April Fools, April Fools.

No I'm not getting married. For those of you who missed the announcement below corresponding with a certain date of the year. Sorry, pay more attention!

Anyway, I'm only updating because Angie really wants me to. The problem is that I don't have anything interesting to write about. I've just been busy with work and I can't wait until this month is over. Next month is my May and my 30th birthday month. Yuck, finally turning 30. Well, this blows. Anyway, I'm still trying to squeeze a trip to Italy in before I turn old, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it.

In other news, I saw the movie Slither. It was good. It stared a lot of B+ actors (the captain from the movie Serenity) and had a typical alien invasion story line. I loved the dialog and the directing was good as well. Overall, a good flick. No review because I'm to tired to write it, but see it if you like the genre.

The weather here has been getting nice and Jolene bought a nice mountain bike. I want to buy one also to ride with her, but I've been brought up on the $100 bike theory and some people have recently told me to at least spend $400. Not sure what to believe. I went to the bike shop and looked at all the expensive bikes. I even got to play with Lance Armstrong's bike, which cost $10,000 but was as light as a book. It wasn't the actual one he rode to win 7 Tour de France races, but the model they built for him. It was awesome, but for ten large, I had to pass.

I think I'm going to spend the $400 and just get a nicer bike. It will be my first bike purchase in over 12 years, but I'm excited about it. At the store when they gave it to me to test ride I was really nervous about remembering how to ride it, but you know what they say...

I'm getting MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it had to happen right? I've been dodging this bullet for about 29 years and I finally decided to go ahead and do it. Since my job is moving me in about 8 months and I'm not too good with long distance relationships, I've decided to go ahead and make things official and make XX (she'd rather not have her name on the internet) an honest woman.

My close friends, this should come as no surprise. You know how much I've wanted to be married these last few years (and have kids) and the timing couldn't be better.

When's the wedding? As soon as possible. My birthday is in May so I'm thinking June or July. You are all invited of course and invitations will be going out shortly. It would mean a lot to me if those of you that are close enough to easily come, well, came!

Questions about the ring? I sold off my BMW (as I couldn't really use it to get to Texas anyway) and once the bank clears the funds, I'm picking up the 2 carat diamond. It is going to be sweet! I'll post pictures as soon as I have it.

A lot of people said I would never give up the bachelor lifestyle, but come on, I'd be a fool to pass up an opportunity like this!

Well, that's it for now, hope to see you guys/gals there!
