Mackenzie and I planned on moving in November to begin her Chiropractic schooling. We have debated between Davenport IA, San Jose CA, Port Orange FL, and now Dallas TX for a while.
This week Mackenzie was offered a one-time scholarship award to attend Parker School of Chiropractic in Dallas TX in May rather than wait until January 2010. Needless to say we are in panic mode trying to figure out how we will make everything work.
Parker's campus is located 12 miles from Raytheon IIS in Garland TX and I'm working with my company to get a transfer. No plans are solidified yet but they are working hard for me and I appreciate it. With any luck I will complete my tasking in Omaha around the same time Mackenzie's classes start.
We are anxiously awaiting the move. Neither of us have lived outside of Omaha in our adult lives and it will be nice to start our new life together in a fresh environment!
Mackenzie and I have been enjoying a relaxing winter around the house. We've kept Netflix moving (Pineapple Express, Burn After Reading, Raging Bull, Animal House, and more..) and we watch Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on Monday nights. We're also anxiously awaiting Season 5 of the Office on DVD.
Remember when Gilbert was tiny?
He is twice that size now! 14 pounds and counting. He hasn't been groomed yet so he's a hairy little guy and he loves the snow. Mackenzie has pictures of him running through 7 inches of powder that dropped on Friday.
Mackenzie and I booked flights and a hotel for Las Vegas in the middle of March. I'm saving up money for the Blackjack tables now. At the end of May I'll be going to Washington D.C. and soon after that we will be going on a cruise for our delayed honeymoon.
Last but not least I'm still working on the beer collection:
The main goal is to visit as many breweries as possible and grab a pint glass where available. The current glass collection doesn't go beyond Kansas City, but stay tuned after this year's vacations. I'm also planning on adding a beer list to the site.. if you have any suggestions please feel free to email me - I prefer a good IPA.
