I am definitely seeing the hospital a little too much!

Fun Day

I had a fun day with Whitney & Emily today. I don't really need to say anymore...whenever we get together we always have a great time. Our stops included Babies R Us, Half Price Books, Once Upon a Child & Kid to Kid.

Katie kept pointing to Colin saying 'baby", Emily was yelling at Caroline to come out, Whitney was arguing with medical people on the phone, Colin was all smiles, and I was on a shopping frenzy! Great times!

Speaking of shopping...the point of the trip was to buy Colin a walker. I researched them and bought one from Babies R Us, but I think that it only moves forwards and backwards...weird! I may be taking it back...

No Pacifier!

I am so happy! Colin went all day without his pacifier for the first time today. From the minute he woke up, until he went to bed tonight, he didn't suck on his pacifier at all! Yay! I'm hoping that we can use this time to break him of it completely.

Update on My Mom

Another update on my mom...

First of all, thank you to everyone who has been praying for her. I KNOW prayer works!

Her surgery was scheduled for 9:00 yesterday morning, but they took her at 8:00. I was at work, and freaking out, and realized that I wasn't on the schedule anyway. Someone made a mistake...and it wasn't me! So, I left work at 10:00 and went straight to the hospital. The doctor called me at 10:45, to tell me how the surgery went. I got to the hospital a few minutes later, and my mom was in the recovery room. It's funny what people say when they are under anesthesia!

So now the update...

My mom went through the surgery very well! She has about a 4-5 inch incision in the crease of her arm. Her arm is very swollen and red. They pulled a very large blood clot out of her arm. The said it was an "extensive" surgery.

She's doing well, and in good spirits. It helps that people are visiting her and calling. It really shows that they care. Her incision is hurting, but that's to be expected after surgery. She'll definitely be in the hospital until tomorrow, and maybe even Wednesday.

I hate thinking about what could have happened if she hadn't gone back to the hospital when she did, but I know God had a lot to do with it. I thank you all again for your prayers. They worked, once again!

More Prayers...PLEASE!

Ok, so my mom came home form the hospital on Tuesday after having her cardiac catheterization on Monday. They did it through her wrist. She was having pain, but thought that it was normal. Well, the pain hasn't gotten any better, in fact, it's gotten worse over the past few days. I've been telling her to get it checked out, but once again, she didn't listen to me. I'm an ER nurse damnit! I see this all the time! Listen to me!
Anyway, she finally went back to to ER this afternoon, having her doctor told her to, and it turns out that she has a HUGE clot in her arm where they did the catheterization. The clot is from her wrist to her elbow. This is very scary, b/c if any piece of the clot breaks off, it will go straight to her lungs, and she would probably die of a PE (pulmonary embolus). Normally, once they find the clot, they give you "clot busters" to break up the clot, or dissolve it...but her clot is too big for that. So, she is having surgery tomorrow morning around 9:00. She's very nervous, b/c they are putting her completely out, and she will probably go to the ICU after the surgery.
To make things worse, I can't be there b/c I'm working tomorrow. I took off last Sunday & Monday, so I can't take off tomorrow. I'm really nervous for her, but I know the power of prayer...so PLEASE say a prayer tonight and a quick prayer for her tomorrow morning. I TRULY appreciate it!

Emily's Baby Shower

I had such a good time at Emily's baby shower today! It was at Anamia's Mexican Restaurant in Coppell. Emily got lots of cute things for baby Caroline! I took a ton of pictures that are posted on my smugmug! I can't wait to meet Caroline!

Official Offer

I got my official offer today from Medical Center of McKinney. I accepted. Now I just have to decide if I want to be part-time status or PRN. PRN pays more, and you work as little or as much as you want. Part-time offers health benefits...which will probably be cheaper than Miguel's coverage...but I would have to work a minumum of 20 hours per week. Yuck. We'll see. I'll let you know what I decide to go with.

Update on My Mom

I brought my mom home from the hospital today. She is doing much better. She still has the chest tightness, but no more pain.

In a nutshell, the results of the heart catheterization were fantastic! No blockages! Praise God! They went in through her wrist, and that caused a lot of pain, so she stayed 1 more night last night. Her poor arm is hard, swollen and bruised.

