October and November 2011 In Review


GENERAL
- Officially back working for Provo Freedom Academy
- More Netflix rentals including Win Win, Red State, Californication Season 4, and Catching Hell.
- Watching the current season of my favorite shows
- Drinks, food, movies, and walks galore

OCTOBER
- Dates with Katie include going out to see movies 50/50 and Tucker and Dale vs. Evil,  We continued to watch Dexter season 4, we celebrated a year of knowing each other eating at Joe's Cafe in Orem, more dinner and movie dates, and numerous times she showed up at my work waiting for me to finish.
- Visiting my cousin David in the hospital several times after an accident involving a golf cart.
- Began watching The Big Bang Theory like crazy catching all the way up the current season. 
- Got the new album by Justice that I waited very long for and really like it.
- Dressed up as SNL Digital Short character Shy Ronnie for Halloween. And had an awesome Halloween weekend with Katie and her friends carving pumpkins and taking a stroll around Hogle Zoo.



NOVEMBER
- Started to step up my exercising by going to the Orem Fitness Center
- Using gift certificates to eat free-ish food at Pizza Pie Cafe and Jimmy Johns, both times with Katie.
- My Aunt Jean came to visit to give her love and support to my cousin David as he started his recovery. I also had some good times exposing her to music that I love and enjoy that she got a kick out of. I also have been getting in some fun visits with David which I have longed for.
- Dates with Katie included bowling, some retro gaming (Nintendo 64), going to see The Muppets, eating at the Cheesecake Factory, watching an advance screening of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, and celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday with her family.
