Life Update

I can't even remember where I left off on the actual "update" portion of things, so here it goes:
  • Travel for work in 2010 has been insane, I've not added up my miles yet but I've earned 2 free night from Hilton and solidified Hilton Gold Status for another year, so far I'm looking to be 8 short of Diamond, which makes me sad.
  • Summer is shaping up to be super busy, 10 year reunion, float trip, the Reyes/Uden wedding extravaganza ... all should be good times, but aren't going to leave a lot of time for grass to grow under our feet.
  • House is coming along nicely, we got a lot of "pretty" stuff to spruce the place up and add some colors so it feels a bit more like home now.
  • Aside from travel, work is going as well as can be expected.  Got a move of sorts, I'm now in a credit specialist career track, not a lot will change job-wise, but I'll get to collaborate more regularly with a great group of really smart people so that's always nice..
  • Heading back to school in August, Graduate School of Banking at the University of Wisconsin... should be interesting to say the least.
  • Eyeball deep in Harry Potter, as I've mentioned.  I'm reading every spare chance I get, about 2/3 through book 6 and then on to the grand finale.  It will be bittersweet though, cause I'm really not sure what I'm going to read next, I've determined series are the way to go, so any suggestions I'm open to them.
  • Puppies are good, kinda stubborn still but good - I think they're progressing along pretty well considering they're only 5 mo. old.  Both are getting big, I'm kind of nervous/excited because based on the size of his head and paws I think Mr. Dublin is going to be a giant.  Good thing he's the calm cuddler of the group and not the spaz.
Well... sure I missed loads of stuff, but this'll do for now.

A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin...awesome...it's not done yet, and he writes bloody slow as heck, but it's awesome.

The Belgariad by David Eddings is also great.