She isn't in the greatest of health. While in the hospital, she found out that her thyroid is out of whack again, her cholesterol is high, blood pressure is high, and she is now a type II diabetic. All but the thyroid can be controlled by diet and excercise...basically lifestyle changes that she would have to make, but until then, she had medication to help get things under control.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. I know they were the reason that she ended up not having a heart attack. I ask for your continued prayers for her...for continued recovery, and a willingness to change her lifestyle. Thank you!

Quest for the Truth

So here starts a long post. Brace yourself if you plan on reading the whole thing.

This topic is one that I have been thinking about for a while now, and just haven't gottten around to actually posting about it, but after recent reads, and a commitment to getting it done, here it is.

For quite some time I haven't been happy at our church. I can't really pinpoint what it is that is bothering me, or that isn't right, but I just don't feel like it's the place for me anymore. I blame our church, but really, I think it's me. I think that I'm not happy with my walk with Christ and my relationship (or lack thereof) with God. Wow, did I just say His name? I'm even back at the point that I feel funny saying Jesus or God. What a scary realization.

Anyway, my new quest is to regain that relationship that I once knew and felt. I'm not really sure how to do it or where to start, but I do know a few fundamental truths:

1. I believe in a supreme being, namely God
2. I believe that the Godhead is 3 beings that act as 1, and that all 3 are God
3. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God
4. I believe that Jesus came to Earth, lived a sinless life, and died...for me
5. I believe that Jesus' death on the cross is sufficient for my salvation...if I accept that wonderful gift

Now here is where the "problem" comes in. I would love to visit other churches (inside & outside of the SDA church). Visiting other SDA churches isn't going to be a problem, but churches outside of the SDA church will be. Here's why:

I believe that the 7th day is the Sabbath. The 7th day is Saturday. I can't justify to myself worshiping on Sunday if I know Saturday is the true Sabbath.

The 4th commandment (Exodus 20:8-11) states: (NASB)

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

So that really limits the number of churches that I can visit. I'm sure that there are some really great Sunday worshiping churches out there, but I can't get past the Sunday worshiping part, so I'll never visit them. It stinks.

I'm searching for the truth. I'm not saying that the SDA church has it...but whoever does, that's where I want to be. In my search, I've decided to contact the pastors or ministers of several local churches of different denominations. I want to know their explanation of the 4th commandment, and why they worship on Sunday. I really hope that they give me a response.

While I wait for answers, I'll be researching churches to visit, and studying my Bible, and hopefully I'll find a new "home". Maybe it will be the church that I've been at for the past 5 years, or maybe it will be a new one...but it has to teach the truth.

I welcome comments, thoughts, & questions. Thanks for taking the time to read.

7 Months Old

Colin is 7 months old today. I know I say it every month, but I still feel I had him just yesterday...and to think that he's almost a toddler! I can't believe it! Time flies. He's learning so much every day, and we see him doing something new every day. It just amazes us. He's such a blessing in our lives!

Baby Dedication

Today we went to Robert Clark's and Emma, Madison & Kaetlyn Kolb's baby/child dedication. It's always such a blessing to see children dedicated to the Lord and parents commiting to raise their children that way. After the church service, we went to Doug's parents house for a luncheon. After eating good food and yummy cake that Lisa made, and tons of pictures later, we left for home. You can see the rest of the pictures on my smugmug.

Sabbath at the Dallas Arboretum

Our family spent Sabbath at the Dallas Arboretum to see the "Dallas Blooms" exhibit. We had a nice picnic, and took some great pictures. The rest of the photos are on my smugmug!

Please Pray for My Mom

My mom could definitely use some prayers right now...

She's in the hospital. She went to the ER at 9:30 this moring for chest pain. She had been having chest pain since last Saturday and I've been telling her to go get checked out, but she doesn't listen to me. Anyway, she went to work this morning with the chest pain, and while at work got extremely diaphoretic (sweaty) and her blood pressure shot through the roof, along with the chest pain. They had someone drive her to the ER, where I met her.

They ran her cardiac enzymes, did an EKG, chest x-ray, and a bunch of other blood work. Everything came back ok, thank God, but they wanted to keep her to watch her overnight and to draw more enzymes later on.

The cardiologist saw her and made her do a stress test...which she didn't do so well on, so he wants her to stay in the hospital until Monday. On Monday he is going to do a cardiac catheterization.

My mom is a typical nurse...a person who takes care of everyone else, but not herself. She doesn't want to stay in the hospital, doesn't want the catheterization, and probably isn't willing to change her lifestyle.

