1. I GOT ENGAGED! oh my god! — sure sure i know people want to see a ring picture on here. I’ll get to it. I will i swear. I’ve been neglecting my blog lately, so don’t think this post means I’ve suddenly stopped neglecting, I’m sure it’ll stay slightly neglected for a while, till i have more free time to post.

2. Got a cute puppy named Stella. Laurie and I don’t really know her breed, but the current idea is some sort of long haired chihuahua, Shiba Inu, and Terrier mix. DISCLAIMER: On any given day our ideas on what breed of Stella is may change completely.

3. I’ve had a full calender year working a regular job, not in the military. Rock on. I’m totally content with my current career path. It was a great change of direction. Not to devalue my military time or anything, because I feel it was a very valuable experience, but i did need a change.

4. I’ve had a full calender year living in my own house.

5. Got new windows and storm door for said house.

6. Did a lot of painting in said house.

7. Hung out a lot with cool neighbors of said house.

8. Found a big-ass spider in my basement.
Is that all? Well its all I can think of right now. Yes finally.. the Spider picture is not the first post on my blog anymore. You happy? ok good.
