About us

Robert is a computer 'geek' and I say that in the most affectionate way possible! He keeps our home network up and running. Right now he works for Convergys in Orem in their technical support department for Netapp. Rob has the most common sense out of anyone I've ever met. He also is one of the most 'creative' people I have EVER known. Within minutes of getting a 'new toy' he's got it taken apart figuring out how to 'maximize' it's potential.

Heather is a 'die hard' animal lover. Rob is VERY tolerant of her zoo. Right now she has 6 cats, 2 dogs, 5 birds, 1 RES Turtle, 1 Betta Fish, 1 Tank of guppies (see The Thompson Zoo) for more about their daily adventures. Rob is very understanding, and coming from a background of not really an animal lover other than birds, he's quite taken with them :) Heather works full time for her father at Camelot Pet Resort, Spa & Health Center in Bountiful, she is the Manager and Veterinary Technician. Heather is also an Independant Representative for several direct sales companies, she offers Gourmet Food, Scrapbooking, Pet Supplies, Candles and Natural Home Care products.

Learning from each other....

Rob and I have been married for 3 & 1/2 years (April 9, 2005) and I have learned so much from him, as he has learned from me. For example, I just switched the background on our blog and the text stayed the same color and made it hard to read. Since I met Rob I have become more web/internet/html savvy and was able to change the html to change the color of the fonts on our blog. 4 years ago I wouldn't have had a clue how to do that. I am so proud of myself! What a great teacher I've had!

Rob has learned how to love animals from me. He didn't really grow up around animals (for those who know me....you're probably laughing about now as I am an animal NUT, and have ALWAYS had a Zoo so to speak). It took some convincing but Rob is now an animal lover, although I think he prefers cats to dogs. Rob was actually pretty allergic to cats while he was growing up and when we were dating/chatting we weren't sure if I'd be able to own any of my cats. Well MIRACULOUSLY when we got married, he has done REALLY well with our cats, the only time he has issues is if he gets clawed or gets hair in his eyes. Rob also has a 'touch' with animals. He can calm even the most timid/scared of cats. Meiko is a 'foster baby' whom we are socializing at home this week. He has a heart defect, he is only 4 months old and has something called Patent Ductus Arteriosus. Anyways he is very nervous and scared, but look at how Rob's touch just calms...I've been told he has the same touch with screaming/crying children/babies.....he's going to make an AMAZING father!

Your blog looks great! Marriage does teach you things you never thought you would learn. I am definitely learning a lot from Brandon and loving every minute of it!
