Oh how time flies

I can't believe how quickly time goes by. Last night I was talking to Christian and my father and I just realized how much has happened in the last twelve months. First and foremost, I have successfully dated a boy for eight whole months! Which, for anyone that knows me, knows this is monumental! And not only have we been dating for eight months, but its a healthy, happy, good relationship with a good man. I am in uncharted territory! ;-) I could go on and on about how amazing he is, but I will save that for another time.

I also purchased a couple large ticket items this year. First, Bucephalus, my motorcycle. And also a new condo! I have been looking for a place to buy for a couple years now. This place came up and it just fit perfectly with everything I was looking for; space, location, price, etc. It all just came together. For now, Christian has moved in and is enjoying being there. We were able to celebrate Christmas there and really enjoyed it.

"Santa" was very generous to both of us. :)


Christian got a new laptop from google! They are coming out with their own laptop that is supposed to be super easy and cheap and they sent him one for free to test out for them!



I was also blessed this year to be able to find a new job that I am really enjoying. I am working at an outdoor clothing company called "Kuhl" (pronounced "cool"). I am working in the customer service department. I was extremely grateful to have found a job that is still in the outdoor industry. Its something I enjoy being around.

As for the rest, I have enjoyed a year full of fun trips/vacations, hiking, camping, and other sorts of adventures. I went on lots of motorcycle rides including a ride up and around Yellowstone with my dad, a houseboat trip down to Lake Powell with my family, an annual camping trip with good friends, a ward campout, and many more.

I got the chance to go up to the Olympic Park in Park City and Luge! Given that probably my top favorite winter activity is sledding, that was pretty awesome, admittedly scary, but awesome.

All in all, 2010 has been a pretty amazing year. I hope you had just as full and enjoyable year as well. Here is to 2011! Cheers!
