Wedding countdown: three months

I’m getting married in August. It’s only three months away. Still, I can’t wait.

When I first got engaged to Molly, the advice I heard most often from friends and family alike was to nod and smile. My friends who were already married or who were engaged themselves all told me that the wedding day is a much bigger deal to Molly than it will ever be to me, so I should be ready to agree with her, to help when needed, and to (most importantly) stay out of Molly’s way when I’m not needed.


Jordan's comprehensive plan for 2008

Interested in the city of Jordan's comprehensive plan for 2008?

Draft versions of the introduction, the natural resources inventory, and the demographic profile are posted online at http://www.jordan.govoffice.com/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={C5E359B9-6663-49C4-A953-390238D41058}.


Caught up in the moment

Right now, I’m caught up in a fervor of planning and excitement. It happens to me a lot. I tend to get an idea in my head and then just run away with it. Usually, it’s a building project or a plan of some sort, and as I get more and more into the idea, the bigger and more expansive (and expensive) my planning becomes.


Board to discuss long-range planning needs

Board approves crosswalk spending

The Jordan School Board approved spending up to $5,000 in order to designate a crosswalk near the intersection of Sunset and Cedar Lane drives.


Negotiators plan initial meeting

Jordan School Board negotiators and representatives of the district’s teachers union will begin meeting soon, Superintendent Larry Kauzlarich said.


School prepares for homecoming

Comprehensive plan updates cost as much as $113,000

As much as $113,000 could be spent on Jordan's 2008 comprehensive plan.


Do you know what day today is?

I have a desk calendar – the kind where you pull off a large sheet of paper for each month. Theoretically, it’s supposed to help me plan long-term projects and to keep track of my appointments.


Board to meet with city representatives

The Jordan School Board will meet with city representatives July 30.
