I found this little clip and found it interesting.
Enjoy!

What do you think?

My husband collaborated with other key figures in the state to get Utah’s Health reform bill written and it passed into law March 11, 2009. Yesterday, we got word that Dave’s Gubernatorial appointment was confirmed by the State Senate, so it is offical. I can now say, (brag), that my husband will be serving as the employer/employee representative on the Risk Adjustment Board to develop the business rules, policies and procedures for the new reform plan. They will also be pioneering a shared risk adjustment mechanism for the Utah Health Exchange.
This is not the first time I have been in awe at the knack Dave has for being brilliant. He is a great man and I know he will bring value and success to this new and daunting task. I am proud of him.

My family is the best thing in my life. I have a great family and feel very blessed.
Things change. I used to wonder what it would be like to add members into the family as my kids started marrying. Now we are 3 of 5 into that situation. It is fun to have that new dimension. I’ve been thinking of this as we are making plans for our upcoming family vacation.
I only have one son and four daughters so that one son has been a little out numbered all his life. I am excited to contemplate how he is going to have three new brothers on our next trip. Different, yes, but exciting. I can’t wait to get to our destination and dive together. EVERYONE dives! Isn’t that amazing? There will 10 of us this trip; the first trip we’ve all been able to make it together on for a few years.
I get all anxious and impatient everytime I think about it. We have been organizing our dive gear the last couple of weeks and each time we do, I just wish we were leaving tomorrow.

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down, or asked his wife or girlfriend to do it for him.
Finally , the guys’ side of the story.
( I must admit, it’s pretty good.)
We always hear ” the rules”
From the female side….
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered “1 ”
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.
( FIRST & FOREMOST RULE)
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down..
1. Sunday sports, It’s like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are.
Don’t ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it , just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” We will act like nothing’s wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle..
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, Expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… Really .
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football
or Hockey.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;
But did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.

The thought occured to me today as my family is doing so much to make this my special day…Mother’s Day is the day your family forces you to watch them prove to you how much they don’t need you.
I’m joking of course. My family is (almost all) here. Hubby cooked a delicious meal. The kids set the table and cleaned up, etc. I love my family and I love that they work so hard to show me they reciprocate the sentiment. As for the ones not here today, I miss you, I know you’d love to be here if you could. I am excited to come and visit you soon.
To my family: I love you!

| Monthly Statistics |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| From: |
Taylor Oldroyd, CEO Utah County Association of REALTORS® |
|
| Subject: |
Monthly Statistics- March 2009 |
|
|
| |
| |
1 |
Onward and upward. March stats demonstrate our market is moving in a positive direction.
Home sales are up 11 percent compared to Mar of 2008. |
|
| |
2 |
This comes on the heals of a 13 percent bump from January to February alone. |
|
| |
3 |
Challenges still exist as we see YTD sales are down 8 percent to 817 units sold, median
sales price slipped 6 percent to $210,000, and DOM are 23 percent higher to 96 days. |
|
| |
4 |
But homes priced above $500K showed significant recovery with March experiencing a 7 percent
increase from last year and YTD up 13.5 percent. Homes above $1 million are way up as we have
had 8 homes sold already this year and last year only 15 sold the entire year. |
|
| |
5 |
Listings of all types are down 5 percent to 4,542 |
|
|
| Summary: |
The perception of a weak market has always been one of our challenges. I’m confident that with
positive news in March, we can begin to turn some of the perceived concerns and help give needed
confidence to potential buyers. Clearly the weather is improving and sales are up. |
This is good news from the Utah County Association of REALTORS®. For more information on this go to http://ucaor.com/statistics.htm
May 5, 2009
