Happy Holidays friends.

This year is coming to a close, and so I will do my year in review. Before digging into the awesomeness/crappiness of 2009, let's chat about Christmas shall we? I got some sweet ass Pumas for Christmas, along with some other things. I also took Jaime on a CHRISTMASSURPRISE (argh). Christmas Eve, we had a few friends over to play board games. I think Jay loved Apples-to-Apples. It was fun and low key. However, after dinner, Jaime & I opened our stocking. I surprised Jaime with a trip to see Pop MTLI and other family in Maryland. It was a short trip, but fun. Sherlock Holmes was pretty bad ass. 

Year In Review

Good: Jaime and I got engaged. Yes, I'm sure you have heard all about it, or read about it on jaimeandrene.com. Still, it is the biggest news because it is awesome, and we plan on being married longer than the sun being hot. We are excited!

Bad: My stupid ruptured patellar tendon. I'm still feeling the wraith of that kickball accident.

Improv: I bought into ComedySportz. Since that glorious day, I must have been to 100 meetings. We meet a lot, but there are good changes coming out. It just takes some time to implement them. 2010 will be no different I'm sure.

Sports: The Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl (again). This is so awesome. We got one for the other thumb.

Nerdery: When injured, I became achievement addicted, and completed many XBox games. I also DMed a small campaign, loosely based on a quest in Avlis to some D&D noobs. This was fun. 

Places Visited: Chapel Hill, Milwaukee, and Richmond for Improv Festivals. London for vacation. Florida for Jaime's family. San Francisco for being an uber JIRA and Confluence nerd, erm...work.

There were some crappy things, but being with Jaime makes it all worth it. 2009...a good year.
