The best year of my life...and it's not even over yet!

Moved in with my friend Owen and lived with him for six months. Had a great time with him and Jess.

Went snowboarding for the first time. I ended up bruised, dehydrated, exhausted, and frustrated, but the conversation I had with a beautiful woman in the ski lodge made it worth it.

Watched an amazing Super Bowl game!

Came oh so close to getting into the Navy.

Went bodyboarding many times-there's nothing like doing that by yourself at sunset on a peaceful beach with good waves. It was almost heavenly.

Went to Atlantic City with five friends...and we stayed in a 2-bed hotel room! Went bodyboarding amongst giant waves.

Flew on a plane for the first time to Minnesota with Matt to visit Jayce and Laura. Had a great time and Minnesota is an awesome place, believe me.

Moved back in with my parents to save money. That night went to see The Dark Knight in a drive-in theater with Kainos (our church ministry).

Connected with all of the great people at Kainos, including Jon, Steve and Chelsea, Mark, Travis, Aaron, Dominic, Taffy, Ryan and Hailey, Alexis, Amanda, Andy, Aenas, Big Dave, Chad, Tara, Joyce, Puller, Mike, and forgive me if I am forgetting anyone else.

That day that Kainos went to Ocean City and Mark danced for us at Steve and Chelsea's. That was a fun day.

Hiked nine miles at Gettysburg Battlefield.

Hiked up a mountain at the Delaware Water Gap in Jersey. The view from up there was spectacular. Hiked ten miles, part of it on the Appalachian Trail.

Went on a three-day camping trip in Virginia with Kainos. We swam in the bay, played sports, rode bikes, had bonfires, and ate good food.

Went to New York City for three days with Justin and Adam. Probably the best weekend of my life.

Connected with God every day (since mid-September) through prayer and Bible Study.
