Johan Ark

Not sure if any one saw this online today but I figured it was Blog worthy. I guy named Johan Huibers from the Netherlands decided to recreate and actually build the Noah's Ark. He did it by following the bibles direction to the tee. This ark is over 450 ft long. Its amazing.

He has spent over 1.6 million dollars making this vessel and actually tried to get live animals on the the ship itself. However because of complications he was not able too. So he filled it with stuffed animals and a couple of farm animals. Its actually really cool. He is working out a way with the Olympics to have it be part of the up coming Olympics. What an amazing feat for someone to actually make the Ark. He has been working on it for almost 5 years now. Even his wife couldn't stop him. I thought it was just cool to blog about. And if your ever in the Netherlands you can actually pay to go see it. Gotta make your money back some how. Too cool!!

Work Jokes & Pranks

At Intermountain Concrete Specialties, we have two strong ties to two different Universities. One side it Brigham Young University and the other is University of Utah. We go back an forth between each schools fans teasing, making fun of and finding ways to make somes blood boil. Since I have been attending the University of Utah I get a lot of slack for being a Cougar fan. I also give an lot of slack to those who are Utah fans. Well today I was able to catch a BYU fan with Red & white on his computer screen. Its also such sweet revenage for all his teasing of me being a traitor to BYU. I walked into his office and saw the colors, asked why he decided on the red & white? Bob said since Ken (Utah fan) was in Idaho he could have the colors without getting into too much trouble. Well I turned around, went to my office and got my phone to take a picture. As you can tell he tried to cover the screen. Just making the picture that much sweeter. Not only have I passed it around the office to all the BYU and Utah fans but now I am bloggin it on my page. Its too funny to pass up. Its a perfect shot.. Sorry had to highlight all BYU information in blue just to keep kosher with any teasing that might come from this post.

Kids and Mirrors

This post should have been put up a long time ago but I have not had a second to post it lately with school, work and internship. I finally have a minute to post it though. This was at Payless shoes. McKinley and Tait found the funny mirror that they have. It took them a while to get the idea behind the mirror, once they did get it they had a lot of fun. here are some of the pictures I took on my phone of them. Such goofy kids!!

Sweet Justice!

So a couple months back our house got broken into. We had our back window broken into. A window only a child could get into. But we lost our wii, x-box, jewelry and other items. We really had no hope of ever getting our stuff back. But we moved forward and on with our lives.

Well today Sweet Justice was served from the Salt Lake City Police. Alicen got a call letting us know that our wii tried to get pawned at a local pawn shop. Since we where able to find our serial number for our wii the police had a number to go off. So they caught the person who broke into our house. From what Alicen told me, it was a mother/son job. The boy would break into the houses and the mom would tell the boy what to take. From what the police detective said was they had a couple of case that this lady has been on but no proof to hold her to it until our serial number sent up a red flag. We are so excited!!! Its just sweet sweet justice when something goes right in the world.

I have always been a fan of the Salt Lake City Police (since my Dad was one of them for 30 years) but its great to see when it all goes right. They are now able to put more than one case together and help others maybe get back some stole items. Its a good day! So happy.

Just a word to the wise: write down all your serial numbers and keep them in a safe location- it might just come in handy some day. I know we have been much better about that.
