It's been a long time...

My life is a little different than two months ago, it has been a roller-coaster. I started a job with England Logistics at the beginning of September as an analyst. What do I do? The company is very much into reports and numbers, so my main responsibility is to create reports and and manipulate data. Microsoft Access and Excel have become my two best friends. I have learned a surprisingly great deal about Access, which is cool I think, because it is a very powerful tool. England Logistics is a subsidiary of C.R. England, the trucking company. No relation to the country. It is a good job, and I am so grateful to have a job, though I have not forgotten that my real desire is to teach at a university. I see this as another step my education.

I also moved into my new home this weekend, in the Sugar House area. My roommates are great guys, really I have been blessed. I love living near the mountains, especially driving down the 215 in the evening or night because you have a great view of the valley. My ward is great as well, I have already met a few BYU-I Alumni.

I went on a hike last weekend with Sandy, so here are a couple pictures, it is a place called the wind cave, up Darby Canyon just east of Driggs.


This is the cave behind us, it starts out huge but you don't have to go very far before you are crawling through some tight spots.


There is a waterfall that comes out of the cave, which is huge in the early spring, so big it can make it impossible to get into the cave. Since we were there so late in the year it was nothing more than a trickle. The cave is just above and behind the edge you see the water coming over.
