TAXES/Volunteering
Hey Everyone, just thought you'd like a real update on our lives. Not some fluff like Heather's been giving (just kidding hon, its good stuff).
This semester is quickly winding down to a close. I am still looking for a post-graduation FT job/career. Currently my best bet is with the IRS, but I still need to take a test for them.
I've been volunteering A LOT for the volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) program at BYU. With training and actual volunteering I've volunteered a total of around 74-75 hours throughout this semester. By the end of this week though I'll have 6 more. I am tooting my own horn a little bit here, but it goes to show even though you have a part-time job, full-time education, you can still make time for volunteering. Volunteering has been mostly good and has kept me pretty entertained during the time I am volunteering, but hasn't had a real big good feeling on me. And it may not. I am not volunteering for the glory of men, or the glory of God really, just because its important to give back and I feel like I am doing that a little bit by getting a bunch of people money.
If you haven't got your taxes done yet and you need help doing them let me know SOON so I can do it with the software we have. This is the last week for VITA, although I'd still be happy to help you in general. Most likely you'll get a refund so it is beneficial to do your taxes.
Heather has been practicing and playing in a concert for the Orchestra at Temple Square and was gone pretty much all last week. I use to weigh 250 lbs. but now I only weigh 150 from lack of eating real meals. Thanks for cooking for me Heather!
We've been geocaching a fair amount when the weather is nice and went and saw "Monsters vs. Aliens in IMAX 3-d this past weekend which was enjoyable.
Other than that we have a bunch of fun picture we've never shown on this blog or elsewhere, but Heather's computer crashed which had all the pictures on it, and is still being worked on so hopefully real pictures on this blog soon instead of these google images.

Google it Part 2
As Heather and I were driving up to Salt Lake yesterday to see Romeo and Juliet I was reading The Westing Game (don't read the whole thing wiki article if you want to read a fun mystery book to figure out) to Heather and we came upon the word "Hassock". Which Heather or I didn't know the definition of. So I decided to google text it. "Define Hassock". The result Google text gave me..."Glossary: hassock: ottoman: thick cushion used as a seat Source: wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn" So apparently not only will google text give you directions, but a glossary as well! They however don't give you recipes (We tried google texting "recipe for vegetable lasagna" on the way home), but will give you everything mentioned here: http://www.google.ca/mobile/sms/index.html
