

I think I need to come up with a logo for the top of this page. Add some spice and color to the site.

So over the weekend, I decided to buy a new 40″ LCD TV. I ended up getting a Samsung Tv from Best Buy. I must say that I’m very happy with the TV. I went with Samsung cause I have two Samsung LCD monitors on my computer for about 3 or 4 years now. I haven’t had any issues with them.

I went with a cheaper TV, and also brought a Playstation 3.

Other events over this past week. I decided to be a crazy nice guy, and after work on Friday. Me and Glad drove from Orem, to Evanston, and then to Layton to drop the kids off at Justine’s. It was about 3 1/2 hours of driving. Left Orem at 6pm, didn’t get home till 9:30pm.

I was also pretty sick this past week. I ended up missing a total of 3 days from work. Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. I’m finally getting over this damn sinus head cold. Thank goodness, it was getting old.

I should find out in the next few weeks on how everything is going to pan out with DPG. Things here at Verio have gotten so silly and stupid. I’m ready to turn this page in my life, and move on. I’ve learned so much from the place, and love the co-workers. Just a shame that the new management had to fuck these up. If things don’t work out at DPG, I’ll just keep my chin up, and actively work for another job.

So Wednesday I dumped over a grand into my car. Got new tires, new front struts, and an alignment. Car seems to ride much better. I guess it better after dumping a grand into it. I still need to do a full brake job, and think about rear struts. My brakes are warped pretty bad right now.

I must say that my July 4th weekend was great. I did have work on Friday and Saturday. Friday after work, went on over to my brother’s for some drinks. Saturday, he invited us out to party with some old friends. Good drunken times both nights. Nothing insane by any means, just really laid back and relaxing.

Sunday, (July 4th) we left the house by 10am to get on up to Evanston. Once we got up to Evanston we stopped to grab some smokes. 30 bucks a carton. SCORE! A carton is SLC is now costing 50-60+ a carton. I ended up getting 2 cartons. Got to Becky and Deans and gave Jayden his birthday presents. He loved both the mp3 player, and the cell phone.

We packed up the guns, and went on out to the usually spot. We popped off atleast 200 rounds of 9mm, and 100 shotgun shells. Good times for sure. Something about shooting skeet I just love. Once we were done with that. I grabbed some blueberry beer, and had some bbq hamburgers. Did I mention that the weather in Evanston was AWESOME!!!! Once the sun set, we had to throw our sweaters on. During the day was perfect. I’m guessing it was in the low 70′s/upper 60′s. In the evening it dropped down to the low 50′s.

Dean had some fireworks, and I ended up buying a few fireworks. The fireworks were great. No loss fingers. Glad did had a firework go off about a foot away from her head. Come about 11pm, we called it a night. We were beat, and still had to drive back to SLC.

Overall a great weekend. I had both Sunday and Saturday off from work. Tomorrow I have off from work. I need to dump a bunch of money into my car. I’m guessing about 800 bucks. The bulk of that being tires, and an alignment. I think I have some front end issues going on. I was told about a year ago that I need a strut mount bearing. I was quota about 100 bucks for that part/labor.

I don’t want to dump so much money into my car, but it needs to happen. I also need to get rid of the lizard. I just don’t have time for taking care of the lizard.
