With the massive increase in gas prices I have had to relearn how to drive. Over the last month I have tried to not speed up and break as much, not take off so fast and have tried really hard to keep my RPM's lower than I used to.
It has worked. I have been getting about 32 to 34 miles to a gallon and before I was getting only about 28 to 29. I have not taken the time to figure out how much or how little this is saving me but I feel good that I am trying to be better.

15 and 8 years ago respectively
15 years ago about this time I was married to my wife for time and all eternity. We had the chance to go to the Temple last Friday night to help fulfill our ward assignment. It was a sealing assignment. It was nice to be able to sit across from my wife and listen to the words that are said in the session. I find it hard to believe that 15 years ago, two young kids were married. It seems like only yesterday. With so many couples ending their marriages in divorce these days, I am so glad to have found Tracie. She is a great wife and a great mother. I am glad that she accepted me for who I am (for the most part) and has put up with me for so many years.
8 years ago as Tracie got out of bed she began to have contractions. We had already been to the hospital the month prior because the baby had tried to come then. After taking a shower and getting herself ready we went to the hospital just in case. Within a couple hours we were the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy. Our son was born on our anniversary. I was so happy that day because I already had a beatiful daughter and now I had a son.

Girls Camp
Last weekend (Thursday through Saturday) I had the chance to be at our church's girls camp. I learned how fun a group of 10 teenage girls can be. We had fun boating, swimming, and just hanging out around the camp ground. They put on some skits on Thursday night and I thought they were very funny. A lot of time was spent by the adult leaders to make sure the girls were safe and had a good time.
It was hot so it was really nice to be right on the lake so that we could jump in.
Our family is camping again over the July 4th week and we are expecting it to be just as hot or hotter.
