Hawaii
This year, we got to take Kristin's family to Oahu, HI! It was so fun! We got to snorkel with sea turtles, octopus, and lots of other neat fish. We were there during whale season and got to see some spectacular breeches. We went to a luau, and enjoyed the beautiful beaches. The pipeline was perfect for some competitions, so we went and watched some of the surfing. Erik and Steve tried to surf, too. Gosh, I miss it, already! I was so glad that we got to share that time with my parents and with Erik and Portia. Who ...
Big changes!
We have a little girl on the way! She is due sometime the end of June! We are so excited! The only name Steve and I have agreed on, so far, is Eleanor. So, that will probably be her name. I can feel when she gets the hiccups and Steve can hear her little heartbeat sometimes.
Kristin’s Birthday
I took Kristin to Vegas this year for her birthday. We combined it with a work trip. While in Vegas, we stayed at the Trump International Hotel. This is supposedly a 5 star hotel but I wasn't extremely impressed. The room was very nice but it wasn't what I expected. One warning about the Trump Hotel is that they will nickel and dime you. Once you pay your room rate, there's also a "Resort Fee" that you have to pay. The Hotel was nice but it was about 3/4 mile from the strip. It made for a long walk. We went ...
This year’s travels
This past year has been a busy, wonderful one! We have had so much fun! We went to Disneyland for Kristin's birthday. We thought it would be fun to do before we have children. We also go to go to Montreal, last fall, through Steve's work. We went to cooking school for a night and made crepe's! Our flight was canceled due to weather. Instead of spending our money that night at a hotel we spent it on a late night cruise along the Hudson River! In April, we went to Oahu, Hawaii! We went snorkeling, to a luau, to the Polynesian ...
Graduation, again!
I've done it again. This time I graduate from the University of Utah with a Masters of Science in Finance. This is my third graduate degree and this is one that I enjoyed the most. I enjoyed my last graduation so much that I decided to do it again. Everyone should go to school! What's next? Rest? Vacation? No! It's time to cram for the CFA Level 2 exam. After that, the GMAT. What did you expect? I'm a perpetual student. If I'm fortunate enough, a PhD will be in the future, Kristin be willing. :-)
Festival of Color
Kristin and I just got back from the Festival of Color in Spanish Fork. It was a celebration at the Krishna Temple, where people gather and throw color at one another. I'm guessing there were about 8,000 people there, all sober, ready to party. Color was being sold in $1 bags and $2 bags, with the $2 bags coming from India. Everything was fine and dandy until 6pm came around. That's when the official celebration beings and people start throwing color. At the very beginning it was chaos, with people throwing their color all ...
Finally, an update…
We've finally taken the time to update our page. Steven has been too busy with work and school to write anything meaningful and Kristin is always exhausted after teaching her classes. We've added some background information for Steven and Kristin as well our dating and engagement stories. We hope it allows you to learn a little more about us. As time goes on, we will try and write more. Our lives are very blessed and we want to share our experiences with you.
CFA Level 1 Results – I Passed!!!
Back on December 1, 2007, I took one of the hardest exams that I have ever taken. The CFA exam is like taking everything you know about business and finance and putting it in an exam. I only passed Level 1 and have two more levels to go. After coming out of the testing center, I did not feel like I passed. Everyone that I spoke with at the testing center was pessimistic about the exam. Now it's on to study for Level 2. That test date is June 7, 2008. It's a stressful time ...
