Bringing in the new year

I always love the new year.  Its a time when you get to take the slate and wipe it clean and start all over again.  This year, although actual new years eve was nothing to write home about, the rest of the week was a blast.  My good friend J R Hancock came to town and we had a blast from the past and spent a week of just the two of us hanging out.   December had be.  So we decided that we were going to do everything we could that was fun in a matter of en crazy town for both of us, as we are both working on our masters and working full time, along with trying to have a social life, maintain family relations, and not gain a million pounds. So we decided to spend the first few days of the new year unwinding and just having selfish fun.  I didn't take pictures of most of it (because to be honest we looked homeless most of the time) but here is a brief overview of how I brought in the new year.  

We started new years day by taking my car for its first ride up to big bear where we met up with some good friends.  I was so excited to snowboard and it couldn't have been a better day.  Spending time with good friends, snowboarding in warm weather, with super short lines!   





We filled the rest of the week with activities such as swimming, hot tubing, hiking, bike rides, rollerblading (yes... and proud of it), attending the temple, buying a bike, buying couches, attending a BYU-H reunion party, plenty of trips to yogurtland, and lot and lots of guitar hero world tour. 

It was so fun to have Julie here. We spent pretty much the entire 5 days together and we didn't get in one fight.  Miracles really do happen.
