1. Job – I really do love my job, it is great. I do a lot of exciting and different things. Things I never thought I would have the opportunity to do. After a series of bad jobs, it is nice to do something that I truly enjoy, where I am appreciated, and I make a difference.

2. Jackson Hole – This is one of my favorite vacation spots in the world. I love the natural beauty and that Yellowstone is so close by. It is nice to be in an area where animals are so prevalent and free to roam.

3. Jon – One of my favorite roommates while at BYU. If there is anyone in this world that I strive to be like it is Jon because he is an all around good guy. Friendly, nice, helpful, smart, and many other good qualities. He has had a rough year with the death of his daughter but if there is anyone who could handle it is Jon.

4. July – I love July for several reasons, 1st the 4th of July, I love America and the flag and nothing celebrates this more than our independence day. I am also very patriotic. 2nd I love fireworks, watching them is one of my favorite activities. If somehow we could add lights to the 4th of July, such as Christmas lights I would be in heaven. 3rd It is my mom’s birthday. I love my mom, she is a great woman and I wish I could be the best son ever for her. I owe my mom so much for all she has done for me. She would fly out to DC just to help me out if I needed it.

5. J/k or Just kidding – What a great word, it can erase anything bad that you say. Well not really but it is fun to think so. I love what Ellen says about this. If you were really just kidding or just joking, both of us should be laughing. I love that line, it is so true, we use it lot to pretend to erase what bad things we say.

6. Jenna and all of my nieces and nephews. Oh, I love those kids. Tanner, Jenna, Chase, Brady Samuel, Paige, and Tyler. They are one of the only reasons I ever want to go back to Utah (sorry family but you got relegated to the bottom level when you had your own children). They are so cute, fun, happy, innocent, and too many other things to count. It just makes me so happy to be around them.

7. Jönköping, Sweden – This is one of the first cities I visited when I arrived in Sweden. Sweden is the home of my ancestors and one of the best places in the world. It is also the headquarters of Husqvarna the Swedish equivalent to GE they make lots of stuff including front loading washing machines. What a great invention, they clean better than top loaders and are more energy efficient. Using those washers in Sweden was my first experience in being “green.”

8. Jam – Much like Joey on Friends I love jam. It is a wonder condiment, and most importantly I was able to use it in Sweden.

9. James Bond – The greatest movie franchise ever. Roger Moore and Sean Connery are the best bonds out there. Although whats his name is not far off. You got to love the movies, sex, violence, international intrigue and bad villains.

10. Jeux Olympiques – or in English The Olympic Games. I know this is the word in French but I had to find a way to incorporate my favorite things in the entire world – The Olympics. Every 2 years the winter or summer games occur. What a spectacle that is beyond measure. The one in Beijing was wonderful. I was so sad that I could not attend the Winter Games in Salt Lake City.
