Haven't blogged since Italy.... it's been a function of work being busy, life outside of work being dull, and not a whole lot changing.
I was on R&R in late November and early December, and the R&R was busy. Wedding planning, dance lessons, catching up on 6 months of mail, Thanksgiving and early Christmas all rolled up together.
We met with Amanda's childhood pastor and he didn't refuse to wed us!
My room-mate was in the process of moving out and is now gone, so Amanda has started "softening" my condo.
I ate some incredible food while home. Melting Pot, Saluda's, Saskatoon, and Schianos all stood out. Plus we got to try the rehearsal dinner cakes and bring some home. Member's of the wedding are in for a treat... hint hint... Patrick Goodman.
This next go around for me is much shorter at only 6 weeks between R&Rs. We are headed to Jamaica in mid January to get some all inclusive resort practice prior to the honeymoon. 81 degrees, swim up bars, 15 restaurants... we can't wait.
Amanda continued exposing me to Downton Abbey and I introduced her to Sherlock. The British TV theme fit well with my Christmas present to her... a tea set!
In other news... wedding invitations ought to go out soon... and since we have no wedding website... or shame... we are registered at Bed Bath & Beyond, Amazon, & Macys.
I'm coming up on a year at site and believe I'm well past the half way point... still thousands of reasons to be here though... 5 honeymoon payments, 9 car payments... I expect by late Summer 2014 I'll be wrapping up things here, hopefully on my way to Greenville for a rotation through the office and a chance to you know... live with my wife.
