Fun Times...

Fun times are upon us. I just got back from a mall where I met WWE announcers Jim Ross (JR) and Lillian Garcia. They were very nice and were in town to promote Wrestlemania 24 tickets going on sale. Wrestlemania will take place on March 30th at the Citrus Bowl and tickets go on sale Saturday.I plan to have mine on Thursday from the presale.The bottom line is... come Sunday,there won't be a ticket left. I'm looking forward to it, but I won't weight the entire blog down with wrestling.

Earlier today I had my one year evaluation with my company and in addition to saying very nice things about me, they decided to give me a raise. I was expecting a small raise, but this was a bit more, so that was nice! More than anything, it makes me feel justified in moving here.
My only complaint about work was the pay and since that area looks to be improving, I'm happy all the way around.
Last Thursday we embarked on a road trip to North Carolina to see Whitney and Graham and attend their Halloween party. Mary and I went as Wario and Princess Peach. The party itself was fun, but I think we had more fun just hanging out with them. We wish we could have stayed longer, but thats the way work is sometimes. We got a break from the ever beautiful tropical weather here and experienced "real" weather up there. It felt nice to be in a cool rain.
It made me miss home a little, but then I remember that those cool rains turn cold and last for months... Mary and I really enjoyed the time together on the road as well. It helped us refresh our batteries and feel even more connected to each other. We made a stop off in Jacksonville on our way back to hang out with Annie and Billy, or Bannie. Annie was kind enough to make us supper and we watched her Sox destroy the Rockies. I didn't want to leave there either, but we carried on and made it home safe. This was our second trip to Annie A's apartment. On our first we ended up going to the beach, playing some games, and watching Florida get beat by Kentucky. Also a fun time.

This weekend we also plan to see the Abbots, as they come visit us for the weekend. We decided to hold off a bit on taking Annie to the Happiest Place on Earth. We will probably do that next month so Bannie can see the Christmas deco. However, we will try to find some drinks and fun around that area this weekend.

Speaking of drinks, we went out last
Wednesday night to celebrate Krystal's 21st B-day with some of the BWP crew. It was an interesting night of birthday cake, panhandlers, and the backseat of our car never being the same again... We'll just leave it at that... If you want to know more, just ask...

Well, I think I have fulfilled my contractual obligation and have run out of things to write about. Holla.
