As infrequently as I post on this blog, I figured I should jump on her invitation to fill out this little blog meme so all both of my readers will get to know me better. But since one of those readers is Katie, I guess this one goes out to the other reader.

10 Years Ago: I had probably opened my mission call and was reading about Virginia in an encyclopedia (note, wikipedia was not even a gleam in Jimmy Wales' eye). It's also possible that I was getting ready to go on a date with Trinity McDermaid, my biggest crush at the time.

5 Years Ago: I had recently proposed to my girlfriend Katie (my biggest crush at that time ... come to think of it, she's still my biggest crush). She had just scratched the surface of how angry she could be at one human being (me). I'm thinking we've gotten just below the surface now.

5 Months Ago: I was getting ready for the strangest job switch in my short professional history. I was going to quit one company and work for another just so I could keep doing what I had been doing. I had been working as a contractor through STG for the LDS Church and I was hiring on full-time at the Church.
