When I was serving as a missionary for the Mormon church, I ended each day by writing a full page in my journal. I had never been a big journal writer, but I made a promise to my uncle that I wouldn’t miss a day. Now, that 800 page
Now that we are a couple days since the birth of Cole, things have slowed down just a little. I’ve had a lot of emails asking for some photos, so here comes the obligatory newborn photo. I haven’t even unloaded my camera yet, but this one was taken
My son was born last night. Cole George Stucki came at 5:55PM and weight 8lbs 7oz. He’s nineteeen inches long and has a head full of dark hair. Candace and I are so excited, and I’m so proud of her. There will obviously be plenty more on
Since we signed up for Netflix about six months ago, I’ve seen a lot of movies that I haven’t watched for a long time. These are the movies that you never think to grab at the video store, or they just aren’t stocked because they aren’t
As we get closer and closer to the baby coming (two more weeks), it’s interesting what goes thru the mind of a soon-to-be father. Here are some of the thoughts that I’ve been having: * * I’ve never been more focused in or dedicated to my daily gym workouts.
For those that might be interested, my wife Candace recently started a blog too. It can be found at CandaceStucki.com. She writes updates on our nearly formed baby and just beams her overall goodness. Speaking of the baby, it would be impossible to describe how excited I’m getting.
I think it is important to determine your favorites. Find things that you really enjoy. Partially because I think it will help you know yourself better. But also because it helps you build relationships with others. It’s always fun to know what others enjoy and it gives friends and
Each Sunday, I go thru old General Conference talks and BYU Devotional Speeches and print off copies of the talks I’d like to read. Then, I let those talks direct my personal study each morning during the week. When I find a talk that I really enjoy, I also
In college, my roommate and I would use our Macs to play a prank on friends. We would tell these people that “Macs could can hold a conversation just like a normal person.” Once they believed this fib, we would use one Mac to log into the other Mac via
I don’t usually post videos here, but this one was really interesting to me. It is a virtual rollercoaster made to ride the graph showing pricing of houses(adjusted for inflation.) Be sure to watch the blue line at the bottom for the corresponding years. Getting to the end
Candace and I really enjoyed watching the first few episodes of Planet Earth on The Discovery Channel last week. They are billing it as “an 11 part mini-series event” and it is incredible. The fourth and fifth parts are airing tonight. If you have a large HD television, you’ll
This morning I woke up at 3:50. By 7:00, I had read the USA Today, watched an hour of SportsCenter, watched the early morning news and read thru a few hundred news articles online. This is my usual schedule each morning. I don’t know what it was
I try to keep an eye on the speeches that BYU makes available. Any time that there is a speech posted by a General Authority, I like to put it on a cd and listen to it in the car. They offer the MP3 files free for this purpose. Just
At the recommendation of a friend, I sat down to read “As A Man Thinketh” by James Allen. It was wonderful. The book was published in 1902 and has been read and offered all over the world. It talks about the power of thinking and how your thoughts literally make
I went to New York City for a Michael Jackson concert. I left then the next day the twin towers were attacked. I went to visit the beautiful ruins in Palenque, MX and the next month there was a earthquake. I went to London to pick up my sister from
Our trip to San Franciso went well. The concert with James Taylor was really good. He was in top form on the guitar and in his showmanship. We had great weather. In fact, when we went up to Battery Spencer, it was probably the best weather I’ve ever had
