Here's a funny video. Don't hold the baby over your head. Just a warning.

Hi Everyone, this is Ryan. I've been spending the last few hours(?) checking out people's blogs and it reminds me of a game I used to play in college with some friends. Someone would give you two actors -- say, Jim Carrey and Jodie Foster. You had to connect those two actors through movies that they've been in with other actors. Jim Carrey was in Fun with Dick and Jane (2005) with Richard Jenkins, and Richard Jenkins was in Stealing Home (1988) with Jodie Foster. (NOTE: I was really bad at this game. For instance, I don't know who Richard Jenkins is and have never heard of the movie Stealing Home. I got some help on this one from this website.)

So anyway, I've spent the last little while clicking on the links to our friends' blogs, then clicking on the link to one of their friends' blogs, from there clicking on the link to one of their friends' blogs and so on to see if I get back to us. (I haven't yet.)

By doing this, I've observed a couple of things. First, we are super far behind the rest of the world in getting a blog. Second, almost everyone in the blogosphere went to BYU. Third, it may not be long before the prophet stops telling us to keep a journal and starts telling us to maintain a blog.

Fourth, and most importantly, everyone seems as happy with their lives as I am with mine which is exciting. So just like many of you, we are doing "life" -- loving each other, working, learning, having kids, trying to wake up on time, getting older, feeling older, and pursuing dreams. So maybe it is a little bit stalkerish, but it's fun to join the crowd.
