#022 – Happy New Year

Happy New Year!  It is has been some time since I sent out one of these emails.  Life has been really great and I am getting ready to start another exciting semester at BYU tomorrow.  Some highlight from this last semester of school included becoming a resident of the state of Utah and purchasing a remote start system for my truck.  It is really nice because I can start my truck from about a mile away and by the time I am ready to drive off, it is already warmed up and ready to go.

 

I have taken up snow shoeing and that has been a blast.  The nearest mountain trail is about ten minutes from my house.  My roommate has a 5 month old yellow lab who loves the snow and it has been fun.  Christmas and New Years were pretty tame this year as I spent it in Salt Lake with from friends.  Other than that, life continues onward.

New Years Dinner – I made my dad’s special pasta primavera and it was by far the best pasta that any of my friends had ever tasted. I cooked with shrimp, chicken, vegetables and some unique spices to give a great flavor. (Thanks Dad)

Snow Shoeing – This is my roommate Charlie from Salt Lake and I snow shoeing in Mill Creek Canyon.  It is very beautiful.

Toyota Tacoma:  This is my baby. I don’t know how I ever survived living in Utah without a great truck. I have spent a few extra bucks doing some after market upgrades.

Snowy Day – This is outside my place and the tree looks beautiful.  Winter isn’t all that bad.  Pretty days like this make it worth it.

There are many more pictures and I will eventually find a way a to present them.  I am looking forwarded to purchasing a professional grade camera so I can take even more stunning pictures.

 

Happy New Year!
