Dinner with Granny

So, Laura and I went to her Granny's tonight for dinner. It was quite good. She made us some pot roast with carrots and potatoes, with cabbage and beets (neither of which I ate) on the side.

Laura's having her granny make her wedding dress, and so she's started making one as sort of a "test" now. Laura tried it on tonight, and she was absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see her in the real thing.

I figured in the next few posts, I'd try to put in quite a bit of info just so that those of you who may not have heard from me recently can catch up and find out a little about me through posts.

I said last night that Laura and I were living in an apartment now. We're right outside of short pump. For those of you familiar with the area, we're right past the short pump mall heading west on 250. It's a really nice area, in my opinion. I guess since I was originally from a small town, but I've been raised pretty much here since I was about 6, I've grown really accustomed to having everything really near us.

We are about a 5 minute drive from just about anything we want to get to. If we head out of the parking lot and take a left, we've got gas, movies, stores, the mall, ukrop's (or 3), there are 3 starbucks within 5 minutes of the apartment, my mom's house is right near here too... basically everything. On the other hand, if we take a left, we head out into the sticks. There's fields, trees, forests, and lots of open roads to take a spin on. I'm still driving the ac' (integra), and I still love it.

Anyway, I used to always say that I couldn't really picture myself living here in short pump for the rest of my life, but I think that I probably will be. And I really do enjoy it. We're going to be looking for a house sometime coming up, probably starting this year sometime. We have to be out of the apartment by August of 07 as we have it worked out right now which will give us a few months after the wedding to get everything in order, find a house, and get all the payment stuff situated. The big thing is saving up for it. Ugh, talk about expensive. I think the average price of homes around here is around $400,000, the cheapest thing that we'd consider living in is around 200k. It's insane.

So, that's about it for now. More tomorrow! Or later tonight! Or whenever I get around to it. How's everyone else doing?

Got Color?

May as well make some changes to the color scheme since I have posted about nothing in the past 2 years. Hows the blue looking?

So, I'm back! (hopefully)

I haven't posted on this bad boy in years! Literally!

I was sitting at work today, and I came accross this old link on my site. I started looking through some of the old entries, and thought it was VERY interesting to be able to go back and read what I was thinking, how I was feeling, what was going on at my life at different points. It's really pretty neat. I hope livejournal doesn't ever die. haha.

So anyway, I just figured I'd start throwing some more entries up here. I can't get into too much tonight, because I have to get off here in a few minutes. House Hunters comes on in about 10 minutes, and then I need to get to bed so I can get up and head to work early in the morning.

Just for people who may not have read my entries in a while, a quick update.

I'm still working for Computer Resource Company. I've been there for around 3 years now, and I'm really enjoying it most of the time. It does get kind of stressful sometiems, but I think any job that you get into can be that way. There's enough responsibility to keep me occupied, but not enough to be annoying.

I'm still with Laura, we've been living in an apartment here in Short Pump since August of 04. It's very nice. We're engaged, and are planning on getting married in April of 07 (about a year away!)

I guess most of you already know that, but I'll leave it at that for now. Are any of the old LJ people still around? How's everyone doing?!

So.. over 2 years later

I just thought I'd throw a post up to see if anyone still reads these things!

I can't believe that my account is still active, this is insane. I'm sitting at work connecting over some Proxy server, so I don't even know for sure whether or not this thing is going to work. It'd be crazy if it did though. How hott would that be. :D Let's find out.

so here i sit. homework tomorrow. don't wanna do it. downloading like 3.7 gigs of software for my programming class. gay download program. oh well, at least it's free software. legally... for a change.

niiiice

ukrop's and saturdays

so tomorrow will be my first saturday off in like a year. no more ukrop's. i don't know what to do with myself. it's going to be awesome.

LONG TIME

Once again, it's been forever since i've posted. Just thought i'd go ahead and do something. SO i got a new job doing computer programming at a place called the computer resource company. http://www.crc.cc

It's really cool, i like it a lot. fun job, lots of learning. i swear not a day goes by that i dont' learn something new there. it's mad cool.

i'm still with laura, everything's going good with that... school started back up, spent frickin 400 dollars on books again, for only 4 classes. It'd ridiculous how much the expect us poor college students to have to be able to buy that many damned books.
