It Has Been Way Too Long (No Excuses)

Lots has happened since I last checked in with everyone, and I really have no excuse aside from not taking the time to post any updates.  At this point, I am going to attempt to blog twice a week at a minimum with my week running from Sunday to Saturday.  This day range should give me the opportunity to start strong and finish with a fury if I need to fire one out on Saturday to meet my quota for the week.  I could spend hours catching everyone up on the last six months, but I will just drop a few of the highlights and begin moving forward with today...

• Got engaged to Cristina (we will be planning a 2012 wedding if anyone is interested in the time frame)
• Hosted Thanksgiving at my house for the second year in a row with both families attending and    wonderful mashed potatoes from Whole Foods (they are the prepared foods potatoes and you should try then if you have the chance)     
• Made a trip for work to Washington, DC for some training and got stranded in Chicago due to the weather 
• Ate at Gibson's Steakhouse while stranded in Chicago (if you are in the area, I suggest you give the steak a try)
• Stopped working on the weekend (most of the time) 
• Made my first sale on eBay (I could become a real entrepreneur with this deal   

I could go on and on, but why relive the past even if it has highlights when we can move forward with all the opportunities we will soon be experiencing in the near future.

I have done a decent job of posting my photos that I have taken on Flickr over the past few months, albeit not near as many as I should have taken so flip through the newer stuff to get caught up and hopefully I have some good stuff coming for everyone to see.

Everyone get ready and feel free to hold me accountable to make sure I hold up my end of this deal.