She had a scare today. She could have had a massive heart attack and died. Hopefully this will be her wake up call to change her lifestyle for the better. Please pray that God works in her, and changes her heart to want better for herself. Thank you.

So I Got a New Job

Well, I applied for a PRN ER RN position at Medical Center of McKinney about 1 1/2 months ago, and hadn't heard back from them...until Monday. I set up an interview for this morning with the nurse recruiter and with the ER Nurse Manager. My interview was at 10:00 this morning. By the end of the interview, the nurse manager told me that she really likes me and would love for me to work with them. By 2:00, they were already running my background check, and they told me that by Monday afternoon they will give me the official offer.

I'm excited and happy that I got the job, but I'm sad to leave my current job. I actually love my current job, and the people that I work with...but the commute has finally started getting to me (after 2 1/2 years). It seems like the new job is better all around...closer and pays more...I guess I should be a little more excited than I am. I thank God for the blessing of my career and this new job, but I can't help but to feel sad about leaving good 'ol ghetto Charlton Methodist.

My Little Colin

So, my little Colin isn't so little anymore. He's starting to look like a toddler, and that scares me! He's such a ham for the camera...every time he sees it, he starts making different poses.

Great Visit

I had a great visit with my cousin Patty the past few days. We have always been pretty close even though we don't talk that often and hadn't seen each other in 5 years. I was a little nervous about how things would turn out, b/c people change so much in 5 years...especially during the ages of 18-24. There wasn't any weirdness, and I feel like we picked up right where we left off. We had a great time seeing the Grapevine outlets, Stonebriar Center, getting lost in downtown Dallas, and eating Dicky's, Chipotle, Scotty P's & Sambuca...none of which are in NY. I was sad to see her go, but really enjoyed the time we got to spend together and I hope that we can do it again sometime soon!

Patty's Visit

Patty and I went to the Grapevine outlets and downtown Dallas yesterday. When Miguel got home from work we ate at Scotty P's for dinner. I am having so much fun with Patty!

Whoo-hoo!

Off to the airport I go (in 30 minutes)!

Patty's Coming Tomorrow!

I am so excited! I haven't seen my cousin Patty since my wedding 5 1/2 years ago! Patty is coming to spend a few days with us. It's her first time to Texas, and I'm excited to show her around!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Colin wanted to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day...I know, I know, we are a day late, but we didn't have our traditional corned beef, cabbage & potato dinner until today.

New Look

Ok, so I figured that I would jump on the bandwagon and change up my blog. I've been wanting to do it for a while, but never got around to it. Thank you Bonnie & Emily for making your pages so nice that I had to get rid of my crappy layout! Let me know what you think, and if there is anything that needs fixing!

Colin's 6 Month Portrait

I just got Colin's 6 month portraits back. Isn't he adorable? The rest of the poses are posted on smugmug.

Colin

I just wanted to share a photo thaat I took of Colin today. His eyes are so striking!

Day at the Park

Miguel, Colin and I went to the park in our neighborhood today. It was Colin's first time at the park, and he enjoyed swinging in the swing! He also went down the slide (on mommy's lap). More pictures are posted on smugmug.

Poor Baby Girl

Poor Rachael just can't seem to get a break. First she got pink eye. It cleared up, then a week later she got pink eye again...but this time in both eyes. That cleared up. Today, Courtney took her to the doctor, and she had a pretty bad ear infection. My poor poor neice.

Colin's 6 Month Appointment

Colin had his 6 month check-up today. Everything is going great. He weighs 17lbs. 14oz. (50-75th percentile), and is 27 inches long (75-90th percentile). What a tall baby! The doctor was impressed with his social skills. He's doing great with his leg muscles and standing. We took Colin off of his reflux medicine almost a month ago, and Colin is tolerating well without it. He got 3 shots today, so he was a little fussy for the rest of the day, and he ran a low-grade fever tonight. Other than that, he's doing great. He's just moved into 6-9 month size clothing. He's getting so big! He'll be walking and talking before we know it!

My Baby is Standing!

I can't believe it, but Colin is standing! I wanted to see if he could do it, and he did! He can't balance by himself yet, but he holds on to furniture and stands for a couple minutes! My big boy!

