So it only took a year, but I have finally fixed my laptop (the desktop still needs a fan - at least I hope that's all it needs). I thought that my laptop hada virus, but apparently the entire hard drive was jacked, so I had it replaced. It was cheaper than a new computer.

So, yea. Sorry.

Here's what's been going on since November:

I've been working. A lot. It's fun and I love it and it's crazy and exciting and I'm constantly learning new stuff. I love my co-workers. And that's about all I can say about it.

I haven't talked to some of my friends in days, some in weeks, others in months & I am very sorry about that. I need updates from all of you. Thankfully T-Dawg has been emailing blog posts as I can't read them at work from the actual sites. I hope everyone is doing well.

I've been playing a lot of Rock Band with the family. I need to get a PS3 so I can download, but I don't feel like paying for one. We even got my mom to play. It's awesome watching her play the drums. She's also doing ballroom dancing & starting to compete. Her best friend died a few weeks ago from some sort of heart murmur. She wasn't even 50 yet. They'd been friends since before the Roll was alive. It was sad & scary.

Watching the usual amount of TV & reading a whole bunch. Layla is doing well. Jeff got her a UGA jersey for Christmas & we're looking forward to the upcoming season. She wore it during the bowl game.

There is so much I missed saying, but I can't remember enough of the details to really attempt to write about it now, so I'll just tell you about the last 2 weeks.

Last weekend was the Roll's 22nd b-day. We got together in Raleigh, met up with a fellow Chattahoochee grad Billy (he helped save Jeff's life) & saw Ironman, went to dinner at Carolina Ale House. Then we played a little Rock Band, got Matt, met up with Bam & went to 2 bars - Lucky 13 & Stool Pidgeons. Twas fun. I am glad I went since Roll headed for Atlanta yesterday and then will be off to Orlando to start her new job within a week or so.





My brother and sister graduated on Mothers' Day weekend (2 weekends ago). Jeff graudated on Saturday from NC State & Roll graduated on Sunday from Duke. A bunch of family from both sides came to NC and we had lots of fun.

Friday night we had a bbq/keg party at Duke with 7 of Roll's friends & their families. All the girls were in the same sororiety & have been friends since freshman year. Saturday was Jeff's graduation & at his small one they let everyone give a little speech & introduce their families. Saturday night we rented a room at Michael Dean's & had another party. My mom & I put together some slide shows/game shows about my siblings & we made my mom do a shot & gave her a house divided birdhouse.

That night the cousins went to beer truck at Duke. Basically the school pays for Miller Light to bring in a bunch of kegs & give everyone free beer. It was fun. My sister is an insane dancer. And I don't mean she's that good; I mean she looks like she escaped from an institution.
