Currently I am living in New Orleans. Pretty funny "home" right now: me and two buddies rockin' a bachelor pad complete with ping pong table in lieu of a dining table. My apartment is in yet another neighborhood within the city, Broadmoor. It's a nice blend of comfortable residential and ghetto. Still working for the New Orleans Fire Department. It's going well. In fact, I really like it. Good guys, fun work, and it sure beats working for a living.

School is over. In the end, I focused on the history of a local park and the connection between the changing landscape and changing American values. Fascinating, I know. Random books, here I come. That's about it from this end. I could say more, but I'd prefer to show you. So come on down for a visit!

This is my twin brother Thomas. He is currently living in New York. After graduating from Drew University in Economics he lived in Berlin and, later, Washington D.C. Last year he spent 8 months teaching English in northern China. He is attending Cordoba Law School in Manhattan in.

This is my mom. Her name is Suzanne Olsen and she lives half the year in Spokane, Washington and the other half in Tucson, Arizona. While in Arizona she works as a guide for the resorts; demonstrating the areas history and beauty. She is 32 years old.

This is my brother Pete, his wife Shannon, and their boys Nick and Jack. They live in Seattle.

This is my sister Whitney (pronounced Whhoooo-itney), her husband John and their boy Caden. They live in Seattle.

These are my cousins Ben, Sam, John, and Joe. They all live in Provo. Their mom, Aunt Linda to me, still lives in Liberty Lake. Sam has his own blog at abramssam.blogspot.com.

These are my cousins Richard and Anna. Rich is living in Indiana and going to highschool. He plays hoops and, to our collective dismay, may become the best Abrams basketball player. Anna is in her second year of college and took an incredible trip to China this summer as a volunteer. Their mom, my aunt Cathy, is living in Seattle.

This is my cousin Jenny. She just got married to her long-term boyfriend Steve Fuhs. As you can see here in the picture, she has possibly the coolest job in the world: shamu trainer!

This my other cousin Allison. I don't have a picture of her and Jenny's parents, uncle Paula and aunt Anna. This is Allison throwing out the first pitch at a Padres game. She got the honor because she was voted best athlete at Sand Diego State for her performance as a coxswain.
