So I Survived

Wow, it's been awhile. Sorry it took so long, I've been a little busy with the craziness that is finals.

License, Registration, and Hanging some Fans

So in the last couple days we've gotten our new driver's licenses, and spent a bucket of money on some ceiling fans. Throughout this I've noticed some things that are done a little better here, become freakishly annoyed with my credit card company, and learned that the people who create the instruction manuals for installing ceiling fans are either completely incompetent, or diabolically evil. The jury is still out on that one.

5 Years

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? It's that dreaded interview question that I always wanted to answer with "ever see 'Leaving Las Vegas', I'm thinking of going the Cage route". (For those who haven't seen it, just watch the damn movie, probably the best 'ol Nicholas Coppola has ever done). Well 5 years ago today I took the big plunge and married the most wonderful person I have ever known. This milestone kind of got me thinking, what would the me today say to the me of 5 years ago.

Back

So it's been almost 18 months since I last posted. This won't happen again since I'm going to use this as a forum to communicate back to my friends and family how our most recent adventures are going. I'm not sure what the future direction of this blog will be but I hope those who read it will find it at least moderately entertaining, occasionally insightful, and maybe a little educational. For this first new post I think I'll just look at some of the major events the last 18 months have had. It's been a stressful one.
