At the site that had our wedding favors featured, I discovered wedding favors I wish I had had at my wedding! Ironically, I have a binary clock in my office, just like the poster of the entry!

Favorable Favors
Our wedding favors were featured in a blog about wedding favors and decorations! They found my picture of them on Flickr and posted about it back in October of this year (almost a year after my wedding). Cool!

Back from Holland, then moved, then…
Well, we went back to Holland the first two weeks of June on a missions trip with the choir from our church. Then, four days after we got back, we moved!
Ruth and I both went to Holland on the first musical missions trip with our church two years ago, but we didn’t know each other then! We still only remember talking to each other a couple of times on that trip. But here we are, two years later, married, and we got to go on the next trip they planned back to Holland! It was an awesome trip!
We moved to an apartment closer to Ruth’s job, and farther from mine compared to where we were. My drive isn’t too much farther, and hers is a lot closer, so it’s worth it. Plus, we moved from a one bedroom to a two bedroom (for just $10 more per month!) which will be great once the baby arrives! Actually, it’s great now since it means we have an office to put the computer and other assorted “novelties” in, other than the bedroom. And we’re on the first floor now (of two) instead of the second (of three), making the move-in easier. Ruth also has a much easier time, not having to climb stairs constantly while pregnant!
We went to church early this morning to make sure the nursery check-in system my family and I spent 16 hours moving on Friday (including two hours on Saturday) was working properly (it was!), so we got home around 11:15 am which is early for us, since we usually go to the 11 am service! Ruth’s already napping since we got around 5 hours of sleep last night, and I think I’ll join her now, then eat while we watch the new episode of Monk I’m recording now.
The past hour or so I’ve been customizing my preferences over at TitanTV’s TV listings, which are very useful since we don’t have digital cable with the on-screen guide anymore (and it has fewer ads than the now-horrid tvguide.com), and also experimenting with a great service that I really like called Spam Gourmet, which is a “disposable email” service to let you register for sites without getting spam, but they have a lot of really flexible advanced options that make me think I might actually make some good use of this service!

BABY COMING!
Just wanted to announce…Ruth and I are having a baby! It’s due the end of December, and we’re going to find out the sex but the ultrasound isn’t until July 25th.
Oh yeah, and we moved in June to a new apartment, closer to Ruth’s job, and not terribly far away from mine!

I’M MARRIED!
As of October 15th, I’m married! It was great…more to come when I have the time :-) I finally got access to my blog here after forgetting the password for a while, hence the reason it’s been so long since I’ve updated :-)

It’s a date!
Unless something drastic happens, we’ve set a wedding date! It’s this fall, a bit earlier than we first thought, and a bit later than we tried at one point, but it looks like all the schedules finally work out! It’s in mid-October! I don’t know if I’ll get more specific here in public or not, but you’ll know it when I’m married! Well, I may post-date an entry so I can concentrate on the honeymoon at that point ;-) Don’t worry, I’ll probably Flickr some pictures for you to check out after-the-fact (I’ve added more pics recently as it is). Maybe even some (emphasis on some :-> ) honeymoon pictures to go with wedding pictures, but you won’t even know where we’re going until afterwards of course :-)

The Ring! Favorite Shot
In case you were wondering what the ring looks like, here it is :-)
You can see more pictures on Flickr in this set!
I’m Engaged!
Yep, it’s something at times I thought I’d never get to say except on April Fool’s day, but it’s definitely real this time!
I’m engaged to be married!
I proposed to my now-fiancรฉe Ruth on Friday evening, May 27th, close to 4:35 pm local time. I won’t bore you with details of the proposal at this time, because if you know her, she probably wants to tell you herself, and will do a much better job of it than I will! Plus, if I’m there when she tells you, I get to see how excited she gets and it about kills me every time! :-)
I’d also prefer to not tell you date predictions (we have an idea but we haven’t locked things down yet) here. But, I will say that we think 12 months for an engagement is too long! :-) But I will almost definitely be over 21 when we get married, which if you know me, narrows it down a tiny bit :-)
YAY YAY YAY!!! :-D
