Finally, an update!
Jan. 10th, 2007 09:11 amI'm alive folks. Doing well, and alive.
Here's a breif update of the past month or so.
Christmas was crazy. Kim and I had 5 places to be on Christmas day, and didn't get to spend much time at any one place. We even had to push Christmas with her mom to Christmas Eve after church just to fit everyone in. Next year we're doing it differently. Any suggestions? (We have to fit in Christmas with: Kim's Mom, Kim's Dad and Stepmom, My parents, Kim's Aunt, My mom's family, and my dad's family...though we're more than likely cutting out a couple families somehow for next year).
The day after Christmas Kim and I both had off. We THANKFULLY got to sleep in and recover a LITTLE bit (Kim more than I because of my loudmouth brother-in-law). We signed our lease at 3 that day. We worked it well because when we put in our application, they were running a deal for the first month's rent free, and when we signed the lease, we got in for this year's pricing (it's going up ~$20/mo next year, so we save that ~$20/mo for a year).
New Year's Eve was spent at Belhurst Castle in Geneva, NY for Kim's cousin's wedding. It wasn't a bad wedding, though I wasn't impressed with the DJ.
Kim and I have been dog-sitting since the 4th, and will be doing so until this Sunday, the 14th. it's been fun. It's nice being away from my parents for a while, and I think they like it too. The commute to work has been nice because we're less than 10 miles away!
Last Saturday we had a wedding reception to go to out in Syracuse for a family from the islands. That was a good time, though it felt like we were the blacksheep of the night (non-family). They had a REALLY good live band playing all night. The food was "eh", and the seating "system" left quite a bit to be desired.
Once I get back home, it's back to packing and throwing stuff out. 1.5 months left until the move-in. Tick tock tick tock...
