Merry Christmas!
Thursday, December 20, 2007
We sent out Christmas cards this year for the first time. The picture above is what was on the card. Amanda and I decided we didn’t want to be on the card when we can just put a picture of our kid on it. If you think you should have received a card and didn’t, sorry; we probably didn’t have your address, and we had to limit our output due to poverty. Please send us your address though, so that you may be included next year.
Anyway, I hope you all have a great Christmas and New Year. I will try to think of something interesting to blog about next time.

Half-way
Friday, December 14, 2007
Well, this post is coming a few days late, but I have been a little busy of late. On Monday I took my Federal Income Tax final exam and it was absolutely awful. It was the worst test I have ever taken, but with the completion of that test comes the completion of the semester for me, which means, I am half-way done with law school!
School has been going pretty quickly, and I know that I should be enjoying it more than I am, but it is hard to not look forward to life after school (when I can actually earn a decent salary, and support my family) when you are so poor. Anyway, I am now trying to work a lot and earn a bit of money so that we can start next semester off with a little bit to pay things.
Well today is also the day Spencer turns 3 months old. It's kind of crazy how quickly time is flying by, but he is a lot of fun to have around. He is usually a really good kid, sleeping through the night (most of the time), and in general very good natured. He is so good that Amanda is excited to have another one (although that won't happen for a while). Anyway, better get back to work,

Divine Intervention (Collie's view)
Thursday, December 6, 2007
So my friend Natalie, who is an avid BYU fan (as proven in the comments of the post seen below) sent me this picture. I found it very entertaining. In Austin Collie's mind this is the way the reception on 4th and 18 happened. There was a little divine intervention, or should we say there were angels on the football field. Either way, this is a funny picture.
Finals
Wednesday, December 5, 2007
Well, the end of the semester is upon us. In a little less than a week I will officially be half-way done with law school. Friday I have a Business Organizations final exam, then on the following Monday I have my Federal Income Tax final. So approximately 5:00 pm on Monday I will be finished with the semester (other than a paper, but I am not counting that because it will be pretty easy).
Unfortunately the two finals I have are my two least favorite classes this semester. I think tax is extremely boring, and I have a hard time paying attention. Someone told me it was a good class to have, now I am wishing I had taken it pass/fail, but what can you do? As for Bus Orgs, I have been diligently studying this week to try and teach myself a semester's worth of material, because we didn't have a teacher who is much of a teacher. She is actually known around the school as Delores Umbridge (for those of you who are Harry Potter fans), and the name fits.
Anyway, wish me luck. 5 days to freedom.
Servus.
