Well, it’s winter time here in Utah. It snowed two days in a row and now the sun is finally out but it’s 15 degrees outside. Joy and I were going to start walking for exercise… guess that will have to wait, I don’t walk unless it’s at least 16 degrees. 🙁
Jason Keck is off to teach about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, in Colorado.
Dear friends,
I just wanted to let you know that Jason got his mission call today. He will be going to the Colorado Springs Colorado mission on January 24th. He is happy and anxious to serve.Love, Melissa
The Black Friday sales weren’t bad around here. I got a few things that we’ve been wanting for a while, for cheap. It was fun, but I can’t say I was as into it as most of the residents of Utah that flooded the stores at 5am if not earlier. Pace was out that early, just because he was still awake, and he said there were people lined up galore outside the stores. A few items I wanted were definitely long gone by the time Rachel, Chase and I straggled in at like 9:30 am. It seems like this would not really be the case, but it appears as though Utahans in general love STUFF!!! Stuff, stuff and more stuff. But one thing I got that I would like to recommend to parents or future parents is this cd I bought for Chase (well, for all of us, really), entitled “A Child’s Prayer.” It’s very peaceful and, as Pace described it, “boring.” But I love it because it makes me feel a little calmer while putting Chase to bed, which is an ordeal since he tends to despise sleep these days. I don’t know if this cd will really make your kids “internalize gospel messages as they fall asleep” as the ad on the Deseret Book website claims, but hey, it’s nice to listen to anyway!
In case you hadn’t heard, which most of you have except me… Nada got her braces off. I haven’t heard b/c they haven’t been by to see me since she got them off. Kind of like when your teenager gets their drivers license, you don’t see them anymore… now that Nada is so popular and attractive, she does come round no more. In other news, BYU beat Utah in the best football game I’ve seen all year. Joy was called to be the beehive adviser, and I am going to be an teaching Elders quorum. Oh and Chase is driving.
Thanksgiving was fun, we had a good time relaxing and eating food, hanging out with friends and family that were in town. We kept meaning to go see Bond after Tyler’s review.. but it just never happened. Maybe next week.
For everyone who hasn’t already seen it, the new James Bond, 
“Casino Royale” is simply amazing. The new actor for James Bond, Daniel Craig, is the best james bond of my lifetime at least. This 007 features the REAL james bond, no super futuristic gadgets, or items that allow James Bond to be super awesome. He just IS awesome.
The part i liked the most about the movie, is that, James Bond wasn’t having sex with every female character he came in contact with. The movie is very clean, considering past James bond movies were full of tons of violence, sex, and language. Off the top of my head i can count 6 cuss words in the entire movie. And the worst violence you saw was the occasional punching and well.. punching. And yes some shooting. (however somone gave a report that it was TOO violent. Well it wasn’t.)
This 007 was also very realistic. He didnt go out and get beaten up, then show up at a bar the next day looking fine.. he’d show up at HQ with cuts over his face, and you could tell he had been fighting. Even days afterwards, he still would have a bandage over a cut he got from a previous fight.
It also has an AMAZING beginning. The first scene shows how this James Bond became a double 0. To do so you must have two kills. And it shows how he did it. The second scene shows 007 chase down this guy on foot, and they do some amazing “urban gymnastics”
In any case, this movie is a must see, ten out of five stars. I saw it last night, and im ready to go see it again. Its definately worth it.
I miss the semi weekly lost article by Tyler. He isn’t writing anymore b/c LOST isn’t new until Feb. Tyler maybe you can start the weekly Daybreak… did anyone watch Daybreak that was on in the place of LOST? I have to admint I had low expectations, but I found myself riveted (besides changing diapers) to the couch as I watched. If they made a movie out of it, I would watch it. The idea is pretty much Groundhogs Day, but a murder mystery/action genre. I like it alot. Anyone else see it? What do you think? Any other good pilot shows out there?
Great video of Chase as he was entertaining us. Saturdays are so much fun!
The PS3 will be / is (depending on when you read this) released, midnight Thursday night. Joy said she saw people lined up yesterday and noonish outside of Target! Anyone seen anything crazier than that?
Four Weeks remaining till the start of the playoffs!
