Nah.. .I'm not about trying to blog today dawg...

It's been a little while since I last wrote the entry, so I figured I would let people know a little bit more about me. First off, I'm a husband and love my wife more than I could ever write. (those of you who know Lainie know just how incredible she is) Secondly, My family and my faith mean everything to me, my mom and my sisters are the ones that raised me, and I'd like to think they did a great job. My Heavenly Father and I are very close and he is very involved in my life. Third, I love the Jazz, the Utes, and the 49ers, sports are a big part of me. I am currently at USU studying to be a social worker, I love helping people more than anything, just talking and listening. I currently work for Logan River Academy, which is a school/treatment facility for troubled teens. The kids there have taught me a lot, especially the latest lingo. Everything they say is ..."what's good!?" "Nah dawg," or "Are you serious right now?!" or my personal favorite "I'm not about to do this, right now." These kids are ages 14-17 and have faced stuff that most of us couldn't even think of. Mostly Drug, and anger problems, which usually means they've missed a ton of school, L.R.A. gives them the opportunity to catch up and get help, while staying in a very structured environment. (A Step below Juvenile Hall) My job is to take care of them while they are in the residence, I try to keep about 11 kids in line and on task. We play a lot of basketball, and catch, we eat, and watch movies, all while trying to be the disciplinarian. Its a lot of fun. The best is when the kids begin to trust me, and really open up about life and their problems, because then I feel like I'm able to help them the most. This is good training for Lainie and my dream of opening up our own treatment center one day. Can't wait to get started. If you have any other questions for me feel free to ask.

Peace,
Cody
