Visiting Utah

So this week we are in Utah doing a little research. It is very glamorous. We sit in very quiet rooms requesting and reading manuscripts all day. Delightful! Jen is researching George Careless, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Director in the mid-late 1800s. I am looking at religious influences on Southwestern tribes, and here in Provo looking at some old records on the American Indians Studies and Research program, as well as the Indian student placement program. Hopefully our research will make it into publications.

While we are here we will also going to spend a little time with family. Jen's cousin is coming home from a mission this week. He was in Brazil. I'm excited to see Jen's brother, Brent (or as I call him, Brentilda). It is nice to be back in Provo for a little bit, and it is funny how some things change and others remain the same. We attended our old married student ward today, but there was only one couple there from the days when we lived here.

Summer has been productive. We worked on the house a bit, but Jen wants to write about that. I worked for the university for the first half of the summer. I maintained a list serve and web page, and now I'm feeling a little more competent about managing a web page of my own. Maybe I'll open one up soon.

So that is it for me, today. I hope you find these entries give you a bit more insight about our personalities.
