I owe you this...

Yes, yes, I know I owe you all some pictures and an update... so here we go.

2007 has been an interesting year so far... very eventful actually. Lots of events and changes in addition to lots of new things and fun. My job hasn't changed much, but the company I work for has seen some drastic changes... never a dull moment. As for the family, they've been pretty much the same, which is a good thing. My "love life" has been intersting. I've actually spent some time dating a number of women and have learned a lot about the dating process and mentality in addition to who I am and what I want. Currently, I am not seeing anyone regularly, but we'll see what the future holds. And, yes, I've been busy going out and having fun with friends. Not a whole lot of concerts this year thus far, but I have seen every major sports team at least once this year (Nuggets, Avalanche, Crush, Mammouth, Rockies, 14ers, Rage, seeing the Outlaws on Saturday... missing anyone?). So, overall, life is good. But, to give you some more chronologic detail, see below.

Let's start out with February. Interesting month. On the 2nd, I gave up alcohol for six months (I'm currently more than five months in). I did this due to medication and for personal goals (Lent was a good time, and I decided to just keep going once it was over). It's been an interesting experience. It hasn't been difficult to give up, though I do miss the taste of beer and other drinks and the social aspect that comes along with that. It has been tough with some of the events that have happened since February 2nd, including St. Patty's on a Saturday, my housewarming party, and getting in a car accident (details on these events later...).

Back to February, on the 23rd, I finally got rid of the long hair for good. For a fundraiser to benefit Junior Achievement, work raffled off a chance to give me a haircut. After the dust had settled, my VP won the chance to cut my hair. I had to keep whatever the winner (VP) did from the 23rd (Friday) through the 26th (Monday). It was really embarrasing, but we raised over $700, so it was worth it. See some of the pictures here.

March is when I actually purchased my new place. I was busy on the weekends looking for my new bach pad. I'm happy with the results. See the pictures by clicking here. But, when I wasn't deciding my the purchase of my first home, I had a little fun. I went with the other two amigo's to Snow Patrol at the Fillmore, Mat Kearney at the Ogden, and Carly's Housewarming party. See those pictures here.

April was when I (meaning most of the work was done by my Dad, Mom, and Mike... thanks again) moved into "The Penthouse". The decorating was done by me believe it or not. See the pictures above for how the place looked before my housewarming party. I look forward to decorating more and completing some projects around this place.

May was when I actually I had my housewarming party. I personally had a great time having everyone over to see my abode. Click here to see the pictures from the May 19th party.

June was interesting. I turned 26, went to four separate wedding receptions, had game night at the rents, and was hit by drunk driver (I'm okay, but I'm pretty sure my car is totaled though)... Pictures of the weddings, game night, and car are here.

And, finally, so far in July has been busy. Had Matthew and Stacie's birthday, the "Film on the Rocks" showing of
"The Big Lebowski", went camping with my family, and went to the Renaissance Fair. Birthday pictures are here, Film on the Rocks pics here, Camping pics are here, and "Ren Fest" pics are here.

So there you go, 2007 so far. Who knows what the rest of 2007 holds. I'll let you know. Regardless, hope you're doing great and loving life. Drop me an update soon!

Check ya later!
