Time Flies When You're on the Run

Has it really been more than a month since I updated you all with some information?

Gosh.

Where does the time go? Well let's get this party started right:

Speaking of parties, had me a 25th Birthday this last August 31st. You people are awesome with the gifts and the cards. I'd have to say it's been one of my better birthdays. Carl got me this awesome watch, Mom finally repented in the form of an RC car; Erin's Dad was generous to us; Not sure if it was birthday-oriented or not, but a large gift was generously bestowed upon us that will be most helpful in the future. We went to Kiku Steakhouse in Topeka for dinner. The connecting picture should speak volumes about the event. There was a whole 6 people in the room I was in when they took the picture, and that includes Erin, Me, The dude holding the giant folding decoration behind me, and two employees who were eating dinner at another table. They sang some cheesy Happy Birthday, complete with banging gong.

I ate it up.

Mary came down a week before and suprised me. She was down helping Dad with his taxes and wanted to be here for my birthday, as she missed last years'. It was a good visit. I was glad to have her here.

You're probably looking for a baby shower thank you by now. There WILL be one, we just need to finish the video. I'm including a teaser here tomorrow-ish (AKA, probably this weekend) so you can see I truly DO have footage, I just have to finish the final product. For those that know me, this can sometimes be tedious for me, so bear with.

Erin's about to pop. Looking forward to finally meeting the mysterious and vaporous Ava Claire. Everyone keeps talking about her, but I'm not sure she really exists. Somewhere in the next two-three weeks I get to meet this Ava person. I hope she's as cool as everyone makes her out to be.

Went to for Martha's Vineyard for Julie's (Carl's sister) wedding. Zoom out on that link to get a better idea as to where I was at. I know that's not exactly grammaticallyt correct, but I'm in a hurry to get this updated and get it ou to ya'lls. Amazing, amazing place. I'll let the pictures and video I'll put up in the coming days do the talking. I'm pretty sure I fell in love with the place, but I didn't realize it until she was gone. I would like to find my way back. When I was there, it was as if in a dream. I woke up and only have residual memories of something wonderful. I was also exposed to kayaking, and I'll never be the same for it. I've found my sport. I've not looked into the purchase of one, but I can only imagine the cost to be exorbidant. I'd like to find a means to getting on a body of water and really giving it my all.

There will be updates here in the very near future. I need to get some laundry done, and some stuff eBay'ed, but then I'll be back to import, organize, and post some pictures from all the excitement.

Love you all. Look forward to seeing some or all of you in the coming weeks.
