Hello everybody...a lot has happened in the nearly 4 months in which I have failed to blog.

Most notably...my Grandfather Clinton Russell Sagers passed away on July 5th. He was a great man and his legacy to me will always be one of hard work, light-heartedness, heroism and love for his wife and family. His passing was not a time of sorrow for me. It was a time of reflection and celebration of the life he had led and the fact that he was reunited with my grandmother who had passed 3 years earlier. He was honored with newspaper articles(Salt Lake Tribune/USA Today), TV newscasts, blogs, and facebook statuses/posts/fanpages. Amidst the flurry of praise and honor of a life well-lived I could not help but wonder how I would honor my grandfather. I decided that my grandfather(and my grandmother), although appreciative of words of praise, would be much more pleased if I honored them by the quality of life I choose to lead. I do not mean that my life would have to be one of fame and fortune. Not even close. I'm talking about a life which would bring continued honor and respect to the name Sagers. That if someone knew my grandparents, then met me, they could say they could see the resemblance in my work ethic, or affability. I guess, more than anything, I would want them to be proud of me. Whether that is vain or not, I don't know, but I think it is a good goal to shoot for.

Let's see...other news: life is good. Still at the ol' Wells Fargo. Still got the ol' house with 4 roommates. I have had two roommates move out because they got married and another one will be doing so in November for the same reason. So if you're looking to get hitched just come and live at my house for a bit. Luckily, everyone is looking to rent so I haven't even had to look for renters. They just come to me. It's kinda cool. I gotta guy putting stucco on the outside of the unfinished garage addition. He knocked on my door and gave me a quote I liked and the rest has been history. He should be finishing up here pretty soon. It's lucky he came by too because, although I know it needed to be finished before winter, I was having an incredibly hard time wanting to put siding on myself. Let's see...I have a girlfriend now and that is going along quite smoothly...to say the least. I am optimistic.

Sorry there are no pictures or videos...I needed to get a blog out there...and didn't care if this was fancy or not.
