I don't know if anyone out there is reading this blog anymore - if not, it's probably my fault for not updating it on a regular basis. However, my life is starting to get a little more interesting and so I thought that I would rekindle my blogging flame and give it a go again.
"Interesting" defined: I am now in my second semester at BYU as a grad student studying public health, and have been accepted for an 8 week internship with the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland starting the end of April. I am also going to be spending some time back home in South Africa this summer working on my graduate project assessing a hygiene promotion intervention in the townships surrounding Cape Town. So... a lot of travelling and new experiences coming up which will hopefully make for some interesting posts. We (Traci and I) are going to try our best to make most of my travelling a family experience, so we'll see how that works out. Last, but definitely not least, by any means: Traci and I are expecting a little boy in March. We are so excited and can't wait to welcome him into our family. His introduction is definitely going to be a whirlwind, as (like I just mentioned) we are going to try make these summer travels a family affair.
So let me know if you're out there, occasionally reading my entries. I promise that they will start to become more regular and a little more interesting.
Till next time...

Hello Brother Spires. Just caught up to your blog. We too are expecting a little boy in March. Potential buddies?

I'll admit, I haven't read much of your blog lately; also, been really busy. But I'm sure I'll drop in every once in a while and see what musings you have written up. Good to see you have so much ahead of you. I'm jealous of your travels.

I may be old, but at least I'm ok with it enough to post pics of myself.


Congrats on the Mini-Mark!

Ok I don't check the blog as often as I want to, but I am jealous you are almost done with your Masters. I think mine is taking longer than my Bachelors. Congrats on the baby! You guys make some adorable kids.
