Goodbye California

Well, after a year and one month, I will be moving out of my parents house and indeed my home state of California. I got a job in Murray, UT at Intermountain Health care Central Lab working in the chemistry department. While my dream was to get a job at the beach and live happily ever after, some of our dreams must be postponed.
If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be moving back up to Utah, I may have punched you in the face but today, I am excited.
I just have to say even though the government of this great state of California has played a big part of why I have finally decided to leave, I know that there is someone else that plays a bigger hand, and that is ultimately why I'm so happy.

San Fran

I went to San Francisco with my parents. It was mostly this:










And some of this...

This is New Years

Mas Christmas

Big giant heavy complicated tree.

Big tree in big mall. (can you see Cartier in the background? that's where we were shopping, duh.)

This is how I roll at the ward party, a girl on each arm.

Doesn't everyone play Bop'it under the Christmas tree?

Christmas morning


This is Christmas.

Leaning Tower of Cheap-sa

This is what you get for $12 at Shopko. It lasted three years and two moves, not bad.

Oh hey two thousand ten.

Welcome. This is my New Year's resolution post. I'm writing it down. So it will happen.

Or-go-nize is the theme this year. Most of my resolutions have something to do with organization. I've been telling people that my New Year's resolution is to become a clean freak. And you can't be clean without being organized, right?

a) My Room- I've been in my parents house a year but hopefully not for much longer and when I move out I want it to be relatively easy.

b) Money- I want to keep track of every dollar I spend. From car washes to giving a dollar to the bum on the street corner. I'm going to write it all down in a "little green book." You know, because money is green.

c) Photos- starting with the most recent, my trip to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and then on to my time at BYU, then in hawaii, etc... I would like to create and publish photo books and then compress and archive all photos so I can get them off my hard drive.

Within each resolution is also the commitment to KEEP it organized: no piles, no folders of random pictures, no late bills.

My motto is "A place for everything, and everything there".

So let it be blogged, so let it be done.
