12/12/12!!!

Hello Readers!

Today I just wanted to talk a little bit about who I am for those that don't know me as well! I was born in Bremerton, Washington in a naval hospital on Easter morning (March 31st, 1991). My dad (Also Doug Knuth) was in the Navy and my mother (Dale Knuth) was a bit of a stay at home mom due to illness.

We faced our share of interesting challenges in our little family and when I was six we moved to Oregon to take care of my mother's parents. We took care of them until 2007 when they passed away. We moved again, only about a half mile this time, and stayed in Salem.

I graduated from North Salem High School in the class of 2009 and in 2010 I accepted the call to serve an LDS mission in Portugal. I lived there for two years, immersing myself in the culture and working among the people.

I returned home in June of 2012 and I am going to attend Brigham Young University- Idaho in January of 2013 studying communications.

I am really excited to move forward with this new phase in my life and I know that I will never give up. I know that it will be hard, but I am determined to be happy and enjoy the things that I do! There isn't any reason to be sad or melancholy all the time, and we only have one life. Why would I waste it freaking out and worrying? When I look back I want to think about the good things. I want to see the good that we did, the fun that we had, and all of the amazing times we had.

I am committed to living my life, not just existing! I want everyone to know that they can succeed in life. I want people to realize that they have potential!

I hope that you all have an amazing day and remember that you can do anything!

-Doug
