Yes...Your father's first ever blog entry! Let me first of all thank Angie. This is something I have always wanted to have and do - A Family Newsletter. Angie, I am so grateful that you got it off the ground (although you may regret it, as now I will post brilliant advice constantly!). My first posting, however, is not advice, it is an announcement. No, Mom is not pregnant...but we are going to retire!!! I turned in the papers on Friday. They are actually paying me to leave! I guess they can hire 2 teachers for one of me, so it makes financial sense to give money to get people to retire. Mr. Boyle is going to go too, so it will be a big change for EHS social science department! I will continue to work. Some of my options are teach college part time, work for Riverside County Office of Education (Kenn Young is the Superintendent, and Mike Jones is over school improvement), Walmart greeter, or become a model. The one that I am currently working on is starting our own business called REAL EDUCATIONAL SOLUTIONS - Consulting and Publishing. REAL stands for the 4 essential things to make education work - Resources, Environment, Achievement (the A is larger to have the emphasis on achievement) and Life-Long Learning. Currently, my public relations firm, Royal Public Relations, is reviewing this to explore the feasibility and marketing of the name...who knows...maybe we'll just call it Get Smart! We've fasted and talked to everyone in the world, (Bishop, Taxman, etc.) and I still haven't had any bad feelings about it. We have no worries...we have 5 married children we can live with! (Cody, can we stay in the dorm if things get really bad?). I will keep you posted, but it is kinda exciting after doing the same thing since I was 22. I will miss the kids and the social science guys.
One other note I would love (actually the Olsingch's would probably love) to get comments on (that means you have to click the box below) is about the family reunion. I know, I know, you think we just had one! Mariah is getting married May 24 in Salt Lake and Aimee will be coming down for it. It would save her money, we'd have less crowds to fight trying to get a campsite if we did it the week before, like Wednesday to Friday the 14-16 (arriving at the location Wednesday afternoon or evening). Cody is planning on leaving on his mission at the end of May so he could attend the reunion. We might be able to work out the Sacrament meeting he speaks at to be that Sunday. Mom and I are planning a summer trip to Washington (Aunt Delores), Edmonton (The Low's), Minnesota (Aunt Sam, et al), and Utah (Hopoate's and Crippen's) so it would be great to free up summer (besides, I don't know what my schedule at Walmart will be). We had a tentative discussion about this, but I think that the Southwick's and Hopoate's may have been gone. Please post your comments and ideas.
Look forward to my next blog---Greatest Things I Ever Got and None of You Should Be Without! Love, Dad and Mom

Congratulations! aHH!My dad is retiring! That is so weird. The new job idea sounds great. I say go for Underwear/swimwear model. I can just see you running on the beach, the wind blowing through your hairs....:) Anyway, yeah, it would be great to see Cody before he went. Mom said maybe Cody could go into the MTC right after that! We could see him off on our way home! When is he turning in his papers? Soon, I hope. Love you all!
ps I know the real location of the pic, seeing as I was the photographer. It is a pretty nice house, and let me tell you siblings, there is plenty of rooom for us all!
