Everyone needs to go see the movie about my dog. It opens today and is called "This Is It"

At my third suprise party in three days. Suprise!

Our Baby

As many of you know, Ryanna and I are going to have a baby. We just had the 20 week sonogram. Do you want to know if it is a boy or a girl? Watch the sonogram and find out!

Year in Review

I haven't posted much in the previous year, so I thought I would do a wrapup to try and catch up a bit.

As many of you know, I got married to Ryanna Urban on May 26th. We had a wonderful honeymoon in Victoria, BC Canada and arrived back in Dallas to move into our apartment and begin our CARES program there. The last 7 months have been wonderful being married to such an amazing woman. Each day gets better and better.

In July we went up to Colorado to go to a friend's wedding. The groom was a roommate of mine when I was in Indonesia and the bride is the sister of Stephen, who I went on the long trip through Asia with.

Next I went to a training session at Sage software in Scottsdale, AZ for a week and Ryanna was able to join me for the last half of that trip.

In December we went up to Portland and Seattle for Stephen's wedding (yes, the same Stephen!) and to meet more of Ryanna's family since they are in that area. We had a great time.

The business is going well. We've got lots of consulting jobs going on right now that are keeping food on the table and we are working on putting out some products soon that I will fill you in on soon.

Our power went out at 11:55PM on December 31st so we had a new year celebration by candle light. We could see lots of different firework displays from our apartment which was good because it was really cold outside.

Now I'm enjoying following the presidential elections (finally I'm enjoying it! They started WAY too early). I have no idea who I am going to vote for yet but I'm enjoying the intrigue.
I'll be posting more now so stay tuned for more.

Took a bit longer than expected

So I planned on moving my blog a long time ago and did. But the new server wasn't great and I never got the posting working again. My life has gotten a little busy since then so I haven't bothered to fix it or post anything recently.

We've got a new server at work so I've moved my website over to the new server and set it up correctly this time. Hopefully I can start posting again.

Site Moved

I've moved my site to a new host. A huge thanks to the ICI guys for hosting my site for the last few years. I plan on updating it a bit to remove and add links and stuff that is no longer valid.

If you can read this then I have succeeded.

Sailing Away

I finally gave away my sailboat today. I've had it since around my sophomore year of high school which would be well over ten years ago now. I decided that it wasn't worth keeping around any more since I probably wouldn't be using it all that much for a long time. It was also in pretty rough shape. I posted it on Craigslist and within about 15 minutes I got 3 responses and then pulled the notice. The first guy decided not to get it and the second guy came and picked it up. He is in a family that likes to sail catamarans and was very happy to get it. I hope it works out for him. Either way, it is no longer my responsibility. Oh, my dad is also very happy that the space beside the house is now free. What does he plan on doing with it now? Why putting a new fishing boat there.