On another note, I took Colin for his 6 month pictures today, and they turned out very cute! As soon as I get them back, I'll scan them and upload them.

Colin has his 6 month month appointment tomorrow, so I'll post about that.

6 Months Old

My precious baby is 6 months old! I feel like I was in labor with him just yesterday. He's growing and changing every day. It's amazing!

9 Years

Today Miguel & I have been together for 9 years! So much has happened in that time...I graduated from high school, we both graduated from college, got married, and bought a house, and had a baby!

My life is so perfect. I love you Miguel, and thank God for you every day!

Happy Birthday Katie, Valerie & Emma!

I just want to wish Katie, Valerie & Emma a very happy birthday!

My Birthday Party

Last night Miguel organized a small get together of family and a few close friends to celebrate my birthday. I had so much fun, and everyone really made me feel special. This was my first nirthday as a mommy, and it was a very memorable one. Thank you to everyone who called, e-mailed, myspace commented, and celebrated with me!

Colin Had His Face Painted

Colin had his face painted at Kaylee's birthday party yesterday! He had so much fun turning into a baby clown!

Happy Valentine's Day

Colin would like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! He's enjoying his first one. He decided to pose for a few pictures in his Valentine's Day outfit. The rest can be found on smugmug.

Who's Not Watching the Superbowl?

ME! Why, you ask? Because I'll be working. I forgot to request off. Kind of sucks. Last year I called into work and had a superbowl party instead. So while Colin is enjoying his very first superbowl party with his papi, I'll be working. Yay for me.

A Pretty Picture

I took a few pictures of out house yesterday when it was snowing. Not quite a wintery wonderland, but 1/8 of an inch still counts as snow!

I've Figured Out the Secret...

To getting Colin to eat peas! He ate carrots for the first time the other day, and I decided to mix the peas with the carrots...because you always see peas & carrots together. Colin ate them...in fact, he ate them all and he didn't even make the "disgusted pea face!" That was Monday. I did the same thing again yesterday, and he ate them again. Today was day 3, and he ate them again! We hae a little veggie eater on our hands! Colin loves carrots & sweet potatoes. Today he tried applesauce for the first time, and ate the entire jar in record time! He's such a good eater!

Update on Solid Foods

So far Colin has had rice cereal - which he loves, oatmeal - which he loves, green beans - which he loves, sweet potatoes - which he lovees, squash - which he likes, and peas - which he HATES. It's really cute giving him the peas because he makes this face - like he's completely disgusted, then he swallows, then he starts to cry. But hey, 3 out of 4 veggies so far isn't that bad! Who likes peas anyway?

So the picture had nothing to do with him eating, I just thought it was cute and wanted to post it!

My Baby is 5 Months Old!

I can't believe it, but my baby is 5 months old! It feels like just yesterday he entered the world, and today he's 5 months old? Where does the time go? His little personality is starting to show, and I know he is going to be the most sweet, angelic, kind little boy in the world! I can't wait to see him develop even more!

I've uploaded some new photos that I took of Colin today into the 5-6 Month folder on SmugMug.

Colin's First Green Beans

Colin tried his first jar of green beans today. He ate the entire jar and was looking for more. I snapped a few photos...I think he likes them! The rest of the photos can be found on my smugmug site.

Blah to Dreary Days

I hate the weather this past week. It's been horrible. Isn't Texas supposed to have hot sunny days? Even in the winter! If I wanted this kind of weather, I'd be back in NY...but it may even be nicer up there right now. Blah.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

I feel blah. These days are depressing. Blah.

Well, back to the real world. I must go rescue my son from the pinatas that have invaded his room. I hear them squealing...

Games, Games, & More Games!

So I seem to go through phases in which I am totally obsessed with something...usually a game of some sort. For the past couple of years it was Halo 2. I would play on XBOX Live day & night. I would stay up literally all night and go to work or school the next day. After I graduated from college, it seemed like I was so busy that I pretty much stopped playing altogether.

After Halo 2 came World of Warcraft on my computer. This one Miguel had been playing for about a year before I finally started playing...but once I started, I couldn't stop. I played non-stop for hours on end. I started to get a little tired of this one shortly after Colin was born. I didn't really have too much time to dedicate to playing, so I cancelled my account.

I've recently started playing the WoW Trading Card Game. I don't play that one as much because it is a one on one game, and only a few other family members are playing right now...but I do like it.

