Newbie

So this is a first for me. I've never been good about keeping a journal, but I'm the computer all the time, so maybe I can make this work. 

I guess a good place to start is to tell a little bit about myself. I'm the youngest (23) of five kids. I've grown up in Salt Lake City my entire life, unless you count a few months in the summer working at a B.L.A.B. as living somewhere else. I went to Granite High School, and graduated in 2003. I live with 5 other roommates right now. I love it for the most part, but it's enevitable to not get along every now and then. But, like I said for the most part it's great. They are a good group to be around.

I'm currently working and going to SLCC studying in the field of Criminal Justice. I'm going to be taking a break to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That will, with a great deal of luck, happen in the next 4-6 months. 

I work at Security National Financial in the IT Department as a help desk technician. I like my job a lot, but the armed services is where I really want to end up. Now whether that's a Police Officer or a soldier in the Military, I have no clue! I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. 

Hobbies! Well this last year I took up running. My plan was to do a 5k for the first time in my life. I did that on July 4th, and it was one of the most rewarding things that I've done. Little did I know that that was a gateway to other things, like a 10k and 4 more 5ks. This year it's sprint triathalons! Among the running, I also enjoy Ultimate Frisbee, Disc Golf, shooting, camping, movies (especially movies), and any number of other things that gets one out of the house.

Well I guess I can end it for now, more to come later.
