New Year Update

Well, since I've posted last a lot of things have changed or happened. First off, I got a second job working with my brother at Sony for PS3 technical support. I enjoy it, but it is hard to have two jobs, work about 60 hours a week, and work everyday. It's worth it so far, but the real payoff is going to be when I have enough saved to move down to Florida.
I also "left" BYU-I. I never liked it there, I never wanted to go there, and I never should have. After taking some classes for my major (history education), I realized I didn't want to be a teacher. I still don't really know what I want to do, so I'm taking a break from school until I can manage a plan. I of course had to move out of school housing, so I eventually moved across the street from my bro, and live with a co-worker from Sony. Things are going well, we just need some ladies to visit.
Some sweet/crazy trips have also taken place, as well. The first was the best, to sunny Florida in May. I went to see Polethe get married. It was great to see her again (2nd time in person, but we're such good friends), and to see her family again. Her husband is a great (and of course, lucky) guy, and has an awesome family. The Fishers are totally cool.
Also on the trip, I got to see some mission amigos. No one was as special to see as my favorite two Colombianas, Daniela and Lili. They are the best! Dani took me to Opa with some friends for some Greek food, and some great...entertainment. Her friends are pretty cool, but it sure is hard to be involved when everything is in Spanish. She and me had to cancel the trip to Miami, so we went to Blue Springs State Park instead. An amazing, beautiful place. I wish I had gone there on my mission, except that wouldn't be good because I'd want to go into the water. We had some fun at another birthday party, and another birthday party. I think that made three. It was fun. (Also cried like crazy watching the last episode of LOST. I was so emotional for weeks)
In the summer I went with Zack and some of his friends to a place by Rexburg called Packsaddle Lake. It's a place not even my friend Cort has heard about, so I don't think too many people know about it. It's about an hour hike in, not too bad. The lake is small, and extremely cold, being up in the mountains. There is a rope swing, a log used as a diving board, and enough camping spaces for a small group. There was a group up there for Girls' Camp actually, so that would be the second time I've been to GC. I hope to go back there this summer (the lake, not Girls' Camp).
For my birthday, I went down to Logan to spend it with my friend Paola. It was great. We had a good time together after her being home in DR all summer. I went down a couple weeks later and we went to an Ogden Raptors baseball game. Then we went to The Pie by Weber State. It was a great date. In November I went down for her birthday. We mostly just talked, sat around, ate, and watched TV. Always worth the drive.
In October, Daniela surprised me by going to Washington with her mom. I was able to leave for home that night, see them the next day, and take them around some amazing places in Seattle. I always wanted to have them visit Seattle, and it was an amazing trip home. They met my mom and little brothers, and we went up to the Seattle Temple for a bit. Then to Seattle Center, Pike Place Market, and the pier, eating no where else but Ivar's. It was only for a day, but the best trip to Seattle in a long time. I hope they can visit for longer next time.
For Christmas, the whole family was together for the first time since Spring of 2009. Not an extreme amount of time, but long enough. It was nice to have everyone in town. I had to work a lot, so I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted with them, but it was enough.
And now it's 2011. Hopefully this year will be better than last, even though last year seems like it wasn't all that bad. Things to look out for: buying a new (for me) car, saving up some cash, completing my AA degree at BCC (finally, after 7 years), and moving to Florida. I hope to move out of here before it gets too cold next year. Also, my little bro. will be baptized this year. Not much else is planned or expected, so we'll see how it goes.
