Eric Maynor

The Jazz picked Eric Maynor in the NBA draft tonight. Here's what ESPN's expert Chad Ford says, "I thought they might go with Sam Young here, but I have to admit that I love this pick for the Jazz. They needed a backup for Deron Williams, and Maynor is perfect for Utah as one of the most NBA-ready players in the draft. He has a high basketball IQ and great leadership qualities. The Jazz fill a need and get a guy that I think is the most underrated player in the draft."

Let's hope he's a better backup for D-Will than Brevin Knight was. Speaking of D-will, my neighbor was working out at the Gold's Gym in Bountiful and guess who showed up in a red Ferrari to work out, D-Will himself. Pretty cool.

Happy Fathers Day!

It's a day late, but better late than never.

Funny sayings from dad:

"If she's cute, she likes you, and can put up with your crap, go for it cause it's not going to get any better than that."

"Quit your yarkin!"

"That's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick."

"What is a farm boy from Idaho like me doing here?"

"Overlearn it."-I heard that a lot while I was in school

"I'm so hungry my belly button is gnawing at my backbone!"

"Nudity is nudity, whether it's native or not!"

"Quit stirrin' the cauldron!"

"My teeth are singing 'Anchors Away'."

"We'll get there faster than two shakes of a dead lamb's tail."

"That's like playing tiddly-winks with manhole covers."

Happy Father's day Dad!

Dumber

I think I've gotten dumber. You would think that since I have a Masters Degree in Accounting that studying for the CPA exam would be fairly easy, just reviewing the stuff I learned in my classes. It's not that easy, for me at least. Oh sure, most all the stuff in my review book I saw while I was in school, it's just that I forgot how to do most of it. However, I do come on the occasional chapter of something that I somehow magically remember and I get to breeze through those chapters, but for the most part it's been a struggle.

Goals for Today:
Pension Accounting
Deferred Tax Accounting
Stockholder's Equity
Earnings per share (including diluted earnings per share)
Statement of Cash Flows

I hope you didn't fall asleep while reading that list :)

The Grass is greener

So our Elders Quorum in my singles ward is having an activity with the relief society in another ward. The title of the activity is "The grass is greener..." when they announced this in church yesterday I laughed out loud. Isn't that hilarious? Anyway, last week I was called to serve on the institute committee in my ward. So far it has consisted of setting up and taking down chairs before and after. It's been pretty intense.

Funny Quote of the Day: "If she's cute, and active in the church, I'll marry her next month.''-That was me talking to my friend on Saturday night about dating. I didn't really mean it, it just kinda came out of my mouth and we both had a good laugh.

That quote is eerily similar to some dating advice that my dad gave me a couple of years ago. "If she's cute, likes you and can put up with your crap then go for it cause it's not gonna get any better than that."

Bootcamp

Just completed my first full week of bootcamp without puking! Booyah! I got measured this week and lost 1.5 inches on my stomach, 1 inch on my chest and gained .5 inches on my arms (nice guns)

Quote of the Day

"Salad? Salad is what food eats!"

BYU Football

Jake Heaps (Skyline High School, Issaquah Washington) committed to play football for BYU today. In case you haven't heard of him, he is the #1 rated high school quarterback in the nation. Here is a video from ksl.com if you are interested.

Bootcamp

I didn't throw up at my boot camp training program this morning! This is the first time that I haven't thrown up or even had the inkling to throw up. Looks like I'm making progress!

Camping

So I went to Zion National Park this weekend to go camping with some old friends/roommates from my BYU days. However, in my rush to pack and leave on Friday morning I forgot to grab my camera. As soon as I get some pictures from those who did have cameras then I will post them. Otherwise you can just imagine what it was like. (It was awesome!)
