A long but good day

Today was a really long but good day. I was up late last night talking to Whitney about our family matters. So I slept in a little bit and didn't have time to read my scriptures in the morning. I went to work at the BYU bindery and cut all of the media guides for Men's Basketball. I also spent some time setting up the program for the Men's basketball game this Wed. It is against Idaho State University.

I then went to class and after talking to my group about our business plan, I worked on the database for Ortho Development. I actually spent a long time working on this database today. I am having a particular problem getting the MS Access forms to pull the description into a text box after the user selects the item they want. It has frustrated me quite a bit. I have tried to look up some help but have not got it to work yet. If you read this and know an answer, please leave me a comment.

I went to my VBA class and learned how to use excel to automate IE to navigate and get the data from a secure web page. This information will be very useful for my final project. I am making an excel application that will take my financial data and turn it into a useful budgeting data.

I went shopping with Whit today as well. We got some flat ware from Dillards. She also got some paint and other craft things. She is so good at doing all crafty things. She paints, sews, scapbooks, crochets, decorates, does digital photo editing, and is in general outstanding at everything she does.

Heroes was good tonight. I wouldn't say that it was the best episode ever, but it was nice to learn what had happened in the time between the first and second seasons. I can't wait to see what they do next. I am happy that they have finally built some tension into the show.

My First Post

This is my first attempt at creating a public blog. My intention is for this to be a general blog about my life. I think that I will post some of my daily goings on as well as knowledge that I have learned including the following subjects:
  • technology
  • sports-the foremost being basketball and football(both college and pro)
  • spiritual matters
  • movies
  • TV shows
  • other topics as they come up

For my first post I will talk about my day today. Church starts at 8:00 am. Whitney unfortunately has been sick for the last few days and was unable to attend with me. This was much to her dismay as it was the primary program today. We only have 5 children of primary age in our ward. I always enjoy seeing and hearing the primary children sing the primary songs and give their talks. The parents of the children were called up to sing I am a Child of God with their children. One family is from France and another is from Argentina. Each family sang a verse in their native language. It was very beautiful. The children's talks were fun and the second counselor, who is deaf, gave a very good talk as well. I also enjoyed mouthing the words to the songs as they were sung. It was a very good program and reminded me of how much I love children and their simple faith and testimonies.
The rest of the day has been very lazy. I took a 2 1/2 hour nap. I also checked the sports scores and the ads on the internet. I looked through a lot of the Black Friday ads. I was surprised at the prices a a number of items. There are a lot of TVs on sale and I can't believe the prices! 50'' LCD HD TV for $1000! And there are tons of other TVs at great prices too. I saw computer monitors as well. There were also two graphics cards, one 256MB and the other 512MB and they were $50 and $100 respectively. They are essentially the same model but with the upgraded MBs.
There were so many other great deals. To see the website I went to click here.
I think that is all for now. Happy reading.
