2010 – glad to know ya

Some highlights from 2010:

Enjoyed 18 years of marriage to my bride.
Saw both Kenzi and Madi turn 11 and 13 (gasp, my first teenager!)
I got the biker bug after being asked to preach at a motorcycle rally in the summer. Consequently, it comes with some sweet leather wearin’
Lost 30 pounds since the summer. I also ran my first 5k marathon.
Was promoted at the hospital to a Manager position where I am able to utilize my skills more and am liking the growth it is providing in leadership and organization. Also saw a friend from work come to follow Christ.
Beat Rob at Chess a plethora of times (although, we played plethora x2 amount of games).
Went on a road trip to Denver (avoided a fallen ladder on the road and ate crocodile) to hang out with Chad and Vin and discuss church management and leadership (and lame jokes).
Traveled to Orlando for work and experienced my first 1st class ride on the way back (don’t worry, I paid for the upgrade).
Started a small group on Monday’s nights for church.
My game board collection is growing and invading our room and most free time is spent with fellow board gaming geeks.

Things I am hoping to do in 2011 (not in any particular order)

Read through the Bible in one year (haven’t done this for a few years!)
Start an MBA program focused on (non-profit management)
Get in a sword fight (preferably planned)
Make 5 video reviews for board games
Paint the outside of the house and fix up the cupboards in the kitchen
Carve or craft something out of wood beyond simple whittling.
Get down to 235 pounds
Find some gold that you could see without a magnifying glass
Run two marathons (at least 5k)
I am in the midst of several books (non-fiction) — I would like to finish several of them
… oh yeah … and I’ll be turning 40 this coming year!! Yikes!
