Colt n' Maggie Introduction

This is the first posting on our new blog. We hope that it will help us keep in touch with some of our family and friends that live far away...or that we are just poor at connecting with.

To just give you a little update on us we are now living in the Sugar House area of Salt Lake City, Utah. We have a great apartment and really love our ward. We attend the Forrest Dale Ward in the Granite Stake. Our church meets in this really amazing old building, that makes going to church a lot of fun. Maggie is going to Westminster College and is studying Developmental Psychology. She just finished her first semester and did very well. She is now doing the "Maymester" program at Westminster that allows her to take 1 upper division class worth two credits for free, that only lasts as long as the month of May. Maggie is studying the psychology of love with her class this "Maymester." She is still working at the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing ,in Taylorsville, as the community education coordinator.

I am working for the State of Utah at the Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ) in Division of Response and Remediation(DERR). The job is fun if not a little slow at times. I am also attending the Police Academy at night. The Academy is hard. The Physical Training(PT) can be brutal. I am getting in a lot better shape with having to do a two mile run that is broken up with doing push-ups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, and air squats all in military cadence. The classes are really enjoyable, and my fellow cadets are a lot of fun to be around. I have been able to come home and practice my arrest techniques on Maggie and whoever else happens to be home, but most people(Maggie included) don't find this as much fun as it sounds.

I hope that this gives you a little update on us and that you will check in often to see how we are doing and let us know how you are. If you have any questions or comments please post and let us know.
