Have you heard the one about how a boy meets girl, girl falls madly in love with the dashing good looks and quick wit of said boy?    Well I'm sure you've heard the story many times by now, so I'll spare you from yet another rendition.

Now on to the pictures!

An engagement reason to celebrate with all of you!

After a successful move into the condo this past weekend - I feel like the weight of the world (or at least my little corner of Westlake & Denny) has been lifted off of my shoulders.  Oh sweet relief! 

Without my thoughts fixated on all things real estate, I anxious at getting to all of the things I've missed out on thinking about for a while... food, drink & good times!

This is a personal invitation to come on by the new condo... (I kinda promise I won't make you break down cardboard boxes & take them down to the recycling room).    <= This only applies to you if I know you in person.  I may make exceptions if you have a box cutter and am willing to make a few trips down a nice cargo elevator.  No crazies though - unless you're the fun kinda crazy.

Oh, but before I forget - I did realize one more thing... I'm fat.  FAT.  Sometimes I don't get to see the kind of shoes I'm wearing until I get home to take them off.  This is serious, so stop your laughing.    Ok, so yea... this is my public pledge to slim down.  Operation Nike... just do this dam thing!

 Ok so I've started the whole "lets go broke" campaign, and this is what I've managed so far...
