Where did Shawn go??

I have had some inquiries about my husbands blog. Shawn had some calls from people in his BYU ward saying that when they got on his blog their computer freaked out. So he checked it out. Sure enough their was a computer pop up telling him to close out but never allowing him to . Im sure that is not a very technical explination. Bottom line he felt like his only alternative was to shut it down. I know the house didnt burn down. I didnt loose all the baby pictures but Im feeling really sad. Their were stories I had never heard before, dog humor , irritations, loves sad and poignant moments. This really feels like a loss to me. I tried to recover it by typing rowleysd.blogspot.com
into google. Some of his titles actually came up but I could not retrieve the actual content. So Im not a tech genius but if you have an idea let me know.

In the mean time. If this is your journal or a record of your life do something to preserve it and tell me how to do the same. Blogging started out as a fun connection to family but ultimately its a record of my very personal thoughts , some I didnt even know I had until they were written in front of me . I have learned so much more about each of you threw your blogs. Conversations that never happen in our bustling get togethers . I think when we are typing in a room alone we are safe and free to explore raw thoughts and feelings and then we expose them in ways that we might not other wise. Anyway its good stuff .

Carpe Diem

Oh how I have loved our little summer adventures.

We havent had alot of money nor time but these days are pricelss. I have a hand written calender of the events we need to be to over the next two weeks. Its packed but i wrote go night fishing for Thursday the 30th. My new 4 day week is great for this reason. So I came home made dinner everyone took a nap and at 10:00 we headed for the lake. By great luck we followed the mosquito ebatement truck in or the gate would have prevented our very late entrance. Their was no one fishing. Me, Shawn , Gab, Becca, and that other Shawn set up shop on the dock in the moon light. Shawn spent most of the night bating our hooks, weighting our line, retrieving and setting free our mud cat fish. BUT there was this one moment when he tried a a fishing secret passed to him by a Utah Lake old timer. ( He s got his ways of talkin to people until thery pur and share their best kept stuff.) So I think he had 2 jigs on or not but any way it was 4 pound test line. Im at the other side of the dock and hear some comotion. Tay or ( Shawn I mean) headed with the net to help. Then I hear him squealing Dad its huge its gonna pull me in. They fought the monster for several minutes mostly so it wouldnt break the line and we could see who the contender was. I think my husband was hoping for a prize winning Bass but out comes this mustard colored Carp it was M O N S T E R O U S . Certainly 20 pounds of fun. We all touched its big scales and set it free . We all caught a fish only one went home. But sittin in a camp chair with a poll in the water watching the lapping water against the dock, relaxing in the warm but pleasant night air and the big yellow moon . Well it was better than sleep . Which we did not have until about 3:30 but what fun.
