I have been quite a slacker blogger as it’s been, um, forever since I last posted. I am going to attempt to keep up better so people actually want to check in 
A few things have happened since I last posted in July of 2008. Below is a summary:
- Started a new job at a company called Pegasus Planning, it was a great job and I learned a ton, I was a project manager for the economic and land development company
- I took a month off in between jobs and went home to Terre Haute, Indiana
- During my month off I also got to visit Peru (the country Peru not Peru, Indiana), I hiked/biked to Manchu Picchu, went white water rafting, 4-wheeling, and took in the culture, awesome trip
- Had a two week vacation over Christmas and spent quality time with family and friends in Terre Haute, Indiana, I love Christmas!
- I was laid off from my relatively new job on January 31st, 2009 (still looking for a new job)
- Took advantage of the free time I had by taking a trip to Australia, I got back a week ago (March 2009), it was sooo fun, I could have stayed! Highlights were seeing the opera “Madame Butterfly” at the Sydney Opera House and taking a scuba diving course in Cairns and doing a 3 day live on board scuba diving trip on the Great Barrier Reef
Since getting back from Australia I have been spending a lot of time organizing an event at my church called “Serve Austin”, we are hoping to set up projects at 25 non-profits in Austin, TX and have about 600 volunteers from our church go out on May 2nd & 3rd to serve the Austin community. It’s a great project but a lot of work, fortunately I have some great people helping me. I am also seriously contemplating taking a job teaching English at a university in China.
I have posted a lot of new photos on my “smugmug” photo website, the link is in the links section of this blog, check ‘em out. I have also updated my “life goals” page since I’ve accomplished a few more of those in the last several months. Thanks for checking in
