its been a while since my last post but unfortunately i can't blame work for keeping me away - for those of you familiar with the concept of billable hours, i'm sure you will understand that 50 billable hours so far this year is not going to be sustainable. i think it is seriously time to look for a new job.....
but in the mean time, i've been keeping 'busy' studying chinese. this website is actually really, really good and you can test your knowledge of chinese characters. i'm still at around 500 but slowly improving.
last weekend was good and rather eventful - on saturday, i went snowboarding at mountain creek. it was ok considering the temperature (around 50 F). i was able to work on some tricks in the terrain park and hit some big jumps - nothing like the jumps that were made at snowscrapers (which we checked out live last thursday)
on sunday i finally made it out to randall island driving range - its so convenient to have a car and i'm sure thankful for it (even though there is something seriously wrong with the fuel tank but which i hope to fix shortly). hopefully my self repair will go slightly better than my fix of the dent in the roof using the "ding king" - check out this video to see it in action. i think it the product is 'ok' and i think my repair made the dent slightly better but rebekah disagrees... oh well
speaking of golf, i am really excited about this upcoming season - now that we have a car, i can make it out to the courses much more often and conveniently. i hope to enter a few tournaments this summer and will you all posted.
finally, climbing has been going ok - i still haven't send any of my projects at the gym but am getting close - i did do a new roof climb (11+) second go last week so that nice.
oh yeah - "should we find out if our baby is going to be a boy or girl" - i think we should; rebekah disagrees (sense a theme?). perhaps if you are reading this, you can let me know what you think
Sam, I saw a baby story once where the husband knew what was coming but the wife didn't want to know and so he had kept the secret for the whole time...
ReplyDeleteIt was a little awkward, he knew what was going on inside her and she didn't.
Keep the first one a surprise, but like I told Glen, the baby is the surprise, not the gender.
I asked the tech what our #2 was and she told me the baby was crossing it's legs.
Next time, I'm going to find out for sure. But the first time, let it be a surprise. From what I hear that's so novel in the states, they often find out.
Tell your gal to call me when she can muster the energy.
Love to you both,
Bri
