New Truck!!!!

Finally got my new truck! It's an 2003 F150 King Ranch, 5.4L Triton V8, Crew Cab. It's absolutely amazing! I love it. Here are a few pictures I took today. The truck isn't washed or waxed yet, but it will be as soon as all the snow goes away.

Snopocalypse 2010

Well, there's been some crazy, crazy snow the last few weeks here in the DC area. Here are a few photos from the past few days with all the crazy snow:

It sure has been a while...

Well, I figured since it's been over 4 months since my last post it'd be about time for one...

I've been really busy with work lately. I've been working anywhere from 45-55 hours a week and been working on lots of challenging projects. The one pictured below is very near to my apartment and across the highway from Regan Airport. I'm here at least twice a week for 3-4 hours per visit. It's going to be a Residence Inn when it's all finished.

Here I am on the side of a building in the Courthouse Plaza in Arlington, VA.

Another job I got to work on was an old church steeple that was struck by lightning. Here's a picture of me inside the steeple. I had to wear a respirator because of all the pigeon poo. It was pretty disgusting.

Since my last post, my best friend Josh got married to my, now, best-friend-in-law Whitney. I got to be in the wedding which was a great excuse to come home and see everyone. I love it! Now I can't listen to "I Got A Feeling" without thinking of them :)



Here I am looking awesome in my tux!


Here's Charles cuttin' a rug at the reception. I was nearly sure that he was going to scare off his date, Cassandra. She proved me wrong by actually hanging out with us again. She deserves an award or something.


Back at Charles' place that night Marie got Charles angry. She had plenty of time to run away while he tried to get out of the Love Sac.


My best friend Molly is in Dahlgren, VA until mid-December and we've hung out nearly every weekend she's been in VA. These are pictures of our trip to Arlington National Cemetery.

Cub's Game in DC!

Last weekend, Uncle Mike came to visit. We went to an Orioles game up in Baltimore and went site seeing around DC. You would think I would be posting pictures from that weekend, but no. I managed to loose my camera about mid-day on Sunday of his visit (along with all my pictures). I ended up buying a new camera that afternoon, which was alright because I wanted a new one anyway. However, I wanted to save up for a nice SLR and not the newer version of my lost camera. Oh well!

Yesterday, Saturday, I went to the Cubs/Nationals game here in DC! It was soooooo much fun! I was worried at first though for two reasons:
1) I had two different winning streaks going before Saturday's game. I've never been to a Cub's game where they lost and I've also never been to a game where the home team has lost. I wasn't sure which streak would reign supreme.
2) I had never been to a Cub's game outside The Friendly Confines and I was worried it wouldn't be as fun.

Well, the Cub's won so that settled that. As for how fun it was, it was awesome! There were sooooooo many cub's fans. The section we sat in had virtually all cubs fans. There were high fives, "Let's go cubbies" chants, and of course heckling the Nats left fielder. The best part was that I got to take someone to her first Cub's game! Erin, a friend from work, came with me and put up with my yelling and heckling. It's always fun to get someone to their first cub's game.

Here are a few photos from the evening:

The Cub's W after the win!


Another W.


Cubs Win! Cubs Win! It wasn't quite the same with no "Go Cubs Go," but it was still an awesome game!
