I babysat Krista’s little boys. Let me tell you, they are more than a handful; cute, loving and energy-sucking. You may know him as DR, Dan, pops, papa, grandpa, or just plain old Dad to me, came into town and celebrated Thanksgiving with us too.
I went to my doctor for a check up on my ankle. He said that one day I will need an ankle replacement, a day I dread. He gave me a steroid to help with the chronic pain. In that shot were some localized pain killers, Lidocane and some other 'cane'. It numbed my foot and for 2 hours I was pain free and it almost made me cry I was so happy. I wish it lasted.
I saw old friends and it made me want to live there again. I found myself driving the streets and thinking to myself, ‘I could live here again.’ Gavin got engaged too!
My phone charger broke the last day of vacation in
I got a couple of games, one of which is called, Zombies, Run! You plug in your destination address and as you drive you have to avoid the Zombies that are chasing you. It’s basically a real life Pac-Man trying to avoid the ghosts. I haven’t tried it yet but it sounds like fun. I also got one called scriptures which, when it gets working right, will allow me to access the Bible, Book of Mormon and the rest of them.
I really enjoyed the time off. I golfed, slept, watched Madagascar 2 (which made me cry I laughed so hard,) ate plenty, and spent quality time with friends and family. I can't complain.
Now most people don’t watch
.
Let's just assume it would be fair to say that no one enjoyed my costume more than I did. Don't let the pictures fool you. *wink wink*
I took this one myself. Not too shabby.
Liz Drake, professional babe and Rockstar.
I had some good beard growing.
This is my tough biker gang look.
Ready to play!
He got subbed in and I yelled at him a bunch. After the game we had VIP access and Mathis comes walking out. I wanted to have him autograph my sign but was scared he might punch me in the face. He's quite a jerk on the field. I came down with a bad case of Patchitis and wussed out on all my chances to get his autograph so I took some candid photos.
He was super cool. I can say now that THE BEEF IS OVER! I won't hate on him anymore. I shall turn my heckles elsewhere. Thanks for being a cool dude Clint Mathis.
| Introduction to Conscientiousness | ||||
| It's a work day, breakfast is over, and you're dressed and ready. So how will you approach the tasks at hand? Some people work best with a clear schedule, a set of priorities and a due date for every step in the process. Others are, shall we say, less regimented. They approach a task with as much imagination as organization, and with a willingness to bend and modify in order to exercise some urge of creativity. | ||||
| Your approach toward your obligations is: | ||||
| FOCUSED AND FLEXIBLE | ||||
| Words that describe you: | ||||
| ||||
| A General Description of How You Interact with Others | ||||
| When you take on a task at work or at home, you are reliable; you get the job done. In an organized way, you define the goal, lay out a plan, figure how long the task will take, and get to work "solid and dependable you". | ||||
| Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You | ||||
| Some people live like Marines: duty-bound, disciplined and driven. To these people you might seem uncommitted; where they would never leave work for play or change plans in the middle of their life's forced march, you let the circumstance sway you and move in a different direction, and they don't understand. | ||||
| Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You | ||||
| What a great life you have, and a great attitude to boot. You know when to buckle down and push ahead to get the job done, and you do it well. You know when to lay the tools of your trade aside, grab your kite and head for the meadow where you can run with the wind. Many people will see and admire in you this lovely combination of a person who can focus, but who is flexible enough to know when to let the spirit move you in some new and livelier direction. |
| Introduction to Emotional Stability | |||
| We're born with the capacity to feel deeply, so it's as natural as breathing to experience a range of emotions. Fear and joy and sadness, anger and shame and disgust lie somewhere within each of us. Ah, but to what extent do we control these emotions, and to what extent do they control us? How you answer this question of how your emotions play out in your life has a great deal to do with your levels of personal satisfaction and with the character of your relationships with others. Do you manage your emotions well, keeping them in check with your thinking and your willpower, or are you someone who lets emotions have their way, giving in to the wild dance of feelings? The following paragraphs describe your emotional range in terms of being a person who is emotionally steady or someone who is responsive to whatever feelings swell up in you. | |||
| On Emotional Stability you are: | |||
| RESPONSIVE | |||
| Words that describe you: | |||
| |||
| A General Description of Your Reactivity | |||
| You are an emotional person. In some ways, we are all emotional; we feel joy, anger, sadness and fear; some of us more powerfully than others - and you more powerfully than most. Your emotions are closer to the surface, and your feelings more obvious to you than is the case with most people. You've got your life in a good place, your dominant mood is upbeat, and unless life has been particularly trying for you, you greatly enjoy the richness and intensity of life that being so open with your emotions brings you. | |||
| Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You | |||
| Undoubtedly you have met some people who get uncomfortable being around you because your feelings are so close to the surface. They may keep a bit of distance, especially around any subject that might trigger an emotional topic they are uncomfortable with. Over time, they might even stay away from you more and more. You will find you have decisions to make; do you temper your style for their comfort or do you hope they will find ways to become more comfortable with emotional expressions? Given the richness that seems to stem from your emotional life the most meaningful response is probably very apparent to you. | |||
| Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You | |||
| You are a cherished companion for those friends who can handle emotions well. They will appreciate the candor with which you express even difficult feelings like anger and fear. Your openness will make intimate conversations even more intimate, and make the connections between you as friends deeper and stronger. Some people who have trouble expressing their feelings might find in you a good example of how to be more vulnerable and more open. Your willingness and ability to share your emotions could encourage them to share theirs, and invite them into ways of being friends that will help enrich their lives. |
| Introduction to Openness | ||||
| How firmly committed are you to the ideas and beliefs that govern your thinking and guide your behavior? Some people trust their current ideas and beliefs the way a climber trusts the mountain; whichever way they move, whether the climb is on a familiar trail or over new ground, there is something solid beneath them, something they count on. | ||||
