Britta and Mom and Dad went on a tour of the fab and the process. I am what is considered a Field Service Engineer. Here are some interesting facts on what I do.

I guess when you list them all I realize how ruff my job really is. Though I love my job and would not want to be doing anything else. I work with great interesting and intelligent people. I have learned a lot and keep learning new things every day. There has been a lot of opportunity here for me. It is extremely amazing to have the most advance fab in the world right here in utah. Here is a short video of exactly what our fab does.

Eventful Day

Today was very eventful and fun. We went to Boondocks with some of the people from Singapore that had been working with Mike. They are leaving on Saturday to go back to Singapore, so we thought it would be nice to take them out before they left. It was a blast. We got a 3 hour unlimited pass and did everything. The bumper boats are the best. Mike and I got soaked. Laser tag was also fun, and I think I did really well, but of course Mike was always popping out of nowhere to shoot us.

We also went and saw Wall-e today. That movie is so cute. We absolutely loved it. Finding Nemo is still better, but it beats all the the other pixar movies in my opinion. It's definitely a must see, and when it comes out a must buy.

Then the best part of the day was when we went to Mike's parents to see baby Brody. The little guy is so adorable. I can't wait to have one of my own. There is nothing like holding a baby. I imagine that being parents is the best thing in the world. But until we have kids of our own, we will continue to spoil our Niece and Nephews.

New to the blogging world.

I am new to the blogging world, so you will have to bare with me as I get used to everything.

Mike and I have been enjoying our summer. On our days off you can usually find us at my in-laws swimming in their pool. Last Saturday we stayed out in the sun so long that even with sun screen on we ended up getting extremely burnt. We both blistered and Mike had to take a couple of days off of work because he was in so much pain. I work at home so it wasn't very hard for me to work.

On Monday my sister in-law had a baby boy. His name is Brody and he is the cutest little thing. What a great addition to the family and to our Nieces and Nephews. We now have two Nephews, Noah and Brody, and one Niece, Frank.

I am addicted to So You Think You Can Dance. So you might see a lot about that on here until it's over. I have already picked who I want to be in my top 4. I want Twitch, Kherrington, Joshua, and Katie to be in the top 4, but I haven't picked who I want to win the whole thing yet.

We don't have alot to report at the moment, but when we do I will be sure to let you know. I will add pictures to the profile soon. Happy blogging.
