First 2011 Update!

The new year feels like it has come and gone, and its only February!? It's been such a crazy couple of months for me, but everything is going well. For those of you who follow my blog I am going to work on updating it more frequently now.

As of 2 weeks ago we booked our plane tickets for Haiti. The airfare prices seemed to sky rocket after the new year...Uggh what a bummer that was : ( For those who don't know we have rescheduled our trip to Mid-March. (11th-20th). That is our spring break, but I am really looking forward to contributing to those in need! I'll make sure to provide some team information as we get closer.

Another exciting area of my life (outside school, work, church, girlfriend) is the raceteam. We have been cruising right along with the new car for 2011. I am incharge of designing the Brake System and everything is coming together. We will be competing in 3 competions this summer.

1. The SAE World competition in May. 120 schools from around the country. Ohio State, Texas, MIT, Michigan are examples of some bigger schools we compete against. 
2. We will also be competing overseas in Germany!! For 1 month!!!I'm so excited for that. This competition starts August 2nd. It is the first trip there in our school's history. Feels pretty awesome to be apart of this. http://www.formulastudent.de/
3. While we are in Germany  we plan to travel over to Austria for a week. Their competition is the week following the Germany Competition. Not too sure on how many teams will be competition. I am just excited to embark on this adventure with a awesome group of Guys and Girls.

2011 has been an awesome year thus far. Some amazing things and people have impacted my life the past 12 months and I'm very excited to see what the near and distant future hold!


God Bless,
