January 1



This first photo of the year makes me so happy. We had a HUGE party at our house last night. We cleared out the couches and speakers in my basement and set up a dancefloor. Upstairs we had karaoke and in one of the unrented rooms we set up Rock Band.
At first we had close to a hundred people in my house and I didn't know 80% of them. But it died down a little later as people made their rounds of parties that night. We ended up with about 40 people and I knew all of them.
I invited my good friend Maren to the party. I met Maren about 5 years ago in my parents' ward. She's quite an amazing person. She was valedictorian when she graduated from the U of U. She was Jasmine in Disneyworld for a few years while she worked on her law degree. Next month she is going to take the Florida Bar (she's already has passed California's). It made me happy she came. It's her silhouette in the photo.

2010 Goals

(My blog is now open to everyone. You can ask me if you're that curious. :) )

Resistance is Futile, Resilence is Inevitable

One of my goals this year is to remember each day with a photo. Sometimes it will be with my phone, sometimes it will be with my Canon 40D, sometimes with my Elph and sometimes I may not take the picture, but I find it significant for that day. I bet I can put 365 journal entries in by doing this.

PS I like typing 2010, it makes me happy.

2004 "A New Journey Begins"
2005 "To Infinity and Beyond"
2006 "What Dreams May Come"
2007 "The Winds of Change"
2008 "I Will Go and Do"
2009 "In the Path of Greatness"
2010 “Just Keep Swimming” or The Year of Precision
The reason behind this year’s title is simple: I believe it will be a very trying year. I have every reason in the world to be stressed out right now, but I know that if I rely on the Lord, I will be able to not only get through my trials, but I will bounce back, stronger than ever.
I have subtitled this year, "The Year of Precision". I was taking my roommate to the airport this morning and it came to me that I am going to work harder and smarter this year in all aspects of my life. I am going to become physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger than I have ever been.
