i’ve had lots of things to blog about but i’ve been too busy to write about it, but thought i’d catch my blog up now that i have a few moments of downtime in the hotel. since i announced i was moving, i’ve been going out to dinner with friends and family pretty much every night, and i’ve been slammed at work transitioning out. taka and i’ve been packing up the apartment and might move as early as next week.

taka’s going to be staying at my mom’s house through the pregnancy, and after this week, i’ll be staying with her there too, and will come down here for good either the 25th or june 1st, depending on when the little one arrives. i finally met the group of people i’ll be working with down here and i’m really excited. these people are friendly, young and smart and a totally different atmosphere than where i was. the offices are also very fancy high tech with doors that unlock as you walk through corridors and very trendy designs. everyone i’ve run into since i landed here has been really polite, it’s all very surreal.

things have been happening so fast that big things seem like small things in comparison. we’re due in like 2 weeks!!! we had the family baby shower on sunday and it was really nice. almost all of my family and eric and tina (the god parents) came down, and we really received almost everything on our registry, with gift certificates to buy the last few things that we still need.

amazingly, eric and i sold the boat in just a couple of days! we sold it for $1000 less than we bought it for, so not a bad return on investment on something that we got so much use out of over 4 or so years. while it was sad to see it go, it was the second happiest day in our boat ownership. not to mention my mom was happy to have her driveway back.

i imagine it’ll be a while before i’m back to my regular blogging, but i plan to make a correspondence post here and there. i’ll also keep up on the twittering, so you can follow me there.
