Oh hi!

Well hot damn, it's been over a year! Where is my life going? One year later and that is still an ever present question. It's nice to know that some things will never change, eh?!

So how've you been? I've been well. Busy sometimes, not busy other times. A nice balance really. There's no way I'm going to be able to recount the details of the whole past year, so I'll just try to give an overview and maybe touch on a few highlights.

Let's see... I spent New Year's Eve in Chi-town with the most awesomest Valpo crew ever. Reuniting is so fun. And adorable pictures were taken. Please reference facebook.

In February, Kirsten and I enjoyed a production of Jesus Christ Superstar starring Mr. Ted Neeley aka JESUS. OMG. It was amazing. He's like 90 years old but he can still rock.

I've really been enjoying my not-so-new role at MJP. It's been about a year now and I like the people, I like the work, so things are good! In the past year I've travelled to Orlando (a bunch), Tucson and Nashville for work which is always super fun. I've also gotten to spend a great deal of time at the Columbus Convention Center and the Aladdin Shrine Center. Talk about awesome.

My hair is back to it's regular color for all those who were worried about that (I'm talking to you Mike Scott; I know it was keeping you up at night).

I'm still loving my apartment. Big news for the year there is that I got cable and (legal) internet! Is DVR the most amazing invention ever?! I submit that yes, it is.

I took a few trips over the summer making stops in Chicago to see the awesome people again, Memphis to see Caroline (and Elvis), and Boston to see Auntie Sarah and the other Caroline in my life, a one Ms. Harvey. Good times everywhere.

While I was in Chicago, I went to Lollapalooza for a day. That was an experience. So many people, it was unreal. but I saw a lot of good peeps. My day went like this, if I remember correctly (it feels like it was 3 years ago): The Blakes, Kid Sister, The Whigs, Brazilian Girls, Black Kids, G. Love and Special Sauce, Blues Traveller, Gnarls Barkley, The National, and Nine Inch Nails. It was quite a full day. But I'm happy to say I didn't have to use a Port-a-potty once. I rock.

So I quit Netflix which might make you worry that I won't have any completely out of date movie reviews to give, but worry not. I started spending time with someone special and he threatened to break up with me when he found out I had never seen any of the Star Wars movies. So now I've seen Episodes 4-6, and you know what? They're pretty dang entertaining. So there you go. Also, go see Role Models.

My last post was right after Thanksgiving, the day after the LC concert. And wouldn't you know it, THIS post is right after Thanksgiving, the day after the LC concert. Weird. I spent T-day in North Carolina, as per usual. It was a little more low key this year as not everyone was able to make it home, but the food was as awesome as ever so I felt pretty good about it all. Missed the step-bros and nephew Caleb though!

I feel the same as I always do about the concert: I got paid so hooray! Lancaster is going to own my soul for the next two weeks though cause we're doing the same concert we did yesterday next weekend in Chillicothe (ask me for details! You KNOW you want to come. Ha.), and then we're doing like a million (or 2) concerts with Pro-Musica the weekend after that. It's a good thing I like to sing (for money).

Let's see, what else? Everyone I know has had a birthday, so thank you all for being born.

And that brings us to now! I hope you've enjoyed my year in review. Now come visit me cause I have a pull out sofa that no one has appreciated and that's crap.

Ok byeeeeeeee.
