6-Month Roundup (Actually 8 month because I forgot to post this)

Well, as we all do, we apologize for not posting, but since really nobody reads this anyway I'm not sorry for not posting. But I figured I better recap my life for the last 6 months because, to be honest a lot has happened, but now that I am thinking about it...not a whole lot has, but I will see what mumbo-jumbo I can slap together for your reading pleasure.

So...here goes, a 6-month roundup of my life. (Actually 8 month because I am too lazy to post this on time.)

1. I started a new job and quit it all within one month. It was good but boring, and I didn't quit just to quit, I quit because I moved to California.

2. Yes, in case you have been living under a rock or don't talk to me at all, I now live in Arcadia, California. I got an internship with Edelman Public Relations. The worlds largest PR agency in the world. Yes, I am a big deal (not really).

2.5 I have also not posted this since I wrote this and now I have finished my internship in LA, and have coincidentally moved back to hell aka UTAH. But I actually love it here so I am not complaining. I also have a full time job and I am a big boy...at least that's what that $20,000 piece of paper tells me (my diploma)

3. I ran my first 5K on March 17. Say what? Nick ran...and not only did he run for like 50 meters, he ran for 5 kilometers...that's insane. Yeah, I have this new exercise kick. I love it. Get over it.

3.5 I also did a 10K after this...yeah that was crazy and now I am signed up for a Ragnar relay race in August...not really sure who stole my brain.

4. I crossed off a bucket list item for the first time in my life, I went to The Price is Right. Yeah, not a huge accomplishment but it was seriously one of the most fun things I have done. It was incredible. I highly recommend it.

5. I am doing a triathlon on June 9. I've been training for it now since February. I am down about 30 lbs.

5.5 I completed my first triathlon on June 9. I finished. I finished. I finished and that was all I set out to do. My time was 1:59:00. I was pleasantly pleased to find out that I didn't get last. Overall, I certainly didn't get last but even in my age group out of 8 people I didn't get last. Nick is no longer in last. Miracle of the day.

6. In the last 6 months I have become obsessed with cycling. I bought a road bike in February and haven't stopped riding it since. 2 weeks ago I did a 62 miler from Orange to Bolsa Chica State Beach and back. I nearly died (from exhaustion), so that was an experience.

6.5 I have also neglected this post yet again and have upgraded my road bike to a full carbon Scott CR1 Comp bike. I am literally in love with it and if I could marry my bike in the temple I would (just kidding...kind of). But I regularly bike...reaching almost 100 miles per week now. If you want to join me, I am happy to convince you of its greatness.

7. I am now a member of REI and I own a sleeping bag and tent. I'm also planning to purchase a new backpack and I'm hiking the High Sierras in July, so basically I'm not me.

8. I traveled to Las Vegas a few weeks ago to hang out with Lindsey Craft, Daniel and Casi Barnes and Whitney and Jarom Jordan, while that may not seem like a big deal, I literally drove there just to hang out and drove back the next day. I love being an adult and being irrational.

9. Oh, I graduated from college. (yes I remembered this as number 9 in my list)

10. I sang a solo in church (just kidding)

11. I got a new calling at church...I am now the assistant ward clerk over membership. That's right, I control your membership records. Time to add some fun details!

12. I moved in with some pretty great guys. They are seriously awesome roommates. If you ever want to know how cool they are...take me and multiply it by a bazillion and you still aren't even there.

13. I am still single...soooooo any lovely ladies want to go out for some FroYo?

14. Goals are the new Twinkies in my life. I highly recommend this philosophy. (Granted I hated Twinkies but you get the idea.) Choosing to set goals has really allowed me to soar high and do things I never thought possible.

15. I have also decided to write much more. I have  a lot more spare time on my hands since I graduated from college so get ready for some more posts.

Hugs.
