About this time last year I made this post. While I didn’t quite reach my goals, I am very proud of some of things I accomplished because I set some goals. I started the 53in52 blog with my friend Justin Carlson. We didn’t end up finding ourselves reviewing 53 books this year, so in the…

Day One: Repost
Looking through my “past blog posts” I found this and it made me laugh. Ok…maybe not the whole post, but the video did. And then it hit me again…I came home over a year ago and it feels so good! Today was Day One ok…it was “technically” Day 3 if you count this week’s days…
