Walk This Wade and see what's been on my mind

Great day...

2009-03-28T13:05:00.000-07:00

It's a beautiful day in Sunny Arizona. Jali had her last soccer game today(thanks goodness). She was on a team of 3 girls and 1 boy and every other team they played had 3 or 4 boys and 1 girl. It was ugly every week.

Another pick...

2009-03-27T18:32:00.000-07:00

I got my Villanova pick correct. Today I'm going with the Kings at home over Memphis, I think I'll get it right.

Today I chopped down the pony wall on my kitchen island and put one big flat counter top in it's place. I love it, it's so much better. My neighbor Dave helped me do it, he's an awesome guy.

My pick

2009-03-26T17:22:00.000-07:00

Today I picked Tiger Woods to shoot 69 or higher.... bad pick! Now I'm going to pick Villanova to beat Duke tonight, like I said I'm terrible at this thing. If anyone has any advise please let me know.... I want to win the million :).

Fantasy Baseball draft is tonight, this is one of the best days of the year. I think I'm going to be heavy with Cub players again this year... we'll see how far that takes me.

It's my mom's birthday today, Happy Birthday mom, you are the BEST!

Streak for the Cash

2009-03-25T07:33:00.001-07:00

On espn.com right now there is a game called streak for the cash. Basically you just have to pick who will win between two different teams and if you pick the correct winner 27 times in a row you win 1 million dollars. Well, I've been playing this game consistently all this year and the longest winning streak that I've had is a whopping THREE. It's pathetic, I really need a new strategy on this thing, does anyone have some advise? I picked Orlando to beat Boston tonight (Orlando is at home).

I watched the Jazz beat the Rockets last night, they played really well for the most part. I was thrilled to see that Harpring is out of the rotation. It actually gives me hope that they might do something this year. We'll see how they do against the Suns tonight on the road. Two nationally televised games in a row, I don't think Amber is going to be too thrilled about that.

March is great

2009-03-24T08:36:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy this time of year from a sports perspective. March madness, Spring training, fantasy baseball and the NBA season is finally winding down. The Aggies had a great season but Cinderella's shoe didn't fit again this year (heartbreaking). My fantasy baseball draft is this thursday, I'm preparing myself and I think it's my year. The Jazz are being the Jazz. The Cubs are going to win it, I promise.

Amber and I are getting the house ready for the new baby. We are so excited to have another little girl in the house. Jali and Jack have been great, we've really started to find our groove as a family but I'm pretty sure we are going to lose our grove come April 6th. We haven't decided on a name, Amber likes Jane and Gretchen and I like Sienna. Apparently I don't get a say in the matter this time around so I'd guess that she will be named Jane. I told Amber that everyone will call her plain Jane but I guess that doesn't matter. If anyone has any suggestions on names please send them my way.

Jack buddy is three!

2008-08-26T11:33:00.000-07:00

Jack turned three on the 24th but we had his party when we were in Utah so the family could share in the fun. Jack loves Thomas the Train so that's all he got.

Singing Happy Birthday to Jack.

The Meeting

2008-08-21T07:56:00.000-07:00

So we had a big meeting yesterday at work and they said that we are being outsourced but we wont know how it will affect us until Sept. 22. Pretty lame meeting, more waiting. I also found out that I didn't get the job at TGN, bummer. Kind of a crappy day.

If Tom Petty had a day like this he'd sing this song.

My Quick Trip to Utah

2008-08-19T19:14:00.000-07:00

I was in Utah this past weekend for a Reception for Amber's sister Krista. She is getting married to Ardi after eight years, we are so excited for them. The reception went really well, I had a great time catching up with friends I hadn't seen for quite some time.

On monday I went down to Provo for a job interview with The Generation Network (tgn.com). I interviewed for the Jr. Network Admin. position, and it went really well. I am hoping that I get offered the job, it would be an outstanding opportunity for me to advance in my career. I'm not sure about the Provo thing but I can always commute, we'll see.

Tuesday morning I went golfing with my Dad and the in-laws at Tremonton Country Club. We had a wonderful time I shot a 44 to lead everyone. The course is in surprisingly great shape. Everyone should take a trip to God's country and play this course, you'll have fun (yep, I said it).

Tuesday afternoon Amber and I hopped a plane to Phoenix and now I'm back home in Sahuarita. On the way home my work called me and they said that Symantec is going to have a big meeting tomorrow to let us know about our outsourcing fate. It should be very interesting, I'm excited to hear what they are going to do. I'll keep you posted.

Finally, I'm sorry to my friends that I didn't get time to see you this trip, it was much too short. The good thing is I have a good chance at landing this new job so I'd be back on a permanant basis. You all know what to do [wink].

Here's another EPIC song by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to express my words in song. I'm not sure if Tom is drunk or [gasp] high, you can decide for yourself, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Side note... Me, Clay Cutler, Jason Pixton, Kade Harris and sometimes Martin would drag Main St. Logan in Clay's Red Camero with this song as our battle cry. WINNERS!!!

The Waiting is the Hardest Part

2008-08-05T21:34:00.000-07:00

As many of you may know the lovely company I work for is looking to outsource their IT Department. They've been telling us for about two months that we'll know what is going to happen the end of July or first of August. So I'm thinking we should know what's going to happen sometime this week.... not so fast my friends. They did tell us one important tidbit yesterday, the Board of Directors have unanimously decided that it IS a good plan to outsource IT and has given their blessing to our CIO to move forward. So it's looking like we will have to wait a couple of more weeks before we know anything. I guess it's not all that bad, at least I know I will be getting at least one more paycheck.

To hear these words in song please check out one of the Greatest Bands from North America.
