Highlights since Europe...

So here are highlights of what's been happening since my trip last summer. I really hope I can blog more.

Late summer 2007:
  • I got written up at work for several things including a bad attitude (which was absolutely true.) That (and weight) has caused my blood pressure to go up and I am now on meds. My attitude has improved as well as the other issues. More on recent job things later.
  • In Europe I tore my miniscus (the things that hold the knee in place) from being unfit and walking alot on cobblestone. I went to physical therapy which helped tremendously.
  • We had a long, very snowy winter. Though I still really hate icey days, I still love the snow.
  • Game nights with friends
  • Lots of work
  • Company X moved into a new building (pictures and more details coming soon) which was across the street from our old location.
  • Thanksgiving and Christmas in Vermont - I was really busy with projects and couldn't make it out to California or anywhere else for the holidays. It was a big bummer because of what was to come in January
  • January 2008 - my mom passed away. I thankfully was able to be there to say good-bye. More on that too.
  • Febuary 2008 - Oscar party at the Shearaton hotel. I had about a dozen people show up and I had a great time
  • March - April - Work, work, work. I did go to Maine with Stephanie for a baby shower for her friend Amanda.
  • May (so far) - I got tickets to go to see Dave Matthews Band in CT in June, only I can't find anybody to go with me. I posted them on craig's list so I could offload them and not lose money. I am going in the summer to see Elton John, the biggest music act to play in Vermont EVER. Carrie waited 2 hours in line to get tickets. I am going back to California to not only see my family, but the new Indiana Jones movie.

So much for Europe...

I am giving up on posting the rest of my trip to Europe. In the 10 months since the trip (that's right, 10!) I have hardly blogged. There has been lots that has gone on since then. I expect I will eventually post some of the pictures or go to shutterfly or some place like that to post them for everybody to see.
