A Little Update:

I haven't written in a while and wanted to say a quick hello. I'm a little home sick, but I'm enjoying my new job and am learning a ton of new stuff. (My home sickness is the reason I put a picture up of my "true" home...Blacksburg, VA...go HOKIES! :) ) My body has yet to adjust to my normal 8 to 5 schedule...but we're getting there. Not that 8 is early...but it takes an hour for me to get to work...not really because of the drive from Burlington, but because apparently there is NO parking in Chapel Hill and I have to park in the middle of nowhere and bus in every morning. I have enjoyed eating lunch sitting down on Franklin St. and watching the World Cup on the big screen TVs. I asked for a new Dell 5150 Dimension computer for work and yesterday I received my new Dell 9150 with a 19" LCD flat screen monitor...it's always nice getting more than you asked for! My boss gave me crap about having a better computer than him...but Scott assured me that he'd be buying one for himself soon and not for me to get to feeling too special. :) After a weekend at the beach "resort" (gosh...it was better than a resort!), we spent last weekend relaxing and cruising around town burning up valuable gas in my new ride (i have yet to make the first payment...so until then I still count it as very new!). We finally went to see the movie "Cars"...very cute...it satisfied his Nascar needs while it was cute enough to hold my attention for the whole time (not that Cory didn't come home and watch the Busch race that he DVRed at my place...but at least I didn't have to sit still and watch the whole thing). I'm trying to move a bit of his enthusiasm for cars to boats and I think I'm succeeding. After the weekend we spent in the Outer Banks, I think we've decided that a boat is in our future. He wants to fish and I want to ski...so he's gonna be fishing out of a big boat....hehe. Well, it's off to bed for me. I haven't been into the Carolina Hurricanes hockey...but I figured I should watch the final game...unfortunately they just lost in overtime...so I'm gonna have to tune in again to see them seal the deal...well, at least I hope so. The folks in this neck of the woods will be real disappointed if they don't bring home the Cup this go around. Everybody keep checking in and I'll be sure to send out an e-mail with my new address and stuff soon. It's gonna be a busy next few weeks though...looks like I'm going to Winston in a couple of weekends to hang out with friends and then headed to Mrytle Beach the weekend after that to hang out with my family. Miss ya all so much!!!
