Once again it has been too long my friends. Hello again and welcome to my little corner of the internet. How have you been? We've missed you!
First things first - I would like to say congratulations to the New Orleans Saints! Superbowl 44 Champions! The Saints had me a bit scared going into the second quarter, but by the start of the second half (well after that amazingly executed onside kick), I was content that Brees and the rest of the Saints could put this one away. Anyone else glad to see pro teams take chances like the Saints did last night? Made me think of something Boise State might attempt. Fun fact though, last nights onside kick to start the second half was the first onside kick attempted before the 4th quarter ever in Superbowl history. Big call, big payoff. That is what the game of football is all about!
In an attempt to start doing more during the winter, I went (read: attempted) snowboarding up at Bogus Basin for the first time in years yesterday prior to the Superbowl. For never really knowing how to snowboard (I think I am truly a skier at heart) I think I did OK by the end of the day. I am feeling it today, but there were a few times yesterday that I really started to have fun. This was, of course, in between some of the hardest crashes I have had doing anything in awhile. It was totally worth it though, and I may even attempt to go up again next weekend. A few pictures from snowboarding yesterday are posted in my Flickr feed - check them out!
In the craziness that is 19 credits at Boise State and work three days a week at Drake Cooper, I really haven't been able to blog much lately. I have been learning so much that I want to share with you all, and I feel that I am finally moving towards a point where valuable content will be available readily through this blog. It's coming soon - I promise! I really do enjoy posts like this though, as it gives me a chance to share a bit of Boise life with the rest of the world.
In my last note of the day, I would like to acknowledge some major changes that are coming. My group: the people I live with, I party with, and do pretty much everything else with is coming into a great deal of change. Josh is deploying to Afghanistan, Anthony is moving home, and Mat is in a similar place I am. I have been living with my best friends for the past 4 years now (has it really been that long???). I just want to say thank you to everyone - It's not goodbye by any means. Josh will be back in a year, and I will still see Anthony and Mat. It is just an odd change to note, as this may be one of the most significant events in my life since I moved in with Josh and Mat almost half a decade ago.
I look forward to the turns that life will take, and I hope that the next 5 years will be as absolutely amazing and influential as the past 5 have been.
Cheers! And I will see you all soon.
Sean
