First Post

This feels like a first journal entry. Or that journal entry you start to make after months of negligence. You know, where you start to list everything you've done since you stopped writing and now you feel guilty so you're trying to make up for lost time. I almost feel like I should detail my life up to this point, but somehow I just don't feel that is worth it for anyone else unlucky enough (or crazy enough) to actually read this. Instead, I'd like to introduce my family.

I'm Jake, the husband and dad, employee of the University of Utah (Go Utes!), and current MBA student (part-time and yes, totally insane).

Jen is the wife and full-time mom, beneficiary of my paychecks (we argue all the time about how much she gets "paid"), and incredibly amazing caregiver to our kids.

Which brings us to:


Our amazingly beautiful 2 year old, Teanna Jean. Smart, hilarious, tempestuous, and a joy to be around, she really keeps us on our toes. She has recently discovered spitting, nose picking, and fit throwing. I'll keep you posted.


And our always happy 9 month old, Cole Jacob. He's a typical infant. Smiles easily, laughs easily, and always enjoyable to be with, except the last week when he cut his first two teeth. He's in love with his mom and any other female in general. He has recently discovered crawling, standing up to things, and trying to walk on his own.

So that's us. Enjoy the crazy life we lead.
