Just like I do every year, I accomplished so many things in 2011. Some of them were ward-related, some of them were personal. And some of them had nothing to do with me at all! Here are my favorite things about 2011.
10 - We've still got one more year until the world ends.
9 - Helped my son Kyle with his Pinewood Derby (winning isn't everything, Kyle, but having a good relationship with your father is).
8 - Invented a new kind of nog. Ham nog.
7 - Strengthened the youth.
6- Became a lot more humble than nearly everyone I know. (I was already very humble, so this is one whale of an achievement).
5 - Inspired so many people in the ward to choose the right. They started choosing right up the ying-yang.
4 - Gave a blanket to a poor person. That person is in the ward, but I'm not going to tell you who it is.
3 - Refrained from telling people who I gave a blanket to.
2 - Memorized a lot of scriptures and even made up some of my own. Like this one: Ye shall know them by their fruits. And also, their last name will be Stevenson.
1- Sorted out the truth that the Murble family had eaten a cat. (They hadn't).
