Olympics and Books on tape

I have really been enjoying a few small things in life lately. My wife, of course, is the best thing that ever happened to me, and we have been enjoying two things we love to do together, watching the Olympics and listening to books on tape. The Olympics have been very exciting to watch! We love the diversity of sports they are showing, and are looking forward to the new sport, "dog sledding". It has been really fun cheering on the United States, and even more, I know an Olympian! Lt Fogt is on the American Bobsled team. He was in the UVU ROTC program with me.
Kat and I have also been listening to the "Children of the Promise" series by Dean Hughes. It is a great series and we love listening about a Mormon family in the middle of World War II. I have read them before but it has been a long time since I read them. It is good to refresh up on history. I have also been listening to "The Chronicles of Narnia" while at work and it is a great series. I can't believe the Parallelism it has with the Gospel. I am grateful for great books and great technology to let us enjoy small and simple things in life.

This makes me want to hear a book, actually. Or I guess I should say listen to a book on tape, lol.
