- Continue my 30 Day Challenge(s), one of which must be to go vegetarian for a month

The most important and exciting happened on April 4 when Sara and I got married in a small family ceremony at Moonshine Hill in Leipers Fork. I will forever be grateful she said yes. We had an amazing honeymoon being pampered at the Iberostar Grand Hotel Parasio and taking in the sights and amazing food of South Beach Miami.

Together as husband and wife we took a road trips to Memphis to see the Foo Fighters & Motorhead, to Louisville to see Jimmy Eat World for Sara's birthday, and to Atlanta to see the Foo Fighters again. We also saw the U2360 tour in Nashville, Sade, and Death Cabe For Cutie. We saw classic films like Rear Window, Jaws, and A Christmas Story at the re-opened Franklin Theatre. We also went to Disney World for a few days and to PA for a Penn State game and celebration of our wedding with my PA family and friends. We ended the year with trips to Maui for a week where we chilled on the beach, snorkeled,took in some amazing sunsets and I threw it down at Maui Brewing Company. And then to PA to see my family for Christmas.

The Moist family grew with the birth of Aslan Jude.

I read 2 books…completely on my iPhone. RED: My Uncensored Life in Rock by Sammy Hagar and Onward: How Starbucks Fought for Its Life without Losing Its Soul.

I continued my 30 Day Challenge idea this year but did 2 (at the same time) during June. I tackled sit-ups and pictures. I did sit-ups every day starting with 3 reps of 10 and increasing it by 1 rep in each set every day. I ended the month doing a total of 114 on the last day. I also jumped on the Instagram train and took a picture every day (not of the sit-ups). I've continued posting pictures on Instagram...but the sit-ups stopped.

Killer times at the Franklin Main Street Brew Fest with Eddy, JR and Bill…and the Flying Saucer Beer Fest with JR.

My 15 year high school reunion from Harrisburg Christian School.

I saw U2 on the 360 tour for the 3rd time, the 2nd time this year, when I took my brother to see them in Pittsburgh for his 30th birthday.

I met the only child of Johnny and June Carter Cash…John Carter...got to ask him so questions and have him autograph his new book House of Cash.

I got a new tattoo.

And lastly, a song that I worked on as A&R for Gotee Records, "Hold Me" by Jamie Grace, is nominated for a Grammy.

...my wife Sara and for the new adventure we have started together.

...continuing to have a job that I love.

...a family that grew with the birth of Aslan Jude.

...that I will be going back to the island...of Maui...in less than a week.

The first: Treasured Petz. I submitted this to Your Logo Makes Me Barf in October. They were kind enough to post it.

That Z really gives it that personal touch. The gangsta touch.

The second. Pawty Time.

Is that dog dancing or does it need to go to the bathroom?

Obviously taking 1 picture every day and posting it on Instagram was easy and fun. Though I probably spent too much time picking a freakin' filter. I may even continue posting a pic every day the rest of the year.

The sit-ups every day was obviously harder. I did really well for the first 18 days. But then I started doing them every other day. Though I increased the reps by two instead of one to make up for the skipped day.  I finished on the 29th with 3 reps of 38.

I never thought I'd do 114 sit-ups so I feel I accomplished my challenge even though I didn't finish the exact way I started.

Any ideas for August?

The first. Sit-ups. I started the day with 3 reps of 10. I will attempt that every day this month but also increase each rep by 1 every day. So 30 today, 33 tomorrow, and so on. By the end of the month, if my math is correct, I will be doing a total of 120 on the last day.

The second. Instagram. This is a lot easier. Nothing new either. But I just signed up and I'll post a pic on there every day this month. So follow me.
