Gobs of updates

Wow, it's been a busy few months.

Since the last post, we've arrived back from our vacation to New Zealand, shopped for an apartment or condo or townhouse to live in, purchased one, had Donna's mum (NZ for mom, heh) stay with us for 3 weeks over Christmas, been to Kamloops overnight twice to pick up/drop off my mom over Christmas, had Christmas of course, did New Year's, packed, moved, partially unpacked and found out we're pregnant!

And that's just the personal stuff. Professionally, the business I've been working at was sold in December, my job status was up in the air for awhile, which really was awesome to have the added stress on top of the rest of the excitement going on (such as dealing with pain-in-the-butt house sellers), and because of all the changeovers it's been looking like this job isn't going to be anywhere near as interesting as it used to be. But, that's just the surface of it at the moment and we'll see how it goes.

Fortunately, things have begun to settle down a bit. And just a bit - the excitement around having a morning-sick (at any time) wife is all new to me, we've still got a lot of unpacking to do (I'm amazed at how hard it is to get rid of some stuff even on Freecycle), and oh yes, we had an ultrasound this past week and I saw our baby's tiny heart beating. That's really something else - just the whole proof that I'm going to be a dad, seeing such a tiny thing with a pulse, etc. In a few weeks when we have the next ultrasound done, I'll be sure to get some pictures done.

And speaking of pictures, over the past few days during lulls in the roar, I've completely re-done the image galleries bit of the website. Some of our wedding and honeymoon photos have been added in, and I also created a new album of my own for all of the worst shots I'm in. I get a laugh out of most of them.

I'm going to post more soon... really, sure... within the next 6 to 48 months, I'm sure.

Duurn Shkippy!

Congratulations! To both you and Donna. For the wedding and now for the little one!

I may be able to give you a few tips. I'm into my second year of marriage myself and have been a dad for over 7 months. Nate's almost got 4 teeth, is almost walking and is instantly attracted to anything electronic with blinky flashies. =) You two are in for the best time's of your lives.
