The One With Phoenix-ing

Many of us have probably heard of "planking" and "owling" but I just got to throw out there that the newest rage has evolved from the especially ingenious mind of my better half.

For those of you who didn't go to University of Phoenix, and don't ever plan to, you may not see it, but for those of you that have or will, I guarantee you will come into contact with "phoenixing" at some point, and I just want you to know where it came from - ERIC!

Eric came up with the idea, got numerous pictures at OSU's stadium and vaious other locations with his buddy from work, sent out the email to the ENTIRE company, and about a week ago he got a phone call AND a face-to-face meeting with the Vice President of the entire University of Phoenix organization and "Phonexing" now sits on the Marketing Director's desk with Eric's name attached to it. Eric is to be involved in the campaign to take Phonexing GLOBAL - yes you heard that correct, as in WORLD WIDE!!!! Did you know University of Phoenix has campuses all over the world?? Well they do! And Eric's name will now be travelling to all of them.

Not only was the entire Idaho Graduating class in May asked to do the Phoneix pose during the ceremony but Eric has received over 300 pictures in the last month with employees and students "Phoneixing" in their daily lifes.

On our return home from Mat's homecoming, we had to stop at the 45th parallel - half way between the equator and the north pole - for a picture.

I tell you . . . . this man is headed for some GREAT things!
