Clint and I go way back. Back before we even knew each other. See, we lived in the same dorm at BYU. We never met. We both went to Notre Dame. Didn't meet until a neighborhood bbq prior to our final year there. He looked familiar, almost V-Hall ish. And thus began our friendship. Cue the sappy Thanks for the Memories . . .
I won't bore you with Clint stories, but I'm here to help him regain his dignity, which he thinks may be lost. From an email I received earlier today:
"I’m getting a little nervous that I’m the only blogging male I’ve ever met in person. Wives? They post on a regular basis. I don’t see any Ryan Ferrell posts. No Brian Woodward posts. Is this a sign that I’m more awesome? Or less awesome? Probably less, right?"
Clint, you are more awesome. The rest of us just don't have that much to say. Or we're too boring. Or too self-conscious to expose our lack of writing prowess to the world. Whatever it may be, you are now no longer alone. My apologies to Megan.
Go Cougars.

How moving, Brian. TBT is lucky to have guest blogging of such talent. Have you considered a full-time staff blogger position? I feel like my man card is back in good standing.
That is only the beginning, my friend. Someone needs to provide fuel for your creative fire.
Clint, you should check out Joe and Jenn Haroldsen's blog. He does all the family posts (well, most of them). I also have several male friends who have blogs and they are some of my favorites to read. I enjoy a perspective different from the normal sappy mom/wife/girlie posts. Refreshing, thank you!
Cute picture of Chandler and Carson. I think it is great that you blog and I enjoy reading it (in fact I was a little miffed when you didn't post for a really long time). How was Brian able to hijack your blog? Are you guys just as horrified with Notre Dame football as Ryan is right now?
Thanks for the encouragement, Wendy. I think you have a good point about seeing the other gender's point-of-view. That is unless the other gender is talking about some cute, crafty thing they just bought (or wish they had bought). There should be some kind of button I can click to totally block out those posts. My beautiful, wonderful sisters are the primary guilty parties of this.
Emily F.: Thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to avoid such lengthy blogcations(now that I'm somewhat inspired by my "champion" graphic).
To your question: Yes and no. On the one hand, it's too bad ND had such a ridiculous season last year and doesn't appear to have anything resembling a BCS Bowl-playing team this year.
On the other hand, they're 2-0 and have won almost as many games so far this year as they did all of last year--so at least we've got that going for us.
On the other hand---well, nothing. I've just always liked the idea of having adding a third hand whenever I get going in that direction.
Good thing you added "beautiful" and "wonderful" before your harsh words:)
Clint, don't pretend you don't like the crafty cuteness... I know your interested in the latest Anthro sweater or a great deal on a pair of pumps. love, Em
Clint, I was looking at my sister's blog, which led me to Emily's blog, which led me to your blog. What a darling family you have, and what an entertaining blog! Much love, your old RHS schoolmate, Torre
