OK, I've finally got a chance to blog about my really exciting news.  So hear it is...I am now a married man!!!  I married Lindsey Nicole VanderWoude on October 15, 2005 in her home town of Birmingham Alabama.  She is an incredible woman!  The wedding was awesome...meaningful ceremony, fun reception and adventuresome honeymoon.  Hopefully photos will come soon (trying to determine the best way to present them).  I am excited about the journey ahead.

I'm pleased to announce that I'm officially a homeowner!  I bought a townhouse in the Vinings (Sminings) area of Atlanta.   I closed the deal last Monday and moved in this past weekend.  The move was rough (isn't it always), but I'm really excited about living there.  Here are some photos of Lindsey and I looking at it before we decided to buy.

Well, I ran my first road race with Lindsey on Saturday.  It was the GA-400 Road Race which is a four mile loop through the heart of Buckhead (quite hilly I might add).  I haven't been running long, in fact this was only the second time I've ever run four miles (I did run five miles once...I usually just do 5Ks).  We actually did quite well.  We finished the race together in 35:17 (which averages just under 9 minute miles).  This was a personal record for me :)  I had such a good time I may actually consider doing it again sometime.  I was also very proud of Lindsey.  She finished 50th of all the women registered (about 500 I think).  She's a fantastic running partner!

I'm posting this from my favorite local coffee shop. I love resting on Sunday afternoons!

I did it...I finally got engaged!  I asked the girl of my dreams to marry me.  We took a trip to Miami to visit my parents and I asked her to be my wife on the beach.  Here are the photos.  Enjoy :)
