Merry Christmas Everyone!

I hope these holidays are your best yet! I guess I'll take the time to update you on what is going on in my life, as there are some big changes in the near future. Last week I graduated from Brigham Young University Idaho with a Bachelors degree in Studio Art. It feels so good to be DONE. I'll miss all my friends a ton, but its good to be moving on. And moving on I am...down to Salt Lake City. I've got an apt in Holladay, one roommate, and he's CLEAN! Its a really nice place. In Jan it will be go go go with the new lab down in Orem...Canle International as it's affectionately being named (we went with the most ambiguous name in order to dissuade burglars from breaking into the lab and stealing our thousands of dollars worth of equipment). Jonathan Canlas is the man behind the operation and Tavis Johnson and I will be managing the developing and scanning of photographers film. I'm super stoked to see how that gets going. Also, I bought a seasons pass at snowbird, I have two friends that are unemployed and also have passes, so we will be doing a lot of skiing and snowboarding. Hit me up if you want to go!

So some big changes in 2011! I'll have a new blog, new website, and a whole new way to view all that portfolio stuff that has been hidden in the recesses of my hard drives for the past year or so. I can't wait to get everything organized. That will be the first big project of 2011. Also, I plan on doing a bit of traveling. Right now Mexico in Feb is looking like a real possibility. Max Low is now the proud owner of a '96 Ford Explorer that is registered in Mexico for the next six months...so we plan on putting that to use. We're thinking Yucatan road trip? Also I will be heading out to Seattle in April to help out with Film Is Not Dead. It is always the raddest time hanging out with Jonathan Canlas and the FIND posse. I can't wait for that. Places I hope to visit this year?? Obviously San Francisco, New York, it's been far too long since I've been to either of those cities. I want to go back to Hawaii so bad that sometimes I physically hurt inside, so we'll see if that happens. I want to go back there with friends, or a friend. I've come to decide that traveling by yourself, living the gypsy lifestyle is all well and good, but unless you have people there to share the memories with, they start to fade, and they aren't worth much over the years.

My Mom does her share of worrying about my current bachelor status and reminds me repeatedly that there are plenty of nice marryable girls down in UT, so I'm sure I will keep busy finding a girl that I want to keep :) But really, I am excited to move to a new place and start living. I appreciate all of you. You all mean a lot to me more than you know. May you have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year :)
