Welcome 2012

One of the goals I have for the year that didn't make the top 3, or maybe not even the top 5 is to blog more.

Here are my top resolutions and goals for the year-

1. Lose 25 lbs
2. Ride my motorcycle over 5000 miles this year
3. Visit 2 or more countries
4. Cook more
5. Ride my mountain bike at least 2x a month

What are your goals for 2012?

I'm not dead

It's been a while since I posted on here last. Being married keeps me busy!

Page and I are planning on launching a blog together, stay tuned for details.

May need to blog more

I just realized it's been over a month since I posted again. Shame on me.

 Since my last post the following has occurred:

• USCM - a big Mazda meet w/ a cruise of 50+ cars then bbq/tailgate and Great America.
• Bachelor Party - me and the boys went to San Clemente State Beach for a weekend. Good times were had by all. No one died and we didn't lose anything important. I think we burned all the digital camera memory cards so no evidence could be found :)
• My brother turned 20 and I couldn't be there. I wish I could be around more. I still feel bad for missing his high school graduation.
• My sister returned from FL and will be visiting for a few weeks then back to FL.
• Took amazing engagement pics - Our photographer Anne from One Fine Day Photography came to San Fran and Page and I had a great time shooting for 2 afternoons. I'm sure most of you have seen the pictures.
• 2 Mazda Install days - worked on the car at Kyle's house to get belts changed, fluids flushed, and HID lighting installed. It's always enjoyable to work on cars with friends.
• I started riding my motorcycle to work more frequently. It saves me $4 a day from Muni fares, is faster and more convenient. Last time I rode the Muni the doors flew open at full speed, how dangerous is that!?

I will be spending a few days in Riverside coming up for my cousin Kevin's wedding and then for Page's cousin's wedding the following weekend.

Spring time

Easter, Spring break and April have arrived and I realized its been 2 months since I blogged last... sorry about that!

Work has been extremely challenging, but it is still fun and exciting. I look forward to going into the office everyday and solving problems and making progress. Long hours and busy weeks fly by as we're preparing for lots of great things. We brought on new people, and lost some too. All part of building the right team.

With the start of the year came a new season of autocross. I decided at the end of last season to sit out this year to save money and save the car from getting too beat up. I miss it. The fun, the adrenaline, a place to test your driving talents. In the end it's all worth it, as the money I am saving is going towards the wedding and honeymoon. I'm getting my automotive fix with the Speed Channel, car magazines, and doing some maintenance on the car.

Wedding plans are coming along. We ordered the invitations from one of my clients (TinyPrints.com) and they came out great. Looking forward to getting our engagement photos done here in SF in 2 weeks. Figuring out details for rehearsal dinner, honeymoon and day after brunch.

I found a church here in the city that I really like. I saw poster for it in the subway going to work one day and it made me go check it out. It's similar to Sandals for all you 951'ers. In fact, I made a friend who went to UCR and Sandals so he knows all about it and was great to find him. It feels good to find a place to go were people know your name (sort of like Cheers) and you feel a part of something when you help.
