So, I logged in, and began dusting off the surface around this place, and decided to let everyone know just what’s been going on that I’ve been neglecting this place for so long.
First of all, I’ve been spending lots of time with my girlfrie…err fiancee. That’s right, I got engaged back in mid-October. The real surprise is that we’re getting married soon. Like, in December! While we’re not doing the big traditional wedding thing (much to the chagrin of her family), we are going to be having a spiffy reception. If you want to come, or if you just want to buy us some pretty stuff, I’ve setup a small site with the basic info on it, so give it a visit and make sure to check out the registry page.
So, in keeping with the getting married theme, we had to find a house, and quickly, since her lease on her own place was up on the first of this month. Given that we got engaged only a couple weeks before that, we had to hurry. We both spent a lot of time making phone calls, talking with possible landlords, and the like. Ultimately, we found a place, and it’s perfect. It’s a small 1930s 2 bedroom, 1 bath, and it’s really pretty much just perfect for the two of us.
Then, of course, after we found a house in record time, I had to move her in. Her work schedule didn’t afford much time for her to do it, so I grabbed a buddy, and the two of us spent a Saturday moving what she’d packed over to the new place. The rest of that weekend was spent getting things settled in the house.
As it turned out, the fiance doesn’t so much like to stay at the house alone, so we got ourselves a welsh corgi, who we’ve named Thalia (Tall-ee-uh). She’s a little special, but she’s awesome. Pictures to come at some point in the future.
So, I’ve been busy just about every weekend for the last month and a half, but that still leaves the weekdays, you say. Well, it would, but since I’ve been gone every weekend, I’m having to spend more time during the week on homework. I’ve got to make sure I do well, because I’m graduating in December now, not in May. So, you know, if you want, you can get me a nice graduation present, too.
In any event, apart from homework, things have settled down a bit, and I think it’s time to just hit “Mark all as read” and jump back into blogs now, rather than catching up on the couple thousand posts that have amassed there. Sorry, but I’ll try to go through archives and catch what I missed later on, though.
Good heavens, child. You updated! And you got a fiancée, a house, a dog, and a diploma (almost). O_o You didn’t have time to take over a small country on the weekends or perhaps find the cure for the common cold? GEEEEZ. Anyway, glad to hear you’re alive and kickin’, even if you are quite the busy bee. Post more often, mmk? Even if it means you have to hold off on inventing that car that runs on roadkill ashes, I’d really appreciate reading updates more than four times a year. :)

Our puppy says hi.
So does your fiancee.
And, uh, the house.
(We’ll talk about the house talking when you come back this weekend.)

I’ve been notably absent from the blogging world too, but unfortunately nothing so exciting has happened to me. Can I take this blogging hiatus back? I think it’s defective.
No seriously… congratulations. That’s so cool.

Rachelskirts: The plan is to continue updating, but we’ll see how that goes. Also, I did take over a small country, but I thought it’d sound boastful to say so. What used to be the Barony of Caux is now Greater West Thursday’sChildia.
Kreestone: Well, *ruff*, and “hi!” and, uhm, *brick*. We certainly will talk about the house talking when I get home.
Seven: You know, life happens sometimes, and even if it doesn’t feel like there’s a “reason” for a hiatus, it might well be necessary. Don’t sweat it. Thanks for the congratulations. We appreciate them!

Go you! awesome! I’m sure this sudden shift in seasons will generate plenty of thoughts for you to share with us :) How did you two meet?

Congrats on getting a dog… oh and a fiancée too. Hehe, I’m only kidding. Seriously, congratulations, I’m real happy for you.

Sarcastica: Thanks! I’ll probably post some pictures tonight.
Joel Dueck: Well, if you’d read the site I put together you’d know how we met! In short, we met when I transferred in to public school about 8 years ago.
Ren: Thanks much!
