So yea, we’re past months without any post what-so-ever. A lots been going on in my life, and I have been neglectful and not posted any information at all. Let me see if I can recap fairly briefly the goings on.
As I said in my last post, my family and I took an amazing trip down to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador. It was an awesome time and a once in a lifetime trip. The wildlife and scenery was amazing. Between 5 digital camera, we took over 2500+ pictures, and I have slowly been working on getting them organized, edited and posted online. You can check out our first few days by clicking on the links below.
During my trip, Kate moved down to Nashville to start her 2 year Masters program at Vanderbilt. It was an event we had not been looking forward to, but now 2 months after the move, it has worked out alright. We are getting to see each other once ever 2 or 3 weeks and with communication and technology the way it is today, we can talk online and on the phone all day. The drive to Nashville isn’t half bad (only 6 hours) and we’re looking forward to being a mid-way point for future traveling friends who head south for vacations and whatnot.
I also moved to a new residence once I returned from the trip. Now I am renting a large house in suburbia with Matt, Newbs and Nick. So far the setup has worked out really well. We have tons of room, including a backyard and a basement where we have setup some weight lifting equipment and stuck to a weekly workout program. It has been a small challenge to get the 4 of us on a chore schedule to keep this huge place in some sort of order, but I think we everything has been going pretty well so far. I think I mentioned in a previous post that I really wanted to get a dog once I moved to a place with a yard. Well, after a week or so of debating and discussing the idea with Kate and my parents, I have decided to wait yet another year (until the move to TN) and not get a dog quite yet. It was a tough choice, but I think I have plenty of other things to keep me occupied and this way Kate and I will raise the dog together.
Even though the combination of work and life has kept me fairly busy, I still have found plenty of time to keep up my video game recreation. 2 weeks back Halo 3 hit stores, and I have been playing it nearly every night. The game is a ton of fun, and has a lot of different parts to keep you entertained and coming back for more. I also have been playing the sequal to an old classic – Team Fortress 2. This is an online PC game that is only multiplayer, but the balance, variety and presentation is top notch and I find myself constantly debating between starting up a match of Halo 3 or TF2.
Finally, wedding planning has not really been taking up much of my time, but I like to thing with everything that Kate has accomplished, I was very much occupied participating in the “yes dear” aspect of our decision making. I won’t go into great detail, but you can find all our updates and information over at our website that I linked to before. http://www.timandkateanderson.com. Moving forward I’m not sure how I plan on splitting time and content between this site and that. I know I’m going to keep posting my general life updates here, but eventually, once we’re married, we plan on turning T&KA.com over to a combined blog for the two of us. I’ll probably end up moving all my general posts to that site, but still use this site for my personal interests like gaming, technology etc…
That’s all for now. I know I promise this almost every post, but I’m sure I’ll write more frequently than once every two months.
