Brittany had her first Still Middle School track meet this week and did very well. She competed in 3 events: 1) Shot Put, 2) 1600 meters, and 3) 4o0 meters. Her shot distance was almost 15 feet (which is pretty good considering her size and weight). She ran the mile in 8:29, and ran the […]
Today, the last day of our 4-day spring break, 1500 mile road trip (Sunday – Wednesday), we visited the Kirtland Temple on our way home. The Community of Christ has done a nice job keeping the temple maintained. They have added a new visitor center addition since we were last there: a theater where, after
After we visited Kirtland (see previous post), we drove to Palmyra where we stayed at the new and beautiful Palmyra Inn (two thumbs up if you go there and need a place to stay). Today we saw the sites around Kirtland (the Hill Cumorah, the Grandin Building, the Sacred Grove, the first log cabin, the
Well, spring break is here and as is typical of the Halliday family, we decided to do a road trip! Our destination: LDS Church sites in Kirtland, OH and Palmyra, NY! Yesterday we drove the 6 1/2 hours to Kirtland, visited the John Johnson Farm (in Hiram, OH), and today enjoyed the sites in Kirtland.
My newly designed web site is now up and running and available for you to take a look at! All you have to do is use the same old URL and you will be redirected: http://www.kirkhalliday.com. There’s still a few things I’m working on, like updating my resume, and linking into photo albums, but other
We did it! We had an injury-free weekend! No stitches for Ben, no sprains for Sarah, no other bumps or bruises! We were hoping we wouldn’t have 3 weeks in a row with something happen! 🙂 We did have a hugely busy Saturday, however… It all started at 6:30 where Sarah worked until 1pm at
Like other faiths, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sometimes finds itself on the receiving end of attention from Hollywood or Broadway, television series or books, and the news media. Sometimes depictions of the Church and its people are quite accurate. Sometimes the images are false or play to stereotypes. Occasionally, they are in
I’m am currently involved in a year-long leadership training program where we meet for 2 days every 6 weeks, participate in many leadership activities, listen to CIO and CEO presentations, and read/discuss 35 books on leadership topics. We also have an activity the first evening of every session. We just finished the second session and
Just after Benjamin turned 1, he was weeble-wobbling around (his version of walking), fell, and hit his head on the corner of Sarah’s bed. He now has 5 stitches right on the edge of his right eyebrow. Ouch! Sarah felt horrible and freaked out at all the blood running down his face when she picked
Today was Ben’s big first birthday! We had a little family party for him and he loved digging into his cake and getting all messy! It’s hard to believe that our little guy is already 1!
Ouch! That sounds really bad. The kids like to remind me of how old I am as well. Today (2/7), I hit the big 40 and Angela threw a small party for me. It was fun to get together with friends, some of which were coming up on the big day, and others who had
At work, we just created a leadership program and I was selected to be one of the first participants! 🙂 I am participating in a year-long program through the Society of Information Management (SIM) called the Regional Leadership Forum (RLF). The group meets every 6 weeks, participates in leadership discussions/activities, listens to CEO/CIO presentations, and
