To the New Year

Well, it's 2012. I spent my first day of this year spending time with the woman I love and relaxing from the chaos we've had to deal with at work this holiday season. 2011 was a good year. It had it's ups and downs with the biggest down happening through the beginning of October, with many ups throughout the rest of the year. But that's all history. What's gonna happen this year? Well a few things are already going on. I'll finish culinary school this year and me and Brooke are deciding what to do and where to go next. On the list of possibilities there's been London, back home to Utah, Portland or Arizona for more schooling, and a few more. We'll just see what happens. I've been thinking recently about new years resolutions. Basically they are things that we hope to achieve to make our lives easier, happier, healthier, and...well...better. Some try to make life better for others. Others just wanna get by. As for me I want to make this year better than the last. I want to see myself and my family progress and move up and forward. I'm a little nervous to make some of the decisions that will need to be made this year but I know I won't have to make them alone. I'm excited for all the adventures I'm going to have this year and the new experiences that will hopefully help me and my family grow. When you really think about it, it's nice to not know what's going to happen ahead. We can hope and plan a few things along the way but life will happen as it's supposed to happen. All we can really do is be the absolute best we can, working hard and doing what we know is right, then leaving the rest to God. I don't know exactly the purpose for writing this particular post other than to get some thoughts and feelings out of my head and into the world. To close I just wanna say I love you, to all of you that should know I love you, particularly my wife and all of my family and friends both here and at home. You all have made me who I am today and I'm thankful to have you all in my life. I wish you all the best and hope that everything you would like to accomplish this year can happen for you. To a happy new year!
