Its time for an update! I am in school at UVU and so far so good. The math I am taking is from a BYU distance learning course that is taught by a separate company across from UVU. Its called "The easiest math ever" and they guarantee that you will pass if you attend every class and do all the homework. I have yet to not understand the classwork and the homework is a snap so I am really excited!

John Austin has got the family started in ACN. (Andrew has, as of this writing, decided to abstain) Its a telecom company that uses the direct marketing business model. As reps we offer services from T-mobile, Sprint, Verizon, Altell, for wireless service, ACN's own VOIP network for digital phone service, DIrect TV and Dish Network for satellite tv, and ADT security! We also have our own local and long distance network. I am excited about the company and that we will be featured on Celebrity Apprentice on March 22nd!! We are the first direct marketing company to ever have this kind of exposure! Im also excited that its not a juice, soap, or thigh cream! Most people already use this stuff anyway.

We are taking a road trip as Sherman men to San Diego for the next convention. That should be loads of fun! I will post pictures.

Mom and Dad have been a great help to us here and have delighted in taking the grand kids in and having sleep overs. I know John and Melina have really appreciated it. Mom is feeling better than over the holidays so that's always good.

As the 22nd of march comes closer I will post again about ACN to remind you to watch the celebrity apprentice episode.

Here is my link.

I walked away from a friend over the new year. A friend that I have known for a few years now. We knew each other really well and enjoyed each others company. But when all was said and done, our paths simply had to part. I realized that I had to get on with my life and could not spend anymore time or money that i did not have, fixing this problem or that problem for my friend. Its drains the soul to care for without being cared for.

I always felt like I gave more to it than my friend did. I worked hard to help my friend start over when a fresh start was needed. I introduced my friend to my family across the country. bla bla bla....does it really matter?

All I know now is that I have truly loved. I would have done ANY thing for my friend. My friend is in quite a bit of pain....and has a long road to figure out how to deal with it. It was my choice to walk away. I left and my friend called later that night sobbing. It was horrible.

People tell me its for the best. People say that I was used. People say all sorts of things.


I feel so empty and want my friend back. I dont know how to love a friend but take care of myself and walk away at the same time.


I will always have a place in my heart for, and worry about, my friend.


(just a bad day. everything else is great actually)
