Brand New Year!

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times... It has been a long hard year, but at the same time, it's been one of my best. Just to recap...I hit an empty stroller on the freeway with my car, we had to put my favorite cat to sleep, I lived with a difficult roommate, was homeless for a bit, (but found many friends as a result of this), found an enormous cyst and had to have surgery and had the most difficult two semesters of my life.

On the bright side though....I've met some of my best friends this year, got to go Scuba diving in Catalina twice, had one of my all time favorite church callings, found a great new place to live with good roommates, got to travel to Africa, England, Hawaii, and Washington, D.C., I graduated with my BS degree from Utah Valley University and did so with a 4.0 and landed 2 really great jobs right after. So the good stuff definitely outweighs the more difficult stuff.

2009 is starting out looking pretty good. I'm 28 years old and feel like I'm in my prime. :) Here's what's on my horizon: I have my 10 year high school reunion, I am looking into getting my private pilot's license, I should finish up my training to be a Scuba Instructor, and I actually have time to date. ;) So things are definitely looking good.

Thanks again to my family and friends for your love, help, and support. You are all an answer to prayers and my guardian angels!
