We went up to Meg's folk's house in CT Friday night. We were true to our heritage and started our journey at sun down. We figured that if we got in the car when it was time for J to go to sleep, she'd fall asleep on the way, and then all we'd have to do is drop her in the crib when we got there.

Most of the plan worked, up until Meg put her into the crib. There was a bit of crying (well, a lot more than a bit :) ), but she eventually when down. The best part of the following day is that I was able to get up at 8 and then go back to sleep for family nap time at 9:30, and then sleep past Meg, Meg's mom, and J leaving. I got out of bed at 1:00pm. I haven't done that since college. I kept lying in bed think I had something to do.

While out, Meg picked me up an "Italian Stallion". The Italian Stallion is a most excellent Italian sub from The Bridgewater Country Store. So I gobbled down my sandwich watching the Mets v. Yankees Game. Shawn Estes lame attempt of beaning the Rocket was truley pathetic. Unfortunately the Bronx Bombers fell eight to nothing. Hey, there's always tommorow.

We followed the same theory for baby transport for the ride home. This time it worked like a charm. My guess is that it she was in her own crib this time and not grandma's. :)

Today is June 14th. Right now four years ago I was getting ready for what was to be one of the best things I have ever done in my entire life. In case you don't already know, it's my anniversary. What's funny is the weather today (which is cold and rainy) was the same as my wedding day. Fortunately, the sky let up just in time for the ceremony.

We were married at my in-law's home in CT. It was quite a scene. We had a big tent, lots of people, and great food. We had such a great time. I'm amazed at how something that took that long to plan could be over so soon. My best man, Jodi, gave me some advice prior to the wedding. He told me to make sure that I remembered everything. Remembering big events is no problem for me, it's remembering to call the sewage authority so they don't put our house on the block.

When it came time for me to make a toast, I recalled the conversation that Meg and I had in the car on the way up the day before. It was pouring out, and I don't mean cats and dogs, it was more like pigs and cows! Meg, who tended to worry a lot at the time, was certain that the weather would be the same for our wedding day. This is what I said:

"What's the first thing you do when you plant a seed? Water it."

Well, I can tell you that when I said this in front of everyone, I got in trouble. A number of the guests came up to me afterwards and told me that their wives told told them that they never say things like that. My mother's comment was "I must get my DNA checked" because she couldn't believe I was her son.

We left for our honeymoon the Wednesday following the wedding. It was spent in Firenze (Florence) and Capri, Italy. I have to say that this has to be one of the nicest places I have ever been. The food is amazing, and the people convey a genuine appreciation for your business (no like the French). I recommend Italy to everyone.

The next big event in our lives is coming up in a few weeks. Our daughter, Jordyn (or "J" for short) will be a year old. I'll be sure to share photos from the blast we're throwing.

This is kinda cool. I've been listening to cableradio.co.uk for the last day or so. Anyhow, they were talking about the housing market in the UK, anf the DJ solicited emails from the US in regards to our housing market. So I sent an email, and I got my name and email mentioned on the air! Cool, huh?

So, if you know anything about me, I'm now on my 4th blogging app in 2 hours. Anyway, now it's w.bloggar. Looks like this'll do the trick. Also, it's in VB, so I can feel the authors pain ;) .

My sister asked me what a blog was. So, I typed 'blog" into the handy Google Toolbar (as I always do), and blamo! I guess I have a blog site now. It's funny how these things go. One second your minding your own business surfing the net, and the next, your surfing the net (hmm).

I do have a frustrating situation though. The space bar on my keyboard is broken. So the action is all messed up. Oh well, the results of a free market economy will be in my bank acct. in a wk and a-new-system-a-buying I will go. AMD 2100+/1GB DDR/120GB HD/DualHead LCD. Should be sweet. I'll let ya know how it goes.
