ONE FULL YEAR

It's been one full year since I put this site online. Can't say too much has come from it... hopefully that'll change. Maybe. Don't get your hopes too high.
Lots of new things going on but also a lot of the same old. Life goes on at a steady beat and things are starting to return to normal. I still have a dead truck in my garage. Amanda's car is acting up. Desiree is still enthralled with shadows. Work goes well, for both of us. My sister found a place and is almost a month away from getting married! Crazy! And my best friend got married! A big congrats to him and his blissful bride!
What else... we saw the movie UP. The Transformers. The Terminator. The Proposal. The Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Star Trek. (Not in that order...) Easily the most movies I've seen in a theater in a loooong time. Finally watched the Departed... Netflix has shipped it to us 2x. 2x we've let it sit... I finally watched it with Ken over the past weekend.
I think that's about all. Haven't done any of those things that I said I would get to. Funny how life changes plans. Funny how fast time flies...
WINDS OF CHANGE

A lot has happened over the course of 2 months. Much more than I typically care for. Some of it is good, the majority of it is bad.
The good:
We adopted a dog! Desiree is her name. She's a very energetic lab that tries my patience sometimes but is wonderful to have. Amanda is still iffy but I think she's warming up a little. Time will tell. I've put some pictures up on Picasa for all to see. Take a look.
The bad:
The lesser of the bad news first. My truck finally died. I was hoping to make it to 200k but it wasn't meant to be. The last 3 years of driving has been considerably less then driving down to UST. In the past 7-8 months I put less than 5k. It's hard to reach 200k that way, shocking! In case anyone is curious, here's a Xanga entry of when she hit 130k: http://suvorov.xanga.com/136605973/item/.
Expecting another 170k is a bit crazy and, apparently, I was quite wrong- "Daks never die!"
Now for the really sad news. Amanda's Grandma passed away on Sunday, May 3rd. It's been hard for everyone. You can read more about it on Amanda's Xanga. Thoughts and prayers are much appreciated.
ONE YEAR AT THE NEW HOME

It's hard to believe it's been a year since we moved in. This past year we managed to paint our bedroom... and that's it. Hopefully this year we'll be a little more productive. The tentative plans are:
- Paint the nook in the dining room (an easy one!)
- Add steps to the deck and put in a patio
- Add a water softener
- Put in a deep sink in the basement
- I'd like to put a work bench in the garage
- Probably build Amanda a boot bench :)
- Add a screen door to the front door
We'll see how far we get. Since it's spring, I should probably start pulling together some plans. It's amazing how fast time flies.
