What I Do
I get asked a lot about what I do for my job. I'll answer with "Im a GIS Specialist for the UACD and the County" but the inquisitor will usually still follow with a "What's that?" or "So... what do you do?". Its actually a pretty hard question to answer.
I could answer this question two ways:
1. If the person asking the question has had any experience with GIS then I would say "Im doing an irrigation assessment for Cache County."
2. If the person asking the question has not had any experience with GIS then I would say "Its kinda like google earth but its not a "read-only" type of software. You can update, edit and create your own data."
ESRI, the producer of the main GIS Software, states that: A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.
Blah Blah Blah. This post is probably boring everyone to death, but there it is. Its what I do
Since we GIS people believe a "picture is worth a thousand words", here is what my computer looks like at any given time:
Oh yeah. And Im thinkin that I will be going PRIVATE with my blog pretty soon. Probably in a couple weeks, so if I dont already have your email address then please leave it as a comment!

Mission Reunion
Yesterday Me and Jo took a special trip to Bountiful for Jordan's first mission reunion (I guess it was my first mission reunion too!). We had soooo much fun. It started at 7pm. They started off with spaghetti dinner and some yummy dessert. There were a lot of mingling and hugs during this time. They had a program after dinner with quotes and their "special mission song" then everyone introduced themselves and what they have been up to since the mission. There was also songs and testimonies in the program. We ended up leaving around 11pm! I really enjoyed myself. It was fun to see Jordan with his old mission buddies. They all love each other so much!! haha they were so goofy all night.
As the family historian I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of Jordan and his friends. -Picture: Mike Rasmussen, Pete Bennett, David Olsen, Clayton Wilson, Jordan, Kirk Bean
Alright single ladies the good-looking Pete Bennett and David Olsen are single and looking! Take advantage of that!
