Any other notable changes/events for 2014:  Living without constant nerve pain in my back. Turning forty. Going to the Outer Banks with my parents, Angie and Forrest. 

Follow-up from last year's hopes:
To fully recover from back surgery so I can start dunking again.
Fully recovered, but I've retired from basketball.

That I can join a competitive old man's basketball league.
I've retired from basketball, but signed up for a competitive tennis league in 2015.

That I can start writing another new book. (I'm kicking one around right now called The Nerd Vortex of Hunter Junior High that Saved the Universe)
I haven't written anything this year, but right now I'm kicking around one called How Mormons Won the Apocalypse

That the Honda dies and I can finally buy a midlife crisis sports car.
We sold the Honda and I bought my midlife crisis car--a 2010 Honda Element. I bought it for the awesome headroom. It is the only vehicle that I can sit up straight with good posture, which is great for my back. I had a very practical midlife crisis.

Hopes for 2015:
Win my fantasy basketball league.
Watch Andrea graduate from BYU.
Enjoy having one child in high school, one in middle school, and one in elementary school.
Have good health.
Have the Panthers win the super bowl.
Find out that I really enjoy competitive tennis leagues.
