Becca's Blog Dichotomy

To post or not to post. That is the question.
Or is the question whether or not I have anything valuable to add to this space? Perhaps. I suppose you can be the judge of that.

So I was duped into starting a BLOG.
I've been trying to figure out the best way incorporate myself into this enterprise of "exhibitionism." I know, it's what all the kids are doing these days. I've always been kind of a private person... Just an introvert, I guess. (What ever happened to "and the meek shall inherit the earth."? You know?)

But if you want my business up in your face, I guess I can bring it.
If you are ready to enter my nutshell, let's proceed.

First of all, I think that a picture can tell a thousand words.
If you can conceptualize a twenty-three year age progression, that's about what I look like now -minus the silver chicklets.
A bit about me...
*Born and raised in Layton, Utah. Two brothers, two sisters. Two parents- who, by the way, were decidedly done with childbearing when I unexpectedly announced my presence. (That was the first instance of my redeeming abilities).
* Graduated from Layton High School ten years ago. Top of my class. Eh- Hm.
* Attended college at Harrison High- I mean Weber State University. Studied abroad for year in the Aggie Alps, and ultimately graduated with my MBA a couple of years ago. Eh? What's that you say? That wasn't an MBA? Just a BA? Why the heck did it take so long then? Oh, your not supposed to change you major three times? Okay, I obtained a seven year bachelor's degree from WSU- in Business Administration, to be exact. But hey, I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I worked pretty hard to put myself through college, while simultaneously working my way up the corporate ladder.

But hey, let's back up. I met the man of my dreams about eight years ago. Ten years ago, actually. Tall, dark, handsome, and all that good stuff... But the magic didn't happen for a couple of years after that. I eventually caught his eye with my mad bowling skills and he decided to take a shot. He wooed me and I wooed him right back , and eventually I convinced him that he may want to marry someone like me. Long story short, we've been married six years and two months.

It took some time before we propagated. But like I said, I was pretty busy during the early years of our marriage. And like they say, good things come to those who wait. Benjamin Rhett Reisbeck entered the picture on October 30, 2006. He is the light of our lives! You've seen his profile. You know what I'm talking about.

I work part-time handling the financial affairs of a little place called Apple Village. No, it's not an orchard. And yes, I am still there after nearly a decade. It's called false imprisonment! Kidding. They haven't been too terribly oppressive or communistic, so I have stuck around. Besides, I get to work from home quite a lot, so I can be apart of my son's life. In the meantime, I've acquired some pretty good skills, knowledge, and experience to further myself en route to take over the world.

Well, that was a couple of minutes of your life that you will never get back. I apologize for that. But this is just the ultra-condensed and overly-edited version of my mere existence.
I promise to bestow more meaningful entries in the future.

Just in case you were wondering...

The non-de-script picture shown below is Rhett... hoopin' it up a few years back- you know, before the injury. He forgot to mention that.

Bonjour je m'appelle Rhett


So, just to introduce myself, I am Rhett, not Brett, Rex, or Redd. It a "Gone With the Wind" thing that my mom liked back in the day.  I am happily married to a beautiful little lady named Becca(check out her pics if you need confirmation).  We live is this lovely windy town called south weber with 1 kid, Ben, and 1 cat, Cody.  Anywho enough about them lets talk about me. 
My talents: Well am pretty good at fixing things, and I have a pretty good sense of direction.

My pastimes: Sports used to be a big part of my life, but I had to retire due to an injury to my hand a few years back.  But I still like the hoops, just don't hardly play anymore. I also used to speak this crazy language call Quebecois (french) but i don't use that anymore and lost it.
I now work in the insurance industry at my family's agency, and talk insurance all day.  It pays the bills, kinda, but not everyone can be independently wealthy and travel around the world in a private jet.  Now I just look forward to getting home every night to see Bec and Ben.  Although on occasion I have to go and do church stuff, and I am part of our homeowners association board meetings.  The HOA thing is really annoying, but it always reminds me of Bobby Dooley on the phil hendrie show.  I do like to listen to talk radio, and phil is my favorite.  Check him out if you get a chance www.philhendrieshow.com 

This is a glimpse at he who is Rhett.
