'South for the Summer'

Here is a link to my brother's band, South for the Summer. They have a new Myspace and a couple of new songs on there. Please, stop by and listen. They're really good, and I'm not just saying that. Spread the word. (P.S., Jared has the vocals and the bass guitar).

I also wanted to post some pics I took of the American Idol auditions. They'll help you get a feel for everything you missed by not going. =)

Ryan Seacrest, ladies and gentlemen!
(No, you can't see him. I was feet away from him and I couldn't see him... All those tall, 5'3" Utah girls... But doesn't the bright, white light make him appear angelic?)

Jared, waiting for the big moment (hours into the day).

Tara and Dan said...: I think it was Ryan Seacrest's white teeth that caused the bright light...

About Our Family

Josh and Shauna were married on August 19th, 2006, in the Oakland, CA, temple for time and all eternity. We currently live in Clinton, UT, where we bought our first house! We were in Provo, UT, where Shauna graduated from BYU in Elementary Education in 2007. She taught 3rd grade for 3 years, and is now a stay-at-home mom with Jonathan, who was born in October, 2010. Josh graduated from BYU in April 2009 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. He currently works for the U.S. Air Force as an electronics engineer at Hill AFB, UT.

How We Met
Many moons ago, when we were both in high school, Josh's good friend (we'll call him "Seth") went to the same EFY session as Shauna (Especially For Youth is an LDS youth conference). They happened to be in the same group. Upon returning home to Las Vegas (where Josh is from), Seth hounded Josh to email this "really cute girl" he met. Josh finally did, and for some reason, Shauna wrote back. We immediately became penpals thanks to the modern technology of instant messaging and emails. We would 'talk' about anything and everything, from dating advice to politics. This friendship lasted for years without us ever meeting in person or even talking on the phone. Shauna wrote Josh regularly on his full-time mission for the Church.

After Josh returned in December of '04, Shauna decided it was high-time we met. We finally did in March of '05 and instantly hit it off. Thus began a long-distance relationship of phone calls and semi-regular, monthly visits. After much convincing, Josh transferred to BYU from UNLV the following January. Josh proposed on Saint Patrick's Day that year, 2006 (our "lucky day"). That summer, Shauna returned to her home in San Jose and we didn't see each other until one week before we were married. It was hard, but worth it!
