36. Beat Chris or Alan 3 times in a row in racquetball

Now I am not sure exactly how Chris felt as I won my third game in a row but I imagine it felt something like the red player in the graphic above trying to defend shots from all different angles. Truth be told, I have played Chris a lot and outside of the last couple games, it has been really even but I will still take my opportunity to gloat a little based on my current streak. It is currently at 4... I will keep you posted. Alan... YOU ARE NEXT!!!!!

8. Go snowboarding with friends in Mammoth, Happy Bday Katie D. & Fun with dogs

We had our first trip to Mammoth this month which we got to celebrate Katie D's birthday and it gave us some firsts. We were really happy to spend time with Katie for her birthday! We got to hang out with her at their cabin and have a fun a delicious dinner at shogun. It was my first time snowboarding with Joo which was a lot of fun. The dogs also LOVED the snow. Rusty had been in the snow before but it was Kona's first time and he could not get enough. Speaking of not being able to get enough. Schat's bakery in Bishop has the BEST chili cheese bread. I miss it already. We didnt have our camera's with us so our phones had to suffice. Enjoy!!!

37. Cook Joo a nice dinner

The combination of celebrating Valentine's Day and trying to save money gave me the perfect opportunity to cross #37 cook Joo a nice dinner off my list. For anyone who Joo has cooked dinner for, it is a tall task to try and match her culinary skills. For help, I reached out to the Food Network (Giada De Laurentis to be exact) to find recipes that were 1. simple enough for a culinary ruh-tard and 2. tasted good. What I found was flaming filet mignon with chive butter with baked mashed potatoes with parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and asparagus and smoked salmon bundles. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Unfortunately, Joo is now expecting me to cook more... I did NOT think this through
