Mid-January Update

Things have been going well these last couple weeks. I'm on a new project for work, and that's going well. Institute started back up and we picked up right where we left off. I'm glad to have an awesome Institute instructor, Bro. Bushman. He has taught me a lot so much already. I'll be sad when I'm done with New Testament.
The Gators won the Gator Bowl, beating OSU. It always helps winning the last game, but we did that last year and it didn't really do much for us this season. But, Weiss left to coach KU, so we have a new OC, Pease from Boise State. Just look at BSU's offensive production, and Alabama wanted him, and you'll know why I'm happy we got him. Gators b-ball is doing alright. Lost a few games we should have won, but they'll get it together before the tournament. Tebowmania went crazy. He beat the Steelers in the playoffs at home. He lit them up (as much as one can with only 10 completions). But then he lost to NE in Foxborough. It's not easy to win there on the road. He just didn't do too well. But he had a season like that at UF and then came back the next year and was the best he ever was at Florida, so he can still do it.
I'm still reading "Fourth Thousand Years", I'm in Judges in the NT, 1 Nephi in the BOM, and about to read "A Broken Heart," which my dad suggested. I also want to start on Tebow's book. I've had it for a little while now and haven't read a bit of it. It's out in the garage, and it's cold out there.
Speaking of cold, it snowed today. And it's supposed to keep going for a couple more days. It looks so pretty. Much better than Idaho snow.

2012 - New Year's Update

It's a new year, so it's time to update the blog. Not too much to update, though. Over the last four months I've been working at Nintendo. My first project was released already, so I can tell you it was Mario Kart 7. It was a fun game to test, and has gotten pretty good reviews. I've had the last week-and-a-half off of work, and I'm totally ready for it to start back up again tomorrow. And then I'll be ready for it to stop by Friday.
I went to Institute all this Fall. I had gone before, but this was the first time I actually went every week. I have had a pretty rad teacher, Brother Bushman. He's pretty knowledgeable of the Old Testament, so it's been fun with him. His experience plus reading the 1000 Years series has helped me learn a lot.
We just started reading the Book of Mormon as a family tonight. Hopefully that lasts.
This Christmas was really nice. I got the best gift ever: a Florida Gators pillow pet. It's awesome. It was also nice to see most of the family again, like at Thanksgiving.
For New Years we went out to Sebastian's, out at Lakebay. He actually lives really close to Camp Colman, so we went out and lit off fireworks at the beach there. It was crazy being back and realizing my memory of the place is pretty accurate.
Now it's 2012. I don't have too many resolutions. To continue reading and to work harder. To find some sort of drive in my life. I don't know, something like that. We'll see how it goes.
