Muhahahaha

What happens when you take awesomeness from the 70's and bring it 40 years into the future?

I'm beginning to think awesomeness ages like wine, cheese, and love.

Happy Birthday/Thanksgiving!

Well, she was almost a turkey baby...

We are all doing really, really well. More details and pictures to come!!

Too funny for anything but it.

And we're back!

Ok, not that we were really gone, but the past few weeks been absolutely crazy/wonderful/terrible all at the same time. Lemme explain...

Crazy:
1. Caleb is growing up so fast!





2. Tom is rocking his first semester!!! He'll be done with finals, classes, grading, and everything else in about a month, so we wish him good luck!!



3. I am officially DONE with my BYU degree! Can you believe it? I still can't. I will officially graduate in April, but as for now, no more pencils, no more books...


Wonderful:
1. Baby is coming. Soon. Very, very, soon. We'll keep you posted on when she finally decides to get here (hopefully within the next two weeks!).

2. Tom's mom came down for a visit this weekend and we had a great time! Thanks, Grandma!

3. I attended my baby shower and got so many cute, girly and especially frilly things. We can't wait to deck out our little girl in pink!


Terrible:
So, terrible is a complete understatement, but in the past few weeks, our family learned that my mom has breast cancer. She has had surgery in that time and is at home recovering well. Now, it's just the waiting game to see what the next step will be (chemo, radiation) so she can beat this and get on with being a wonderful mom, grandma and great friend to all of us. We wish you well, Mom!!!!

A water drop...

And you thought water was such a simple concept. For your viewing pleasure, I present a mathematical waterdrop:





For those interested, this can be generated using Matlab or Octave using the following code:
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-20:0.5:20,-20:0.5:20);
f = sinc(sqrt((X/pi).^2+(Y/pi).^2));
mesh(X,Y,f);

Why I'm in Grad School...

This is economics at its awesomest to me:

Ha!

It's about time the truth came out about this stuff. And in the off chance that you got some of these, check out their new refund policy. I was never a fan of these videos, but hey, if it helped you to take a shower that day, more power to them!
