Most people that know me know that I love reading. So much in fact that on the morning of my wedding, I woke up extra early so that I could go to Barnes and Noble to get a book to read while on the honeymoon! My parents still make fun of me for that. Since then Lindsey and I have moved into our new condo in Pleasant Grove, and loving it here. My favorite room by far is our office that has red walls which are lined with black book cases, which are full! I decided that this year I wanted to keep a record of what I wanted to read, what I read, and set some goals in the process. In high school I used to read upwards of a 1000 pages per week. I don’t think I can top that, especially since my reading tastes have moved beyond Fantasy and Sci-Fi (mostly) into more business oriented books.

So here is my goal, to read 30 books by my first year anniversary with my wife. I already have a good chunk done, and will enjoy reading the rest too! Here they are.

Now the two of us are trying to not be the stereotypical newly wed couple, although I think that we are failing utterly in that regard!  We pretty much hang out with only ourselves, stay in our new condo admiring our very own home, tell each other endlessly that we love each other, and generally are fairly sickening to anyone that has never been in love and newly married.  But hey, we are only newly weds once, and it is a great time of life.  I sure am going to keep on rockin’ the newly wed phase as long as I can.

I just read a post on my buddies site (joshbuhler.com) and decided I have claimed to be a nerd far too long in life without any evidence to back it up. It came back a bit surpising… maybe I need to re-evaluate my social acceptance levels…
