Yesterday Bryce showed me how to change spark plugs. It was epic. And saved me almost $400.

Camelback
Last weekend we celebrated my dad’s 50th Birthday by hiking camelback mountain, playing 5 games of bowling, eating tons of food, and enjoying the hot tub with a slight drizzle. It was great!
Kevin joined us for the hike, but he didn’t need the 18 rest breaks me and my dad used…

When the Gnagey’s Come to Visit…
Klein Gnagey, Ariel’s bro, is visiting for the week. We all remember what happened the last time the Gnagey’s came:
This visit’s incident was confined to the face, and only involved a sharp rock.
But in all honesty, it’s been a really fun time having Klein here.

Top 10 Highlights from this past year
1. Getting Married
2. Having flexible jobs where, despite Ariel working nights for the year, we enjoyed time together and even a handful of great vacations together.
3. “Through the Bible in a Summer” ended up taking me 5 months, but getting hit with a whirlwind of Bible all at once was one of the most enjoyable and eye opening studies I’ve done.
4. Working with Reed and Micah this past semester, and becoming better friends with them. They’re two super enjoyable guys and it’s been fun to get more into their world.
5. Where things are at the end of this semester with the ministry. God' has brought in a great freshman class who are saying things like, “I want to pray for my hall and family over break,” “I’d be interested in memorizing scripture with you,” “Let’s next semester do something together to reach out to my floor.” I’m especially excited about one student I’m friends with whose grown up in the church and I’ve had the opportunity to share the Gospel with but is carefully considering how real he considers his faith. It excites me to see students who don’t take their faith for granted or who want to be lukewarm, but rather who are interested in all or nothing.
6. For my birthday Ariel took me up to Sedona. Sitting on a balcony at starbucks looking at the red rocks in the morning with a slight rain was one of my favorite times.
7. I got bit by a rattlesnake. It sucked, but really, how many people can say that?
8. We’re having a baby! just kidding… seriously though, not true.
9. Not passing out while giving my first Nav Night talk.
10. Despite all my close friends moving away after college, I was able to spend significant time with all of them. From visiting Kurt and Heather in CO, to seeing Thart at the Glen and vacationing in Hawaii with him Meaghan and Kmomo, seeing Scraw at Nav functions, watching Tim Lin get married, and sitting next to Mike on a 6 hour plane ride.

I love bugs
Upon arriving at home I realized Ariel’s bug battery was totally dead. Turns out it’s harder than I thought to find a set of jumper cables on Christmas day…
Circle K – Open, no jumper cables
Safeway – Open, no cables
Auto Zone – Closed
Target – Closed
Walgreens – Open, might be out of stock, associate looks, found! But I’m already heading in the wrong direction so I continue along until…
Cheveron – Open, LAST pair of jumper cables!
Hoorah!
