Passed the LEED exam!


The morning of the exam -- looking chipper and ready to roll (looks like he's heading off to his first day of college or something). Just hope there's still a smile in 3 hours!


Yep - 3 hours later, still smiling. He passed!  (the balloons are to celebrate!!!)

So, Allan has officially become a LEED AP (accredited professional).  LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a rating system established by the US Green Building Council for distinguishing and certifying buildings, construction projects, and developments as sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally smart. It's a great credential to have...and the first letters Allan can officially put after his name.  Now it's on to the LARE for Landscape Architecture licensing, which will take a couple years (five sections to the exam).

Allan great job on this achievment and Corinne for the assistance on study techiques. It seems that today it is more important than ever to add the letters after your name to set you apart from the rest of the crowd.

At the beach in San Francisco
During our Christmas visit to CA, we went to Baker's beach to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Welcome...

Yes, yes, we realize we're jumping on a bandwagon....but come on, it's just so much fun! How else can you turn yourself or your family into instant celebrities?! Or make everyone else think you have a perfect life...

Anyway, welcome to our newest addition! It doesn't cry or need attention. And no diaper changing. Whatever we tell it to do, it does (until the computer crashes). And we can sleep in on Saturday.

Well, life is good. We live in Connnecticut. You know, the place about which Glenn Close's character in the Stepford Wives said, "Where in America could a whole town of robots go unnoticed? Connecticut!"

Allan is working as a Landscape Designer and Corinne is working as a Singer/Dancer/Actress! We have the greatest church ward this side of the Mississippi - lots of big active families and our chapel is only 2 miles away. Allan serves as the 11 year old primary teacher and Blazer leader, and Corinne is the YW Personal Progress Leader. There are hundreds of young people in our ward, so it's busy!

Browse our recently added pictures, slideshows, and posts. We'll do our best to keep it updated.

The parade!

There is a big balloon parade put on by UBS, and they set everything up just outside our balcony -- cool!
