At long last, I proposed to Julia! Some important background information you’ll want to know before I tell the whole story: Julia drove down to provo on Jan 10th so that we could spend the weekend together. We like to get out of the apartment, so she suggested we go on a walk. South of…

The Hammonds were kind enough to let me stay for Christmas this year, and I was glad that I didn’t have to go a month without seeing Julia. We drove there on Friday Dec 20 and partied until the 1st. Julia had four siblings in town for Christmas: Connor, Dylan, Tessa, and Pippa. We went…

Julia invited me to come to Oregon for Thanksgiving! Her family and 3 of her uncle’s families got beach houses in Pacific city. We flew out of SLC Tuesday night at ~11pm and arrived in Eugene a little after midnight. On Wednesday we drove from Eugene to Pacific City. Me and Julia’s siblings played lots…

This is now the third week of school, and things are going very well (knock on wood). I have 4 classes: Capstone, Electromagnetic radiation and propagation, Semiconductor devices (with an awesome lab), and Mixed Signal VLSI. I’ve never taken EM radiation and propagation, but I’m a TA for the class :D. So I will get…

Me and Julia went to Oregon! We left on June 22 and came back July 1st. We got to spend lots of time in the car together. Here is what the Hammond’s house looked like. It was so beautiful and green everywhere. We went to the Olympic trials at Hayward Field. I remember when they…

Stephen, Darrell, and I drove up to Lost Crick this weekend to build the Cabin. We framed the walls, put joist hangers on the floor joists (to make the floor less bouncy), and sured up the foundation even more. It was very fun. Lost Crick is beautiful right now except for the absurd amount of…

This Thursday I helped Darrell landscape his property in Spanish Fork. We chopped down ~8 small trees and hauled them to the dump. The house looks way better already (but could still use a remodeling down to the studs). Then on Friday me and Julia tended Lewis and Hallie for a few hours while Darrell…

This week I made 2 gallons of homemade ice cream. It was so yummy. On Thursday I made raspberry and we invited over all the cousins in provo. On Friday, Stephen and Lizzy invited us over for pesto cavatappi (which was to die for). I made chocolate malt flavor ice cream for their family (also…

This week marked the end of finals! I took 3 of my 4 finals on Friday and Saturday, then finished the last one on Monday afternoon. I’ll be working with Dr. Smalley in the lab this summer making volumetric displays. Recently he has asked us to learn how to use our spatial light modulator (SLM),…
