Batcave

This is the view from out table at "The Horny Toad". Chad ordered the surf n' turf.. It was going to cost $69.95... He got something else. ;) I'll have the chicken strips.

Quite a few of us from Missouri State are at the HELIX conference in Osage Beach this year. Josh and I drove up together and were going to share a room. Well, appearantly we arriced at just the right time. They give out the rooms in the main buildings first then spread out to the cabbin type things. We checked in just after the rooms in the main buildings filled up an got "upgraded" to one of the suites. As you can see from the pictures above it is HUGE with a nice view of the lake!

And I've got good news. Good news is that there are no trees left in our yard to fall and hit the house. And the good news is that I am not gonna have to rake next fall... ;) Our last standing tree fell over today. Right across the driveway like I figured it would. The neighbors came over this morning and helped clear the half a tree that fell into the house last night. What a mess...

The first round of ice went through last night. This is what is left of our back yard. Fortunatly none of our trees are big enough to hit either the house or the power. We are still supposed to get a few more inches tonight and tomorrow. Then some snow monday... By some miracle we still have power. No one else we know has power so we are gonna have one heck of a sleep over. :) Five people so far. The sucky part is that while we have power the phones are out so no DSL. :( Thank goodness for pocket pc phones!

Well it has been a busy month. We closed on our new house on December 8th and started moving in that day. We had our DSL up and running that night. You know, the important stuff. We slept on the mattress in the dinning room floor as the carpet was still wet from the good shampooing we gave it. We have all our stuff in the house and the garage. A good part of it is moved in and it looks fairly normal. :) We have been there for almost a month now and I'm still not sure it has sunk in yet..

The day before yesterday it was 68 and sunny... Today? 11 inches of snow with the low tonight headed for 9...

Well it was bound to happen eventually. Last Friday Susan and I finally got married! Follow the link for more pictures and details.

We went to Eureka Springs for a friend's wedding. It was held at the Crescent Hotel. It was built in 1886. Room 212 is supposedly haunted. It is an amazing building.

I've been busy of late with the new job and WoW and such. I got one of the new black Nintendo DS lite's this past weekend. I brought it into work and got it on the wireless and played Mario Kart with 3 other people from somewhere in the world. That was pretty cool. There are many cool hacks and rom flashes for it but i have not decided yet if i want to break my new toy. lol Five of us also went to the KC renfest this weekend. It was a blast. See ya next time.

Windows Mobile FTW! Saw this Verizon treo 700w ad at the airport. Nice to see my favorite mobile OS getting real publicity.

Oooo look! An ipod vending machine... Sometimes the world hurts my head.
