It has been about a year now...

A lot has happened in a year. I will try to cover all of it but I may miss a couple key things here and there.

First off, talking about the last post I made one year ago. I am still living in the same place and I still have the same job. However, I am currently in the process of finding a new place, for various reasons. Sometime in the winter months, my apartment flooded with a good inch or so of water through the whole place. A pipe froze and broke just above my sink. I was out of my place for a good two weeks before everything got fixed, but it seems to still have that almost damp feel to it. Next reason is I want a garage. I bought a new car back in April so I want to be able to store it in there and not keep it outside. It is a 2007 Black Dodge Charger (for the car people: RT AWD 340 HP, 390 ft/lb torque... it goes). I am going to check out the apartment tomorrow after work. We will see how it goes. One nice thing is I will be near my good friend Amy so maybe I will see her more often than I do (we work different shifts at work so it is hard).

I have the same job as before, only it really picked up and I have been REALLY busy. I no longer have the window seat since the whole office got rearranged. I am also in a new group working for different customers, which is good and bad. Good cause it gives me more experience, bad because I have to relearn all the ins and outs of what they want. But I still like my job.

I also started at a new gym which is about a half mile away or so. I have been taking my bike. The gym is a bit bigger and has AC for the hot summer days, which is really nice. I just have a month pass now but maybe get a year. It costs about 100 bucks more than my old gym per year but we will see.

What else? Oh yes, the girl. I meet a girl in Houghton about 3.5 months ago. Her name is Teija. She is pretty amazing. So far, everything has been going really well. She stayed with me last week and I took a couple days off. We went to my cousin's wedding (which was really really nice aka EXPENSIVE). They had about 425 people there. I have been traveling most weekends up to Houghton to see her.

Other things of note: Brandon and I went to Las Vegas a couple months ago. It was a lot of fun and I recommend it to anyone even if you don't gamble (I am not a fan of gambling, I think I lost 20 bucks in slots). I had a blast out there with some of the friends we met in London during the summer.

What do I do in my spare time? Travel to Houghton, hang out with Teija, hang out with Tech friends (when she works, and when she is around sometimes), go golfing with Brandon and Randy, go to the gym during the week, Basketball on Wednesdays, and pretty much just hang out around my apt. I went and bought Madden 08 for the 360 yesterday so I think I may have just found a really really good time killer. I played a bit and it is really really fun. I started a Superstar with Brady Quinn (you can now start superstar with any of the rookies).

I can't think of anything else at the moment and I need to get back to work so I will post again soon.
