So I’m sitting in the Buffalo, NY airport with my family waiting to board a plane home. We’ve been here visiting family for the last 2 weeks. It rained for the first few days, but there after it’s been pretty nice. It is always interesting to get out of the Utah desert and back east where there is no lack of greenery. People in Utah just don’t understand the lack of trees and grass that exists in Utah. Don’t get me wrong, I love the beauty of the Mountains and landscaping. The more I travel out of Utah, the more I realize I do love it there. However, its always funny to get a new perspective on grass, trees, bushes, and lush vegetation.

It’s been good for my boys to see my wife’s side of the family as well. They talk to them from time to time on the phone, but they rarely get to see them and spend time with them. I enjoy my wife’s family. They are caring people that enjoy my kids and wife. That is important to me. It’s just unfortunate that we can’t live in a place where both families are closer. With family in Utah and New York, I don’t think a place like that exists. We are just very fortunate to have been blessed with enough means to come and visit when we want to for the most part. We took some good pictures so I’m sure Jennifer will do a blog post with them. You’ll be able to see them on the Family blog. They aren’t there yet, but check in the next few days.

So now it is back to Utah, back to work (on Monday) and back to school. I’ve got a mid-term exam on Friday in my MBA coursework. The class is Business Information Systems, which, funny enough, is my career. However, I will probably get the worst grade so far in this class, and it is my field of work. It’s just comical that we are reading a text book (2 years old minimum) to learn about technology that changes so rapidly. Anyway…done complaining. I’m
