Moving Day

So today I helped move Kathryn (Celeste’s now former roommate) to a new place, Celeste to our new place (where she will be living starting immediately) and 2/3 of my stuff to our new place. We rented a U-Haul truck, which would have been ideal had not it gotten a flat tire after we had dropped everything off and were going to take some stuff to Goodwill, waited 2 hours for the guy to show up and fix it, then got to Goodwill, where the guy was not responsible for them not legally allowed to take some of the stuff we had but was responsible for being as unhelpful as he could about it. But anyways. My furniture is there, mostly, I will be sleeping on the couch for a week. Yay.

New Post

I was told I needed to update my blog.

So I did.

And . . . a Date

So, I have a date. Now, ’round about a year or so ago, this would be a huge deal. I have a date? With a girl? Haven’t done that in a while.

But no, not that kind of date. I have a wedding date. Celeste and I will be married August 1 in the Washington DC temple.

. . . and yeah, that’s all I got.

I am engaged

Okay, so there is probably no one reading this who doesn’t already know – because I told them in person or they found out through Facebook – but last Tuesday (December 30), I asked Celeste to marry me and she, for some reason agreed. Yay. We are looking at late July or early August, but beyond that have pretty much no details whatsoever worked out yet.

A Winner is Me!

So I alluded in my previous post to the fact that it is National Novel Writing Month. Well, I did it. I reached 50,000 words some time last night, which was before I was able to even officially verify my results. Since it is all about quantity of words, not quality, I am not ashamed to say that my story is complete dreck, but it is interesting dreck. (Anyone who wants a copy, just ask and I will email it.) So I will have my nights back, although the story was so easy it practically wrote itself, and I never needed to spend more than an hour or two per day.

Still, yay me! Now to work on my real life challenges . . .
