Happy New Year everyone! Finally getting around to actually posting something. Yay me! I've noticed theres a lot of spam that has been getting through in the comments, I will have to take care of that. =/

Anyways, lets catch up. Thanksgiving we invited our families over. We enjoyed a nice turkey and all the helpings. The day before Thanksgiving I splurged and bought a new 50" plasma TV.

During December we help an open house to invite our friends over for a little holiday cheer and to see the new house. We had quite a few people show up, and I believe everyone had a good time.

For Christmas we spent a few days before over at my parents house. We celebrated Christmas on Saturday. It was a great weekend. We left early Christmas eve to head to Wichita Falls to spend the rest of Christmas with Gwendolyns Family. We had a great time in Wichita Falls. It was nice spending some time with her family we don't get to see very much.

And finally we broke in the new year at my parents house. With lots of friends and fireworks a good time was had by all. We (almost) finally finished of my parents street light. The glass casing is all gone now, but the light keeps on shinning. Those lights seem to be indestructible. We will try again on the 4th of July though!

So be sure to check out all the pictures:

Just a quick note, to check out the latest pictures! A lot has happened in the last week. We've had our fence installed, all the electrical done, and all the vinyl flooring done. About the only thing left we are waiting for are the appliances, water fixtures and the carpet! Having said that though, we had some bad news from KB. They pushed our closing date back two weeks until the 27th! It won't give us as much time as we wanted to get in there and paint before moving, but I think we can still do it.

Heres the past couple days:
2006-10-05 - 2006-10-06 - 2006-10-07 - 2006-10-09 - 2006-10-10

This past weekend we went to the Texas Renaisance Festival with our friends Jake, Beth, and Brian. We all dressed up and had a great time. You can check out pictures of that here.

One last thing, those that like scary movies, be sure to check out the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. My boss's son, Matt Bomer, is in the starring role!

A little later than expected, but our dry wall has finally gone up. In 1 day they seem to have done the entire house. Mind you there are no holes in the dry wall and its not taped or anything. But we can no longer walk through walls. Its neat finally seeing our rooms in the house. Theres a couple days worth of pictures, but really nothing has gone on since the last update.

2006-09-04 - Went to fix the problems they weren't fixing, and celebrated my dads birthday!!
2006-09-15 - Dry wall!!

We just had our pre-dry wall meeting, where our builder took us through our house making sure everything was okay before starting the dry wall. Everything went well. They are going to fix/change a few things and then get started on the dry wall next tuesday! He said we are currently ahead of schedule so its not going to be long now before we are closing! Our closing should be the first week or two in october. We can't wait!

I've updated the photo album with a few more days of building, so be sure to check them all out!

Also check out Gwendolyns new hair cut!

I'm sure you have all heard by now, but I'll say it anyways. Gwendolyn and I bought a house!! YAY! We decided to go with a KB Home up here in Spring not far from where we are now. Its been just over a month, and they have already started with framing the house. I've uploaded all the pictures we have of it here. You can see the model and pictures from any day I go to check it out.

So far its looking great! Gwendolyn and I are really excited and can't wait to move in. I have to say its pretty fun watching it being built from the ground up. :)

Oops... looks like I wrote this but never posted it... so here it is. :)

June 2nd, was the annual ROT Rally in Austin. This is the biggest biker weekend in Texas, and we were there! My parents, Gwendolyn, and I all rode our bikes to spend the weekend in Austin. Gwendolyn and I stayed with our good friends, Jake and Beth, while my parents had a hotel room. The ROT grounds were huge! It was definitely a lot larger than Galvestons rally. Although, I think I like Galvestons a little better.

Everyday we tried to go out to a new restaurant we haven't been to yet. Lucky for us Jake and Beth have already done all the scouting and took us to some really great places! Here's just a few of the places we went:

• Kerbey Lane
• Rio Grande Cafe?
• Magnolia Cafe

Friday night the ROT Rally went for the Guiness Book of World Records, by creating the longest parade. I'm not sure if they accomplished their goal, but I can't imagine them not doing it. The parade was so enormous! There were just thousands and thousands of bikes. The parade was really fun, with people lined up alond the whole parade route, which started about 10 miles outside of austin and ended on Congress St. Definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

Saturday we tried to go on a poker run, but unfortunately we went to the wrong place to start, and weren't able to participate. So we took off on one of the self guided tours of the hill country. Since our first trip to Austin, this is one of the things I've been waiting to do. And boy, it did not dissapoint! The ride was so awesome. It's what driving a motorcycle is all about.

Saturday night, Jake and Beth joined up with us, after we helped them move their new bed (aka matress blob) up to their apartment. We headed back to the rally to watch Joann Jet and the Blackhearts. I have to say she can still rock out, with the best of them.

Sunday we slept in some, ate, and then headed back home. Overall it was an awesome weekend, and we can't wait till next years!
