Best Football Game Ever, New Years Eve, and Washboard Abs

Did you see the Oklahoma/Boise State Fiesta Bowl? Unbelievable. It was the best college football game I’ve ever seen. My family and I were watching, yelling, screaming. I wish I had TiVo. I would watch that whole game again. Do they sell them on DVD or iTunes? That would be sweet.

I spent NYE at my brother Matt’s house. He had a huge bash for all his friends and his friends’ friends. What a packed house! It was a excellent party. There were lots of great people, rocking music, delicious food & drinks, a big outdoors hot tub, funny hats & noisemakers, and of course ping pong. What more could you ask for in a New Years celebration? I think everyone enjoyed themselves, except maybe my friend Alex. He fell asleep first and his face was sabotaged with sharpie markers. I plead not guilty to this crime, though I am friends with the guilty parties. We played some cards and it must’ve been my night, because I won it all in poker, which has never happened before. I was getting all the right cards. The thing about having a great hand everytime is you can “bluff” and then just rake it in when everyone falls for it. Thanks again Matt and Nat for hosting us all. I’m already looking forward to next year!

I hope you all are enjoying the new year. Have you made your resolutions?

I for one am ambitious this year (I never make any, so now is as good a time to start as any, right?) and have decided to run my first marathon this year. The Cape Cod is about 10 months away, so I have started to get back in shape. It’s been far too long. In the coming months, maybe I’ll post some pics of my washboard abs. They’ve been hiding for a while and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind seeing you all again.

In a related story, my youth pastor cousin Aaron is doing is own version of The Biggest Loser to help raise money for his youth group. He’s wanting sponsors to donate per pound or “lump” sum. pun intended. : ) I’m sure he’ll be posting updates on either his blog or the youth group blog.

Another resolution of mine: to care for people more and care less about what they think of me. I think that will prove to be much harder than the marathon, but probably even healthier for me.
