No tv and still surviving


Contrary to popular belief, there is life after television. Leigh has proposed, against fierce but loving protest by her ESPN addicted husband Matthew, that the purchase of a television and cable TV package should wait until we are somewhat established and have some steady income from which to budget(if that's what we choose...) Matt comes from years of training himself to be aware of virtually everything associated with sports television in the month of March (ahh the ruckus that is March madness!..)lest he should be left unprepared for any water-cooler conversation that starts with, "Did you see that game..." sadly, at this point, Willie would have to retort sheepishly..."No, No I didn't"... Sad it is, but not to fret, this lack of tube time has allowed us to get spend a majority of time doing old-fashioned, out of date things like... talking with each other... visiting friends... setting goals... contemplating future plans... and even growing closer by enjoying each others company... I know, you are all asking yourselves, "should I call comcast and set up an intervention?"... but rest your minds, all is well. The time has been a refreshing reminder of what is needful in life.
Ah how the events in our lives are colored by our environment... We were excited to share our first sunday together actually attending our proper ward that we are officially supposed to be attending-(the previous 3 sundays were the product of traveling, and/or misinformation about start times, etc...) Church here starts at 9 AM sharp, much to Leigh's delight...missed the first hour because both of us were not in the know about daylight savings. Leigh's optimism thought it a blessing.
Other news:
Matt's brother Mike got married to Melissa on March 9th. It was the second greatest marriage of 2007.
Leigh graduated from Real Estate school and will be taking her licencing exam this coming week and then be putting her whatever it is to the grindstone to make some money for the Williams' team.
Matt starts a fantastic job with Aaron Trammell and crew working construction this next week. We are stoked about the good company and great opportunity until medical school comes our way.
