Well my IP address changed for the first time since I moved out here to KC, at least I think so. I don’t remember it changing any other time. Anyway, that caused downtime for all of my sites, since they are all still hosted on my home PC. Sorry about that…

We went to our first golf lesson last night. 2 hours of hitting balls, how exciting! Actually the instructor that is helping us out is really good, and by the end of the night I was hitting the ball longer and straighter than I ever have. That is quite a feat, especially since we were only using irons, something that I don’t think I’ve ever hit well. I’m talking like I’ve golfed a bunch, when in actuality I’ve only done it twice in my life. I did get a blister and that is hurting real bad today, but I actually enjoyed the time at the range last night. I think Kim is already planning for us to go to a range on our on Sunday. Hopefully I can remember everything I learned…

So the weekend was another fun one in Cincinnati! Kim and I drove straight from work and got into town at 2:30 in the morning, and immediately went to sleep. We then hung around my parents house for awhile on Saturday, and later on went to her friend Julie’s new place. This was my first exposure to the cicadas since they aren’t at my parents house. These things really gross me out, they are HUGE and dumb. They can hardly fly and often end up running into everything. I have some close up pictures of them to put up here eventually. After attempting to avoid them for what seemed like hours, we headed over to Kim’s parents place. We were going to take her brother Jason down to the Taste of Cincinnati along with a few of his friends. We had a couple hotel rooms downtown so we could enjoy the festivities without having to drive around. We all had a great time down there, and met up with a bunch of people. The Rusty Griswolds were great as always!

Sunday Kim and I visited her brother Michael for a little while and then headed back out to my parents house for the graduation party. Good time at the party for sure. I got to see a bunch of the family as well as meet some of Tim’s buddies. I even convinced my buddies Jon and Ken to come over. We ended up drinking beers and chatting until 3 AM. Always good times with them.

Yesterday we drove home of course. We did get to stop and see Kim’s sister Bobbi’s new apartment. It is really nice, well much better than my old place near school. The cicadas were all over Clifton though too, so I tried to stay inside.

This week I think we are going to be working out at Woodside a bunch as well as starting some golf lessons. The Hemmelgarns gave me an old set of clubs to use, so big thanks to them!!!

I’ll get some pictures up later today hopefully…