| On the Openness Dimension you are: | ||||
| SOMETIMES CURIOUS, SOMETIMES CONTENT | ||||
| Words that describe you: | ||||
| ||||
| A General Description of How You Approach New Information and Experiences | ||||
| Like someone who can sleep comfortably on either side of the bed, you are equally at home with ideas and beliefs that you have held for a long time and with new ways of thinking and believing that grow out of your intellectual curiosity. | ||||
| Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward Your Style of Thinking | ||||
| Not everyone will be thrilled by your flexible, middle-of-the-road ways of thinking and believing. A few people are so taken with flights of imagination into whatever is new that they might find your commitment to long-standing values and beliefs too confining, if not too boring. Oh well; so be it. They'll just have to be in free-flight without you. | ||||
| Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You | ||||
| Many others will find you trustworthy and therefore an attractive companion on the intellectual journey. They will appreciate the combination in you of open-mindedness and a commitment to the tried-and-true. In an intellectual climate sometimes dominated by the extremes of either wild innovation or dug-in traditionalism, your moderate views and your proper acceptance of a wide range of possibilities will be a distinctive and refreshing quality. Because you join your curiosity to strong foundational ideas and beliefs and practical solutions to problems, people will trust your occasional explorations into new territories to be reliable, and not "something new for newness sake". |
| Introduction to Agreeableness | |||
| This section of your profile describes your interactions with other people. The ways we communicate our feelings, beliefs and ideas to others are influenced by our cultural backgrounds, the way we were raised, and sometimes which side of the bed we got up on this morning. Some of us are very mindful of others making decisions we hope will be in their best interests, even if it means sometimes neglecting our own interests. Others of us believe each person should be responsible for themselves, taking deep pride in our own character and independence with a firm belief that others are best served by doing the same. The following describes how you engage with others; illustrating the dimension of your personality that determines your independence or your desire to reach out and touch others in meaningful ways. | |||
| You are best described as: | |||
| USUALLY TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF | |||
| Words that describe you: | |||
| |||
| A General Description of How You Interact with Others | |||
| You are clearly a compassionate person; you believe that you should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and you know that friends help their friends. But with you compassion is just one side of the coin; the other being a side that also expects others to hold up their end of the bargain. So you help others but it is with the expectation that others don't take advantage of you or try to put one over on you. In short, you expect others to treat you as you treat them. | |||
| Negative Reactions Others May Have Toward You | |||
| Some people may see your practical style as lacking compassion. When your compassion is tempered, as it is at times by your discerning questions and careful consideration, it may seem to some like you have too much head and too little heart. And when you use time and energy to take care of yourself there will inevitably be some who see you as selfish and uncaring. But your approach is neither heady nor selfish. It is you. And unless your approach is causing you consistent problems in important relationships, there is really no reason to change. Your distinctive manner of having clear expectations for the relationships in which you will exert your energy is true to the core of you. | |||
| Positive Responses Others May Have Toward You | |||
| The truth is that most people respect someone who knows themselves and what they want. So even if some people don't get exactly what they want from you often they will leave with a deeper respect for you. Your frank and honest approach may help someone to help themselves when they didn't think this was possible, and they wind up better off: they're out of trouble, they did it on their own, and they have you to thank. And you were, again, true to yourself. |
This is the little Beckham Sifuentes
Me working on breakfast. That Lil Debbie sure knows what she's doing.
I'd like to call this a lateral dive. It's new
Boys will be boys. Dave, Jeremey and I testing the rope swings limits. It passed.
I held on to try and avoid landing on Dave...who landed on Jeremey.
No I am not grabbing his Junk...Findley was under there somewhere.
Post goal, "these are the best seats ever."
I have moved to Provo Utah. I am settled and doing well. I start a new job as a PI within the week. I live in South Provo on the way to Springville on South State Street. I live with a couple of guys, one of whom is Katy MacDonald’s cousin that I have met on occasion growing up. I just wanted to give a quick update to all those inquiries. I didn’t take any pictures of the move. A) because I don’t have a camera. B) I was too tired after moving it all to worry about it.
On another note, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Reeve Reunion 2008 in Midway Utah. This also gave me the chance to golf a little with my dad. We played the Park City Municipal Course. It was a lot of fun besides my poor play. The round was highlighted on the par 5 18th. I decided to borrow my dad’s driver and smash it. Half the time it is really ugly, the other half of the time pro golfers would be jealous. It happened to be the latter. 330 yards later my ball stopped in the middle of the fairway. The next shot was set up for a nice, easy 7 iron from about 180 yards out. Nailed it! I ended up getting a birdie on the hole and it made it all worth it.
Back to the reunion, I’m sure some pictures will surface somewhere but I don’t have any. It was a lot of fun to see cousins that I hadn’t seen in a long time. Those friendships and connections have not been lessened by distance or time. When you see them they are family and you love them as much as you ever have before. We talked and reminisced about the reunions of past years. It was fun. That is all for now.
the family I have here,
sibling lunches and judging cookie recipes, 
and the softball
and soccer teams…all that stuff. It’s been a fantastic time. 
shooting guns,
rocking the quads,
wakeboarding in March,
scorpion hunting, floating the river, 
Mariokart on the big screen, karaoke,
TNDC,
trips to Utah, concealed weapons permits, Dashboard Confessional concerts,
sporting events, 
driving with the windows down in December, 
and kicking it with my peeps...
Needless to say I am sad to go. I would gladly stay if I had the ways or means but alas…I do not. I must go. On to Utah. I make my journey in less than a week. I leave abruptly. I feel like I should be staying longer so I can say my last goodbyes. There always seems to be unfinished business.
