Packing Up

Well, we're almost done packing. Things are still not quite looking bare because we haven't moved the furniture, but virtually everything is in a box, bin, or tote of some kind. My desk is clean!

Tonight, there will apparently be a little get together at Steamboat Park in our honor. Ty and Amber Margheim have contacted a few people from church and asked them to show up. I'm not sure what's planned though. Unfortunately, I won't be able to do my final lessons with my young students but that's ok. I'll just have to come back and visit them.

Super Laurie Website Released

I have released a preview version of the new Super Laurie website, at SuperLaurie.org. Check it out, and subscribe to the feed.

Super Laurie, v0.1

I have recently had just a tad more time on my hands (a temporary situation, I assure you). Therefore, I've been developing several websites. One in particular is SuperLaurie.org! For some of you, this is a day long coming. For others, you're a bit confused. Here's the lowdown:

Super Laurie is my wife, at least, that's her alter ego (nickname). Super Laurie is also a comic book character created by my wife. Several Super Laurie comic strips exist in a notebook that Laurie has kept with her since high school. The comic strip had taken on a life of its own for quite some time in college, when several of her friends seemed very interested to become "characters" in "The Adventures of Super Laurie"... then, Laurie met me.

Apparently, this had an adverse effect on her diligence to meet the demands of her fans, and the comic strip died. Until now!!! Since I was responsible for the death of this once loved comic book superhero, I figured I'd try and help bring her back. So, I'm here to tell you people that Super Laurie has gone digital! So, without further ado, I give you SuperLaurie.org.

Now, please keep in mind that this is a preview. We've had no time to really get into this, but interest from you guys will certainly give us some incentive to get it going after we finish moving.

Contact Page Updates

I've added some superfluous updates to my contact page. I call them superfluous because, frankly, I don't even know why I did it. *sigh* Oh well. My twitter status is updated on the site, and there's a link to my facebook profile. Woohoo!

Social Networking: Pure Evil

It's late... and guess what. I'm up just wasting my time browsing around in the social networking world. What an absolute waste of time. But, since there's sooo much to see, you can't help but waste your time if you want to actually browse. Ugh!

And is all I want to do is add a couple of cool badges to my site for my various profiles. Seeing little icons for various social networking sites seems to give visitors warm fuzzies. Blah! Why do I even bother.

Moving Time is Here

Well, we're back in Pierre. It's that time... yep.. moving time! We'll be spending the next week seeing some close friends, getting a few stern looks at church from those who couldn't dream of anyone wanting to live anywhere other than Pierre, and finishing packing. There's at most one item in that list that will be pleasant. Can you guess which?

Seeing Chris and Karen was nice, as usual. I'm glad Laurie was able to see little Jonathan, finally. Chris alternated between gushing over his baby (which is quite respectable), and speaking (and encouraging me to speak) geek-ish nonsense that caused Laurie and Karen to promptly ignore us.

And naturally, eating lunch with the in-laws was nice also. It was nice to see them feeling over the rush of craziness involved in the wedding. Once we're back in town, we'll have them over and treat them to some grilled food.

The Aftermath

We're back in Omaha, and everything is attempting to settle down. Cleaning up the reception site went smoothly, except for a wait for the maintenance dep't of Arbor State Park to get a ladder for us to get the lights down with. The bride's parents are de-stressing a little. Poor Shadow (the dog) didn't fare too well on the trip back from the kennel, and is in a state of exhausted anxiety, as well as pain in her failing hips.

I feel like I ought to mention that the "trickling" effect from this morning's hangover crowd didn't include me (despite the opinion to the contrary of the naysayers out there... just kidding...). However, as usual I woke up 15 minutes late. It's just my style. (have I mentioned I hate mornings?)

Sooo Early

Well, it's the day after and--due to the "open bar"--people are a little slow waking up. Breakfast featured a "trickling" effect as everyone woke up and stumbled in. We have yet to clean up the site of the reception before heading back to Omaha.

It's My Birthday

August 17, 2008, Jeff and Stacey's wedding, Nebraska City, NE

I'm about to head over to the Morton Historic Barns, near the Lied Lodge in Nebraska City, to prepare the music for this evenings wedding. It's been a fairly relaxing day, thankfully. The wedding will be late this evening, at 6:00 pm, so we'll be busy until midnight in all likelihood. It sounds like there will be some drinks at the reception too, which could be nice.

The deep breath before the plunge...

Wedding Fever

Yesterday marked the beginning of the festivities for Jeff and Stacey's wedding! The event isn't until Sunday at 6:00 pm so we've got tons of time. Plus, it'll be my birthday!!! Party time!
