New Years Eve...
Well its new years eve. I can't believe Christmas is over and the holidays are almost over here in the US. Time flew but it was good. I had a good Christmas and holidays. I went skiing and saw a few movies. I even played some tennis outside when the temperature was 0c. So all in all good.
Today I will go to church and tonight I will just spend the night watching tv and maybe a dvd or two. I just went an picked a couple up. Really nothing special. Tomorrow is the last day of my holiday. So I don't really want to do anything. Tomorrow is the college football national championship. So I will watch that and just relax and try to prepare myself to return to work... YUCK!!
We haven't had a good snow storm in over a week now. Maybe this winter is going to be a little mild. The mountains are getting lots of snow but not the valley. I guess thats good. I can still play tennis outside.
I have to start getting ready to move to Japan also. I have many things to do for my house here. I am putting in some security lights this week. Then I need to figure out what things I need to pack and start shipping my stuff.
It should be a crazy January and an even crazier 2007.

Back from Japan..
Well I got back from Japan last night. I was dead tired. I was also supposed to go on ski patrol last night when I got back but I was too dead. So I didn't go... But I think everyone understood. I would not be any good working on the ski patrol if I was too tired to help anyone.
Today I woke up and went shopping all morning. I am finally finished with my Christmas shopping!! It really is a good feeling. But I am sure I forgot something and will end up going to the store tomorrow to pick up some last mintue gifts.... Christmas is just 3 days away. So maybe now I can just relax.
This afternoon I started to clean my house and thow away old clothes and things that I haven't touched in a while. This is also a good feeling to get rid of stuff I haven't used in a long time. My house looks more simple now and less clutter. I hate clutter!!
Well... I guess I will watch a move and drink a coke and relax the rest of the night.... I still have jet lag.

Dead Tired!!
Well its Tuesday night. I am in my hotel room at the Marriott Hotel at Nagoya Station. I am dead tired. I have spent the last two days looking for a place to live and trying to arrange many things for me to move here next month. I have been all over this city the last couple days but finally found a place to live. I also found a tennis club which is good...hehe. I also had to go to my office today and have a meeting early tomorrow morning. So it has become a busy trip. I am ready to go home to Utah.
One thing I have noticed about Nagoya is that there seems to be a lot of police everywhere. In the other cities I have lived or visited in Japan I can't remember seeing so many police all over. This city is full of police. I guess that is a good thing. Maybe its just me but it really feels like there are cops everywhere. The weather has been really nice. Cold but sunny and nice. Tomorrow is my last day here. Its kind of a free day. I do not have any plans. So I will just wander around the city looking for places to shop and eat. Basically just go window shopping and sight seeing. Then Thursday I am finally going back home. Its been a good trip but I am always happy to go home. Home is where my heart is.

Hello Nagoya,,,,
Well its almost 6:00am. I have been up since about 4:00. I got here to Nagoya last night at around 10:30pm and couldn't sleep. The first night is always the worst.
So I am in Nagoya this week looking for a place to live. My company has transferred me. I will move here around the middle of next month. Am I happy about this???? Not really. I am happy to be in Japan but I know the working conditions and customs are very much different than the United States. I understand what I need to do here and so I understand it will be a little difficult. But I am happy to live here and learn more during the next few years. Also... eat good food!!!!! hehe.
So today I will go house hunting. If I can find a place to live today I will go to my office tomorrow and tell everyone hello (just for a minute). Then I will go check out a tennis club and start to prepare for all the things I need to live here.... (need a tv of coarse...hehe)
I will be here until Thursday and then return to Utah to hopefully relax and enjoy the Christmas holidays there. Then after New Years its back on a plane to Nagoya....

Let's Ski!!
Well the ski season has started for me. I have been a few times now and will leave in a few mintues to go do some night skiing. Actually I am on the ski patrol so I will be doing a lot of skiing this year. My muscles are sore this weekend from skiing. I have mostly snowboarded the last few years. But this year I felt it was time to get back on the skiis. Its a good feeling.
Utah is mostly famous for winter sports and skiing. I live about 40 minutes away from 6 resorts. So this is a very good and convient place to be if you like to ski or snowboard. I would recommend anyone to come here and try out the various resorts. This is the time when Utah is full of tourists coming to ski and enjoy the winter atsmophere.
Well.... I guess I will go get ready and hit the slopes!!! Being on the ski patrol is more work than play but still fun to be out on the hills.
Later!
