Well I wish I could say that I feel cool doing this, but to be honest I have never felt any nerdier (and this coming from a guy who to this day plays Halo online with junior-high schoolers). I guess if I consider this my journal I can salvage some dignity in the hopes my posterity will get a glimpse of who I am.
I have never been good at keeping journals. The day I got baptized my entry went like this, "I got baptized tonight...it was pretty cool. After the baptism we went to Furr's Cafeteria. I ate red jello cubes and some strawberries in powdered sugar. It was great." I think that was the longest entry in the entire book.
My next attempt to chronicle my existence happened on my mission. I got a little better at describing my activities, but the entries are sometimes months apart. P-day was better spent playing "Truco" or futbol.
Not long after we got married Tara decided that we needed a "couple's journal." It was supposed to be a safe haven where either one of us could express ourselves freely without the fear of offending the other. It started out well, but by Tara's third entry I was offended! We tucked it away about 3 1/2 years ago...now Caden uses it as a scribble book.
Tara just pointed out to me that I have been grinning nonstop for the last 5 minutes. If nothing else, at least I amuse myself!

dont worry scott, you were amusing taylor and me. great first post!
Furr's Cafeteria? Yuck...
Let me defend myself...I heard the couples journal idea was suppose to be helpful in relationships. When in a disagreement you are suppose to write your thoughts and feelings down. I think the purpose is to work those feelings out before you actually express them to your partner. It is suppose to save you from saying things you don't mean when in the heated moment.
I caught myself smilng when reading your blog too. I dont get it. You make fun of me and pick on me non stop. Why do I think your funny? Tough love.
I love that you are blogging. I don't think there is a chance in hell I could get kenny to do it. I wish. I love the layout.
Awesome blog header. I'm so excited to hear your side of the story now. My friend just told me of a website. Blurb.com. You can go there and make books and stuff. Anyway you can upload your blog to their site, and mess around with it and make it your blog into a book or a journal for like $25. I am totally doing it. Check it out.
Scott, I love that you are in touch with your nerd inside! Just kidding! Your post is hilarious! I hardly recognized that pic of Tara in your header! She looks amazing in it!
For anyone reading, Tara posted as me...I would never try to defend having a couples journal...and Furr's Cafeteria was one of the PRIME restaurants in Las Vegas throughout the '80s.
Courtney...what to you think of your new nicknam? Confused? Try clicking the links in "MY ENTOURAGE", it will make sense after a while.
Mary, Thanks for welcome. Your right about Tara looking amazing. I guess I'm a nerd with a hot wife.
Oh yeah...sorry Scott! I didn't realize I had posted under your name.
furrs was the hottest spot for lds families in the 80s. we were always going there! i especially liked going up to that little window and ordering more food.
oh and i think every girl likes a little nerd in their guys! =)
My new name sounds like Im running an escort service website or something. What can I say, I guess I'll just have to embrace it. Tell all of your friends.
"Brinleeland" I love it. It's true!!
I want a cool name.
Dude, I totally remember Furr's! I remember going there once, getting our food, and my dad told us we had to leave and go somewhere else! That building is still vacant! It must be cursed!
I also didn't recoginze that pic of Tara! I had to do a double take!
We are glad to have you Scott! You are entering dangerous waters. You can call it a "journal" if you want. That was why I started. Now it is just an addiction! Haha!
Erica:
I'm trying to think of a good name for you, but "Married for 7 years, and my husband still doesn't have a job" was too long.
Don't worry...I'll think of something!
Oooohhhhh that's a blow to the stomach. I guess the truth hurts. But August will be 9 years. Man we are old.
Why would someonw in their right mind name a restaurant "Furrs". You might as well have called it "The Flem Pot", or "Infestation"; that would have made just as much sense. Glad to hear from you Scottie. We should talk about old times like the girls do. I'll start. Remember when I used to sit on you in nursery" Ahhh the good times. or... Remember when your pops had a porn stache and my Dad looked like Beck?
Tay, saying that Bro. Maxfield had a porn stache doesn't sound too great. It made me think of porn stash... like he was hiding porn mags! What would that do to his political career? I keed. I thought Scotts dad was so hot when I was 7 and they were in our ward! Shhh. Don't tell Kathy!
