Male Tag Response



10 Years Ago:
We just finished winning the Sisters tournament and beating Lebanon for the 8th grade league championship. I was watching the dreaded Kentucky Wildcats play Andre Miller's Ute's. For some reason I was actually cheering for Utah back then, mainly due to the Grandpa George Wilson rubb off factor. I remember Utah being big underdogs and handing the game to Scott Padgett's Wildcats. I viewed the game at Brandon Johnson's house with a bunch of my friends, eating some spicy buffalo wings. I had just turned 14 years old and was just finishing up my glory days run. You know where the fact that I was half the size of my friends didn't matter yet, and I was still a good player (the streak that ended in H.S.). In 1998 I went to Washington D.C., mowed the Ayers lawn for $8 and still was trucking along with the Newspaper route. Ask anyone in that neighborhood, and they will tell you still to this day, I was the best paper boy SE Albany has ever seen. (Large thanks to all my assistance).

5 things on my To-Do list for today:
1. Prepare joint Priesthood/RS 5th sunday lesson on Tithing.
2. Figure out what Whit and I are doing in 10 days when the semester ends.
3. Study for my marketing test
4. Cheer on Xavier and Louisville to knock off the number ones.
5. Attend team pizza party at Craigo's to celebrate a great season cut short by stripes (similar to Lesley's Le Grande experience)
6. Bonus, refuse to go to Utah until Les/Trev tell us what the surprise is!!!

What would I do if I were suddenly a Billionaire:
Similar to Les I would drop some change off to both BYU and OSU, mainly for their basketball programs to improve. I would buy a nice house up on the hill in Rexburg overlooking the temple and figure out a way to remain a student the rest of my life so I can play in the "competitive" sports league (basketball, tennis, and flag football) for the rest of my life. It truly is the greatest thing ever! I would hook up my family with sweet birthday/Christmas presents every year. Buy toys (4 wheelers, snowmobiles, etc) and a house in Mesa that we could live for the winter half of the year. Of course invest some, but the other 90% would be in Whit's hands and she would just take over. Lastly, of course I would tell Paul Allen to scoot over because I would buy him out and own the Blazers, practicing with them frequently, no P.T. required.

Places I have lived:

Albany, Oregon
Rexburg, Idaho
Provo, Utah
Toronto, Canada (all over)
Columbia, S. Carolina
Santa Clarita, Cali

Things most people don't know about me:
Since high school I have never not had a job. I finished in 4th place in my English 311 class last semester, and if you know my spelling and grammer, you will know what this is so surprising. In my college career I have played in 28 different intramural leagues/seasons and only have 2 championships out of those 28 teams. I can never beat Whit in Balderdash. Isaac has never beat me in singles, but this summer he should have plenty of chances! And I once shot a 79 at the Golf Club of Oregon with Driod.

I know tag all males everywhere! Man up, I am calling you at! Specifically my brother in laws, but again all males everywhere!

So good, Ev! Although I was not there, I do remember receiving a wedding card that said Ev still is the best paperboy. I'm sure our kids will continue that, too!

I loved reading the tag response for you and Whit. Learn something new every day! Have fun in Portland this summer!

Marci said...

Excellent! We'll see if I can get Matt to actually post on "our" blog.

And.. don't you hate knowing that even I know what the surprise is from Trev and Les??? Better just man up and COME TO UTAH.

Ev, you are a great example to paper boys and male bloggers everywhere. I think you'd be interested to know that we can actually thank Steve for the whole blogging trend in our family because he actually had the vision and started the Bajork blog and it grew from there.

Also, see my comment down on Whit's "tagged" post.

Ev, you said you guys were trying to figure out what to do for spring break? I just figured it out- come to california with us. 12 hours in the car with the Kollers, what a dream, right?
