Jeff Update


Hey,
I am not too good at this blog thingy, but I thought I would just let the world (well those that read this) know what's up with my life.

Things are really busy and hectic, with going to school full time, working whenever I am not at school, and then trying my best to be a great dad and husband.

I am only in my first year of school, (i decided to take a few years off after high school, to go on a mission (New Zealand) and then work for a year after that.) So i have five years of schooling ahead of me. I attend the University of Lethbridge. Majoring in Kinesiology, and in Pre Education. I am hoping after everything is all said and done, to be a Physical Educator. (fancy name for Gym Teacher). I am actually enjoying being a student.

When I am not at school, I work for a company called Kodiak Mountain Stone, for those that have no idea what company that is, and interested in what it is... kodiakmountain.com I worked for them when I first got home from my mission. I was just a labourer at first, making the stone, and then I worked my way up to being supervisor/manager. Then out of the blue we got told that the factory was getting shut down. It just wasn't making enough money, hard to get workers, and the canadian dollar was doing amazing... They pulled me aside after they told everyone that they were going to get laid off (about 35 workers) and asked if I would stay with them, and operate/run a distribution warehouse for them out of Lethbridge, and they would just ship the stone to me from the factory that we already had running in Utah. So I have been with them since. I am their only employee, and I distribute stone to all of Western Canada. I guess my job is pretty important. I work part time during fall/winter, (not too busy, people aren't building houses in the winter), and then full time in the summer. It's crazy busy in the summer.
I enjoy it, and its great not having to worry about looking for a summer job every summer, I will be working for them all five years that I am in school.

And as to being a husband and dad... Wouldn't want it any other way. Megan and London are the greatest things that have ever happened to me. I love being a dad.

So I guess I should stop writing now, probably boring you all. (if you even read it all, most probably read the first couple lines and then skipped the rest... haha)
