 | Lose yourself, lose yourself. |
Updates have been few and far between around here! I can’t remember the last time I did a personal update, but i don’t think it’s been this year! I was trying to make an update at least once a month before. Let me see what I can recap for you…
The wedding plans go well. We set up TallHalls.com for the wedding blog and information leading up to the event on September 5th, 2009. I guess I need to get around to posting there as well…
I sold the truck last week. Moved Kallie’s car onto my insurance and we’re officially a single car couple. Kallie will be driving to work once she switches jobs, but I walk, and I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to manage fairly easily with just 1 car. I barely drove the truck anyway.
We’re heading to Sacramento for Easter for a week. Should be fun to spend time with everyone out there again! I think they’re planning Kallie a bridal shower, so everyone should be in. With that in mind, there are so many events planned in the next few months! A friend’s wedding this saturday, Easter in California, Greek Easter with the Galis family the following weekend, talks of going camping sometime, another bachelor party in may, then the wedding the last weekend, an Avett Brothers concert or two, maybe a trip to DC or two, and i’m sure work is going to take away some weekend time as well.
Work goes well. Finally got the bump in salary I was waiting for since last year. That will help out with wedding funds for sure. Especially since Deirdre’s the only one living with me in the house now. Plans are to start moving my desk and other items into the room across the hall from me and turn it into an office/guest bedroom. I’ve actually been A LOT of time in my room trying to get crap cleaned out and make room for Kallie. I want to get started on that as soon as possible because it will make it a lot less stressful when she’s ready to move in. Right now, I’m able to go at my own pace, little by little.
I’ve also purchased P90x. to get my butt in shape for the wedding/beach season. I don’t want to start until we get back from California, but I’ve done a few sessions of it just to get the feel for it, and it’s perfect for me. It’s very intense and very scalable to fit what shape you’re in. I lack the motivation to come up with my own routine, and certainly lack the dedication to stick to a program that I created. It’s so easy to just pop in a dvd, do whatever he does for an hour, and then be done. I know a bunch of people that have gone through the program and they love it. The biggest problem for me will be the nutritional side and eating. I don’t eat. It comes with a nice guide there, and Kallie says she’ll help take responsibility for that. I’ll be sure to take the pictures, but I’m not sharing them until I see results. I’d really love to be able to dunk again this year, finish a 5k under 20 minutes, and do the urbanathlon again, but under 90 minutes.
I’ve been pretty quiet on the music front. I have a few tracks done, that i just need to polish and post to myspace, but it’s hard to find the time to dedicate. I’ve been trying to set up a time to go play open mics with Ben Beitzel, so stay tuned for some live dates.
The LEGO class wrapped up, and it was a total blast. They said the kids loved it too, and they want me to come back next year. I plan on doing that, but I’d also like to take a stab at making art using bricks as a medium. That whole idea is laced with legal problems, as I’ve heard from Nathan Sawaya, but I think I want to start of donating pieces for auction and seeing what kind of feedback I get. We’ll see how that goes.
Other than that, I feel great, staying positive, staying motivated, staying productive, growing in fellowship and communion with Christ, growing with Kallie, learning from Kallie, enjoying life for what it is, and trying to keep it all going.
