Makin UV Better: New York

2010 is over. Thank the Almighty Creator (Jeff Bridges in Tron). 2010 has been a trip for sure; one that I won't soon forget. But I am very excited for 2011 and a fresh year to work with. LET'S HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS.

At the beginning of 2010, I was in Amarillo, TX. A spunky little town known for its strip clubs and big 72 oz steaks. This is a picture of Cadillac Ranch (a place where Cadillacs just stick out of the ground). This is what Amarillo considers a tourist attraction..

Amarillo was bitter cold and I had to BIKE in it. Everyone there would say, "This is the coldest, most snowy winter we've ever had. I feel sorry for y'all bikin'." Thanks, Amarillolites.

February 24th (My birthday) was pretty nonexistent as it landed on transfers. I think I went to a chinese buffet to celebrate. I DID buy my infamous cowboy boots around this time though.

A few weeks later, I was moved to Lubbock. In Lubbock I was put in charge of about 50 cars. I was the Vehicle Coordinator, but I was also known as Car Tsar and Fleet Commander.

On August 11th, I finally made it back to my family and friends, it was probably one of the happier moments of my life. Lots of fun.

After Getting home, I took a couple of trips to the concrete jungle; New York.

I won't get into the details here, most of you know the story, but let's just say that sometimes love hurts and other times love leaves you alone in the Bronx. And while you wander the Bronx alone in the middle of the night, you have to deal with shifty taxi drivers and eventually sleep on the floor at the JFK airport with a bunch of Europeans.

Besides the NY ordeal, being home has been great. I've enjoyed time with family and friends. Some of the more important things that have happened include:

1. I started Blogging. (Thanks to Anna Mae Spencer for that one)
2. I finished my 3rd Semester at UVU. (Makin UV Better!)
3. I got a job as a grader for the Online public speaking class.
4. I defeated Evan Spencer in a game of NBA 2k11, 91-90. I hit a shot with less than a second (.8) remaining on the clock. Greatest game of the year.

6. I started coaching my first high school basketball team with Nick Piepenbrok.
5. I enjoyed my first Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family in nearly 3 years.
