Wedding Website
I created a wedding website for us. I'll keep adding more details to it. I kind of did the easy stuff first. :-)

US Population Hits 300 Million
I thought this was a funny part in the article on the event:
"When the U.S. population officially hit 200 million in 1967, President Johnson held a news conference at the Commerce Department to hail America's past and to talk about the challenges ahead. Life magazine dispatched a cadre of photographers to find a baby born at the exact moment, anointing a boy born in Atlanta as the 200 millionth American.
This year, there's a good chance the 300 millionth American has already walked across the border from Mexico."

I've had a good week...
I guess I haven't announced it here yet, but I'm sure I've talked to everyone who reads this. Gary and I got engaged last Saturday (the 7th). We went to San Antonio for the weekend and he proposed after dinner Saturday night on the River Walk. Yay! I'm so happy and excited. :-)
We've begun researching ideas for what to do for a wedding and it seems that we will probably do a cruise / destination wedding.
We had a busy weekend this weekend as well. Friday night we made a quick appearance at Main Event for an outing with Gary's work team. Then we went down to the Sons of Hermann Hall to see Guy Forsyth. He was very good and it was an interesting place (a music venue since 1911). We met Liz and Daniel there and we haven't seen them in quite awhile so it was nice to see them.
Saturday evening we went to see the Blue Man Group at the American Airlines center. That was pretty cool also. It was definitely different from anything I've seen in person. It was more of a concert than I expected, however the show is called "How to be a Megastar", so maybe I shouldn't have been surprised.
And that was my good week. :-)

In Other News...
Just a few tidbits of my life lately:
- I got an MP3 player and I had no idea what I was missing. Gary described it best when making fun of me... saying that I would be like "Oh, I like that song.... Ohhhh, I like that song too". It's true. :-)
- Gary and I did a record 3 laps around white rock lake on our bikes this past weekend. It's 27 miles and although we have gone that far before, we've only done it at bike rallies where there are lots of rest stops and refreshments to keep us going. We did stop between each lap for a Clif bar but, Gary's convinced that a banana sure would have made that last lap easier.
- Work is getting a little less stressful again, however I doubt it will last. I've been training someone to take over part of my duties, but she just got moved. She's being replaced, but I will basically need to start training over with the new person.
- I've been checking out several new shows and really like Six Degrees and Studio 60. I still have my old standbys... and then I'm really liking Nip/Tuck which I started watching on DVD (just finished season 1).
- I do do more than watch tv though. I've been continuing to work out and I can actually say that it may actually be getting easier. I do a lot of step classes and I think I am finally ready to graduate to using 1 "riser". Woohoo.
- Gary is also on quite a winning steak with games lately... Trivial Pursuit (not a surprise, it's really not my thing) and Crazy Rummy. For the next Trivial Pursuit game I believe we agreed on a new rule to make it a little more even: I get two chances/questions every time I land on the opporutnity for a pie. :-) Believe me... it's fair.
And that's my update.

Skunks Again
Would you believe the skunks are still living around our office building??
My boss saw one today when he went out to lunch. I guess we all need to be careful walking out to our cars. They seem to be living in the bushes right near the door, since that is where they've been spotted. Yikes. Wish me luck. LOL.
