Turning 30
Bridget and I both celebrated our second annual 29th birthday, which included a countdown, a scavenger hunt of our life, and a surprise party
  Exploring Nevada’s Outback
With Lisa, we decided to venture east on Highway 50 through Fernley, Fallon, Austin, Eureka, and Ely  to become a survivor of the Loneliest Highway.
  Run, Run, and then Run Some More
Bridget ran five half marathons; I fell in love with trail runs; we finished 31st in Reno-Tahoe Odyssey, and we conquered Bay-to-Breakers.
  Monterey
Bridget and I sneaked out to Monterey for our anniversary. The highlight was running through a state park trail and finding otters playing off in the cove. (Well… that and Mexican food that was phenomenal.)
  Walls and Tables
Bridget “inherited” a dining room table that she sanded and refinished. Now, if we only had a place to sit. I also finally built a retaining wall for our side yard. The never ending building continues…
  East Coast Travels
With my mom, we ventured to New England to learn about our American History. We explored Maine, Boston, and Cape Cod, which I’d love to return to again. We then flew into the Green Bay area to visit my Grammy in Iron Mountain, MI, a small mining town that boasts of a famous ski jump.
  iRON man
For Thanksgiving, the Weaver family and Nagisa traveled to Scottsdale to watch Ron compete in an ironman (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 run). With a busted ankle (broken in July) and pulled rib (three days prior), Ron finished just over 14 hours.
  PHR Certified
Lawyers pass the Bar examination; Accountants must pass the CPA. And in the HR field, people pass the PHR. An intimidating exam that many fail, Bridget studied long and hard, and despite her weakness of taking tests, she pulled through it. This past month, we found that she had passed her exam and now is certified as a PHR success.
  New Beginnings
When I returned from Arizona, One to One called me and told me they’d like to see other people. Long distance relationships never work out. Our Reno office started strong with 30 people; it had dwindled down to four, and now after my cut, two. It was a good experience; it wasn’t a messy break-up, and I’m glad we can stay friends. And I’m even more excited to build a new relationship with someone else. Cheers to 2011.
