Zion National Park July 2009

I went to Zion National Park in southern Utah about three weeks ago. It was awesome! I had never been there before and will definitely return. We hiked Angel's Landing. I think it is only a five mile round-trip hike, but it is uphill the whole way!! The hardest part is when the sign says there is only .5 mile to go. The picture of a narrow ridge is part of the trail. One of the girls with us turned back - she got scared. All in all a great hike.
And then I took a dip in the Virgin River down at the bottom.

Snow Nasty!

Enjoy my second snowboarding movie! This is a much better compilation of some fun times boarding. It's called Snow Nasty

Night Boarding - February 7, 2009

Here is a video compilation of three videos that I made on Saturday night boarding at Brighton. It was a blast! The video is shaky. I took it with my camera while riding the lift, and then on the way down the mountain! So a little crazy cuz my hand froze. I will make better ones for the future. This is the first of many to come (hopefully!). Enjoy!!

In This Time of Economic Crisis . . .

I just feel like writing what many of us have heard, read, and seen: Government intervention is not the solution to the current economic crisis. Bailouts Schmailouts!! Businesses have to fail in order to succeed. Now compare what we have heard from our new president, Barack Obama, and what Bush did, to what Ronald Reagan said in his first inaugural speech 28 years ago. Remember that Reagan also face a major economic crisis and the Cold War.

If you have a couple of minutes it is WELL WORTH YOUR TIME to watch this(you can fast forward to the speech):

If you want the whole thing here are Sections 2 and 3.
Now, read this good article written the day before Obama's inaugural speech.
The cool thing is that Reagan lived up to what he said and helped pull us out of the crisis, that is, without using BIG government as the solution.

Alabama vs. LSU '08

"Hey Vols!!! Hey Vols!!" ROLL TIDE!!

In order to Kick off this Alabama football weekend I have posted this video to remind us of last year's game against Tennessee!! Enjoy!

My new doo!!

So
you all may have heard about my freaking awesome hair doo!!! Well, I couldn't bring myself to stick with it and meet new girls in provo the first couple of weeks of school. So I had Sarah cut off the best part of it which was my mowhawk and leave the steps on the side of my head. Over the first couple of weeks of school I have discovered that steps or racing stripes (as some would call them) are a true sign of maturity and intelligence, and surprisingly an amazing chic magnet. Because of my new sales job, I now have to look the part and can't look as legit as I did before (hahaha). So last night I drove up to Salt Lake to do a favor for Sarah since Greg is out of town this week and asked her to help out my doo and my image. This is what we came up with and frankly I feel more qualified and confident than I ever have in my life!!
