This weekend I tried to improve my skills in being a handyman. In calling these actions skills that would be the wrong word. I was building a cabinet for our new baby bathroom and thought that I built it correctly. After I had placed the plugs in the wall I was pretty confident I would be done sone. As I was putting this masterpiece on the wall it broke in my hands. I was pretty bummed out because I spent a few hours building it and I couldn't fix it.
Lindsay will probably be building stuff from now on. I think I want to take some classes on how to become a better Mr. Fix it.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Some of my longtime friends may remember that I had a "Quote of the Day" on my voicemail for a long time. I took if off for lack of material but I think I want to start to do it online. I hear these cool quotes and want to pass them on. Plus it helps me remember them. Today's quote is:
. Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do practice?"
Please send me some cool quotes that I can add to my blog

Church Today
I am going to try to write every Sunday so I can remember what I learned in Church. I have a terrible memory and anyone that knows me could probably tell you that so by writing I can remember things easier.
We spent time last night with Kolter and Lindsey Eager. We didn't get to prepare for our 12-13 year old lesson until this morning. We had a big class today and it went well. When we first started teaching the class a year ago we had a hard time keeping everyone quiet. It was a battle to get thru class and felt like no one wanted to listen. After a while throughout the year they became better listeners and participators. This was due to Lindsay's stern enforcement of the law. Thank goodness because I think I am a pushover.
We had a good class today and taught about Lorenzo Snow, the fifth president of the church, and his background. I used to not always look forward to class because of the difficulty in teaching but now I get excited to teach and it is fun teaching with Lindsay. She is a good teacher and shows me things that she has learned at school about teaching.
In Sacrament meeting we had a great meeting about Mothers. Myself along with the Elder's Quorum sang the Mother's song "Love is Spoken Here". It is pretty cool to see 40 men singing a song about their Moms. The Sunday school children also sang a Mother's day song. It was cool.
We also had a great lesson about Forgiveness. I think that I always can improve on this and forgive everyone because I definitely want to be forgiven for all of the dumb things that I do.
We came home and watched one of Lindsay's favorite movies.... Dead Poets Society. This inspired me to write today. Oh yeah. I also got Lindsay some chocolate, a necklace, teddy bear and The Dead Poets Society for her birthday.

Work Update
Things have been going well at work and we are having some major success. May is going to be a great month (because it is Lindsay's Birthday month. We have been starting to work with some people in the Petroleum industry and are having success there. We just last week signed up some Gas Stations to do there processing. It will be a fun niche to get into because they are loyal clients and will stay with us a long time. Dean and I have taken allot of trips to Kingman and back servicing these clients and getting a crash course in the industry.
We have been blessed with some great things happening in our business. We have done over 35 accounts the last 3 months and are due to hit around 50 this month. We are also in the process of looking for an office manager. We have been so busy that we don't have time to call back all of our clients so we need to hire someone to help us with our paperwork. For now Lindsay is going to help us out because she has just finished with school.
We have also gotten adjusted in our new office in Gilbert. We are almost in downtown Gilbert about 5 miles from our house. I like the area and the rent is relatively cheap. The place has never had tenants and just remodeled so the carpet and everything is new. It also gives us allot of room to grow because it is pretty big.
