I'll get to blogging regularly again. It just has not been a priority of mine lately. I apologize for any inconvenience or let down this has caused.

Seriously, I feel like I've been incredibly busy or just have not made it a priority. I've been blog-selfish too, in that I've been keeping up with all of the blogs I subscribe to but admitedly have not been adding to the mix.

Here's a quick list of what's been going on with B-Dub over the past couple of months:
- Getting ready for our Sudan mission trip in August
- Playing with our new pup Marley
- Meeting my newest nephew!
- Enjoying my new job
- Trying to keep up with yard work
- A couple of fishing trips to the coast
- Some good times with friends
- Seeing my life-long friend move to another city
- Attending a basketball officials camp
- Not working out enough and eating too much
- Not blogging

I'm sitting in Bennigan's in northwest San Antonio waiting for my ESRI training course to start back up.  Thought I would take advantage of the free wireless and rekindle my knack for monte cristo.  Oh my goodness!  Has anyone ever been able to throw one of these down without breaking out in grease sweats?  I should have tried to order the half order version like I used to.  Back in high school when I had a buddy that worked at Bennigan's in Tyler we would get our ticket "comp'd" which would usually result in half-price or free Death by Chocolate!  Man, this place is seriously good and seriously unhealthy.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are lawsuits from fat people unions across the country that pop up, kind of like the cigarette lawsuits in the late 90's.  I won't be a part of that, so I'll just use this blog here to coordinate my ranting. 

Jan and I are excited about the weekend coming up because her bro and sis-n-law are coming in and are brining their baby girl, whom I have not met yet.  Looking forward to some possible kayak time at Town Lake and a trip up 35 on Sunday to see the return of the attitude when Baylor plays against TCU.  It should be a fun game to watch as TCU is a top 25 team and Baylor is confident for the first time in a while.  Sic 'em.

I love Austin.  I love living in Austin.  Most of you who know me, know that.  Well, sometimes it is nice to have others agree with this sentiment.  Money Magazine voted Austin 2nd in Best Places to Live (Big Cities.)  To me, this seems like great news!  However, there's the other side of this that "let's the cat out of the bag."  Oh well, I think it's too late to keep too many people from discovering Austin and moving here.  I do wish there was something we could do to keep people from a certain other un-named state from buying up properties as investments.  But, then again, there's good and bad to that practice/phenomenon as well.  If we do ever move from here, it would be difficult to do so.  It's hard to duplicate such a cool city such as Austin!
