Movin' on up!

We went a house huntin' this weekend and found this little gem...
We love it, which is a good thing, because we're moving in this Saturday! The pictures don't quite do the house justice, but don't worry, before long you will be plenty tired of seeing photos of this place...stay tuned!

Does this baby make me look fat?

Alright, if you haven't heard the news already, we're having a baby (Yes, just one. No, the twins story was just for April Fool's Day. Yes, I'm sorry you got your hopes up about that. No, I can't promise I will never do that again).

While we briefly decided to keep the gender of the baby to ourselves, we're letting you in on it, but only on one condition…you help us figure out what to name it.

The rules are simple: Submit any names you like, but please take it seriously. If you absolutely insist on naming the child "Kermit" or "Brangelina" and in some sort of overly hormonal state I fall madly in love with your submission, you will be invoiced for any future counseling sessions little Kermie or Brangie has to attend in order to cope with the endless playground taunting he will undoubtedly endure. Yes, I said "he", as in it's a boy!

The winner of this contest will receive bragging rights and first dibs on our second born child. Good luck!

I’m in Utah and I like it so far. It’s been quite a winter, lots of snow. I work for a Health Benefits Solution provider called Zane Benefits in Park City. My commute is beautiful; I drive up the mountain just east of Salt Lake. Yesterday I saw a moose on right the side of the road. I think he was sleeping. I started living in an apartment in Sugarhouse, which is just south of Salt Lake City but that got too expensive. I now live in a friend’s basement in Riverton. The basement is pretty nice. I can play pool and watch movies on a big pull down screen. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.



I went back to California this past weekend and spent time with Mikey. I saw him coach two games in San Mateo and we had San Benito sandwiches on Monday. I wanted to bring an apple strudel home for friends to enjoy (then eat it in my basement room by myself in quiet shame) but the HMB bakery is closed on Mondays. The spring is coming and hopefully my contributions to this blog will be as abundant as the blooming daisies (and just as pleasant to the senses) Please tell your friends about the Barragan Family Blog. It’s a good thing. Good thing.
