I have been reading everyone else's blogs and enjoy seeing what is going on in all your lives. So, I think it is only fair to share some of my life and thoughts every now and again. I think this will motivate me to record important events in a thoughtful way, since I know people will be reading.
I have enjoyed, thoroughly, the last 2.5 years at BYU. I have learned so many things. I still have one year left, but I know that when I leave I will be just beginning my life long education. Even at the end of my life I know that I will know relatively nothing when held in comparison to the wealth of knowledge to be had. That sometimes seems depressing, but I love knowing that I will never be bored in this life nor the next. I believe that I am just scratching the surface on my knowledge of religion, science, history, family, love, human pyschology, sociology, business, world cultures, language, fun, communication, charity, health, food, philosophy...see I could go on for days.
My journey in 2.5 years at BYU has led me to two important breakthroughs in my life. The first is my amazing and bellisima girlfriend, Jenn. We met at BYU, became friends for about 3.5 month, then we kissed. We have been dating seriously for about 10 months. 13.5 months later we are still becoming closer even though we are trying to work through the long distance relationship thing for about 5.5 more weeks. We can do it!
That brings me to the next big development. I have been living in Brighton, MI for the past 5 weeks while I do an internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers Detroit. Summing up what I do is quite simple. When you are looking to buy a used car the seller tells you all kinds of great things about it. That is great, but most people take it to a mechanic first...ah the ever important third party specialist who verifies and attests to the testimony of the seller. Sold. We do that exact same thing. When you hear in the news that Northwest and Delta are merging or that Bain Capital is buying Staples to turn it around, we are the third party hired in merger and acquisition deals. I love it because I always work with teams, and I will get to learn so much about different kinds of businesses. My goal in this blog is to record both important life happenings and great learning experiences. That's all for today!

i showed george your blog and he saw the title of this post and got a worried look on his face..."he's...gay?"
don't worry, i set him straight. [pun intended]
i'm glad you have a blog...maybe it'll inspire me to write more often in mine.
Yeah, another blog for me to check each day. I'm glad you started one! Of course I can also get your life's scoop at the dinner table each night too. hee hee. Ok, so keep up with writing on it...and Jenn, if you are reading this, you need to post more often on yours too! :)
By the way, who took that awesome picture of you guys. It must have been done by a professional and you must have paid big bucks for it. :)
Your internship sounds interesting! You should do something about your title, though!:)
haha, I guess my sense of humor probably doesn't translate well to the written world of blogs. So, I'll change my title - just to avoid any confusion. Besides if I end up meeting anyone in Provincetown when I'm there and they stumble onto my blog, I wouldn't want anyone to get any ideas!
Welcome! But thanks for letting me know! The ONLY way I found you is I happened to look at Jenn's blog (which I haven't done in a while because she doesn't post that often :) and saw your name in her list! I"m excited though! Now I have to go back to your titles cause I didn't have any thoughts about them. I think your title is clever though...Aaron's Accountings hee hee.
Aaron, your lack of posting is disappointing! So you've been tagged! Check my blog and get to work! Come on now!
I second Aubrey's tag.
