Differences between MA and UT

Many of you may be wondering how Massachusetts is different than Utah, well here are a few subtle differences:

- The roads in MA are pliable so they have groove indentations from tires

- All the milk here has caps that pop off instead of twisting off

- There are tons and tons of trees

- Steep hills but no moutains

- No skateboarders

- No '25 feet from the entrance of a state building' smoking law

- Fewer lanes and more traffic

- No turning lane...

- No concept of North, East, South or West

- More universities

- More pro-sports teams

- "Shaws" instead of "Smiths"

- Fewer country music stations, but more jazz stations

- Ice storms instead of inversions

- Everything is within an hour's drive

So Lauren and I recently enjoyed conference weekend...but had to watch over the internet, so we dragged our bed into the office to watch in there. Here's some pics:

She's always gone too long, anytime she goes away...

Well, I'm livin' the bachelor life once again. Lauren has gone to California for her friend Kimi's wedding (who traveled to our wedding in Logan, so it's only fair). Lauren will be in Utah the weekend of the 23rd and then back home on the 26th.

Lauren and I bought this camera this last week, so that should help us put some nice pics on here:



...and we also got this china hutch (the picture is not in our apartment...):



In other news...

- we've been toying with the idea of purchasing our own home, but it looks like we won't qualify for the first time homebuyer tax credit because we previously owned our mobile home in Logan.

- I had to toss the 4 million+ brain tumor cells I was growing this last week because they got contaminated...Yup, that means my last two weeks have been a total waste.

- I'm not too happy that my Red Sox lost their first two games to the Angels, but Lauren and her family (who attended the first game together in Anaheim) were pretty stoked about it.
