The Latest Glass

Yep

Man, I'm having trouble getting anything written down lately. I've got some good news to share though. My wife is no longer the most recent addition to the family. She's been beat out by the zygote on the left there. My youngest brother and his wife are expecting their first baby. As you can imagine it's a pretty happy time in the family. My Mom is fairly bursting. I'm sure my brother will be documenting the tale at his blog, Soldierant as it unfolds. I hope they enjoy the experience of the next nine months, as for me I can't wait to play with the little crib lizard.

Nothing To Say

But that's not going to stop me I guess.

Lisa and I have been back in Arkansas for about a month now. It's been good for the most part. Work is just as messed up as it was when I left. We're in an apartment instead of a hotel which is nice. We've got to do a little site-seeing and we laughed our asses off at The Wickerman, the most unintentionally funny movie I've seen in awhile.

It has been busy since we've been back and I haven't gotten around to documenting how the vacation and wedding went. All in all it was my best summer on record. I got to hang out with the family which is always a plus. Lisa's family flew in from Colorado. They enjoyed their first trip to the Buckeye state. They got to visit Amish country and see the world's largest basket in Dresdan. At the end of their vist we got to show them the American Motorcycle Association's Motorcycle Hall of Fame (that was mostly for Chris and myself). There was the winery outside of New Concord where we had a great gnoosh plate and wine, and I am not even a fan of wine.

As I write, more great memories come back, I loved seeing the old friends I haven't seen in a few years and seeing them mingle with my family. This is the first time my work and family worlds have collided. It was an odd experience but not at all unpleasant.

All in all it's been a great summer and I've loved having Lisa with me. Life just keeps getting better. We've kept busy so it's hard to post regularly but I'll try because I enjoy it.
