Life Before Vegas

After Mom and Dad Haslam moved away back to Utah it was Emilee and I living in Boise. Her family was there and active our lives though. I was finishing school at BSU and Em was going also preparing for nursing school. Las two years were awesome.... we were living by ourselves on her old family farm miles from any neighbor's but just outside of town. Exactly one mile down on old dirt road dead ended at our home with a garden, big yard and amazing views all around. During this time I finished getting a Construction Management Degree at Boise State. I worked a variety of jobs. Everything from ski patrol, farming, selling sporting goods, selling cars, building houses, driving tractors, making pizzas....all kinds of good stuff. Emilee also went to BSU and and worked in home health care and at St. Luke's Hospital as a Telemetry technician and also a CNA and Unit clerk. We love the outdoors and also went snowmobiling almost every weekend November through June and I even managed to put together a sled video with a friend. This was defiantly a fun and exciting time in our lives and we enjoyed it together!

Well... what the heck! Can't hide forever.


This is the first post of my blog an i promise nothing! Could end up being a masterpiece and getting us on Leno, Letterman, or maybe just maybe even OPRAH!!! But not likely. I don't like her show anyway. Emilee does. So here we are in Las Vegas now for over two years but the story begins long before that when we were in Idaho. I guess we have some catching up to do but it is late and there will be time for that latter. So this will have to do for now. Hello and goodnight.
