Catch Up Session

Well what can I say, but it's been a while since I posted on here. Been busy and gloomy for a little while now. Trying to break the funk with a fresh post.

Here's a recap of what's happened since the last blog:

Steph and I had a beautiful wedding in Whitfield square. The weather was fantastic and my bride was as beautiful as a queen. The ceremony went pretty smoothly and best of all I didn't trip on my vows.....public speaking has never been my strong point.

The reception was fantastic and I was so absorbed by making the rounds and talking to everyone. Everyone seemed to have a great time and there was hours of dancing and galavanting. I even took my groomsmen outside for a cigar and a quick duel.....we actually had some toy bb guns that we were carrring with us the day of the wedding, so we needed a chance to play. The wedding night....ur....well that's an epic story that I will leave for my memoirs.

After the wedding Stephanie and I decided to buy a new house in a different area around Savannah that has much a much better school system. The schools in chatham county are NOT good! The new house we picked out is in a much nicer neighborhood and is located on a tidal creek with lots of marsh grass. The back yard has some very pretty views of the marsh.

To buy the new house we've been trying to sell our current house. This has not been easy. The house has been on the market for 3 months and the showings have been few and far between. The problem is partly related to our crappy realtor and partly due to the fact our house is the nicest place in the surrounding area....few people want the nicest place on the block.

There was a guy one block from our house who decided to part out a Toyota Supra on his front lawn. The place looked like a junkyard. I had to call the city to come convince the guy to start cleaning up his yard. We'll see if anything happens. I must say that it is really frusterating when other people around you affect your life so much. We've been ready to sell for months and I would estimate that this guy has scared away at least 3 buyers already. Pretty crappy. I need a crack delta force to storm his yard and steal the offending automobile. If you are part of an elite delta force and might be interested in an easy buck, please give me a call.

Stephanie has been gloomy lately because she dislikes her grad classes so much. It seems that her masters at Georgia Southern has turned out to be sort of a flop....poor class availability, inflexible for students with full time jobs, idiot proffessors.

Most of the stuff that has happened over the past year has been sort of gloomy but I must say Michael and Sarah have been the silver lining to all this mumbo jumbo. This past August, I put Michael's resume in at Gulfstream and they hired him! So Micheal and his girlfriend Sarah moved out here. Steph and I really love hanging out with them. We have some interesting coversations together about the Savannah locals. I'll have to elaborate on this in future blogs.

Well this pretty much covers the past couple of months. I'll have to get back on here to expound on some of the racier aspects of life here in Chatham. This blog has to live up to being an Abomination in Progress and I have yet to unleash the full surge of my insanity on this sucker.

Peace.

Nice to see that you finally posted something. I gotta tell you I almost took your link off my page.
Sorry to hear about your house difficulties. Its too bad that I can't use my PC-first person-gaming skills to help take of your neighbor. I could drop a flash-bang and the whole thing would be over before anyones eyes could adjust.
Nice to hear your bro moved down. Is it wierd working with him? LJ and I loved your wedding verry classy. Hey, if you didn't read it here is a link that I did all about your wedding.