For the first time in well over a year, I played Halo 2 with Ashley last night...for over an hour. It was as much fun as I remember. Since Ashley's classes were cancelled today due to the weather, we played again for a couple of hours. I think I could get into playing all over again. HALO!

Safe Trip Home

I worked yesterday, all day long. The drive there in the morning was fine. The roads were great. That was a different story last night during my drive home. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get home. The roads weren't that bad...except for the bridges. Every single bridge had ice on it! I must have passed 15+ accidents. Once I got into the Allen/McKinney area, the roads got pretty bad. Praise God that I made it home safely to Miguel and my baby boy!

1 Year Ago...Today

Exactly 1 year ago today, while Miguel and I were in Denmark, we found out that we were expecting Colin. I had been so sick and Miguel insisted that I take a pregnancy test. I never even imagined that I was pregnant. I was completely shocked to see 2 lines!

Both of us have gone through so many changes in the past year...some good, some bad...but life is good. We have Colin, and our family is complete. God blesses us so much everyday!

Wow! Don't I look different there?

Colin's Carseat

I just wanted to post a picture of Colin sitting in his new car seat. He looks so tiny in it!

New Car Seat

Colin's new car seat arrived today. I am so excited about it! He hates his infant car seat because he's getting so big. The Britax Marathon is so big. Colin will disappear in it. I'm going to try to install it tomorrow, and I'll post pictures of Colin in the car seat.

Yearly Review

Yesterday I had to go to work for a little while to have my yearly review done. It was way past due...due back in October. Anyway, praise God, it was good. It was really good. It's always nice to have someone, especially your boss, tell you that they appreciate the job that you do.

They've set some goals for me this year; leveling up from a Level 1 RN to a Level 2 RN, becoming a charge nurse (which I am MOST excited about), and becoming a Team Leader for a new process that hasn't started yet. Yay!

Since I had to drive all the way down there and back, I asked my mom to babysit Colin for a while so I could stay and work for a little while. I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. I think that I'm going to start picking up more shifts here and there when I can get a sitter.

Safe New Year's Eve

I just wanted to wish everyone a safe New Year's Eve tonight. Miguel and I are starting our night out at Bonnie & Chris' house and ending it at his mom's house.

Have fun and be safe...I don't want to be taking care of you in the ER tomorrow!

Kaetlyn

I finally got my pictures uploaded of baby Kaetlyn. Isn't she a cutie?

4 Month Appointment

Colin had his 4 month check-up today. He is very healthy. He weighs 15 lbs. 10 oz. (75th-90th percentile) and is 25.5 inches long (95th percentile). The doctor said that he is a tall baby! He got 4 shots today, so he's been a little sleepy & cranky, but other than that, he's great! We'll be starting solids - starting with cereal, and adding baby food in 6 weeks. I'll keep you updated to the solid food progress!

Speaking of Colin being a tall baby, we have been in the process of looking for a convertible carseat for him b/c he doesn't seem very comfortable in his infant car seat anymore. He used to love being in it, but now he cries every time we put him in it. Our infant car seat will hold a baby up to 25 pounds or 27 inches. Colin is quickly approaching the 27 inch mark. I had seen an open box Britax Marathon on sale at Babies R Us for $229 (originally $270). It had been there since before Thanksgiving, and was there last week when I went. So I drove over there today to finally buy it, and, of course, it wasn't there anymore. I was upset that we had missed out on the deal. I went home and searched ebay. I think the carseat not being there anymore was a blessing in disguise b/c I found one on ebay for $182. I placed at bid, and 20 minutes later I was winner of a brand new Britax Marathon! It ended up coming out to $207 with shipping, but the price with shipping was still better than the open box sale at BRU! I can't wait to get it! I'm so excited about it! The things that a mother gets excited about!

A New Kolb

Kaetlyn was born a little while ago! We can't wait to meet her. Congratulations Chris & Casey!

Done. Simple. Better?

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all of my faithful blogger readers! I hope that you have as blessed of a Christmas as I have had!

Colin was my best gift ever this year! He enjoyed his first Christmas even though he had no idea what was really going on...he just knew that he was getting a lot of attention!

Miguel got an XBOX 360, some DVD's, CD's etc. I got the Kitchen Aid Mixer that I've wanted for a few years now, some DVD's, etc. Colin made out like a bandit! He got tons of toys, DVD's, CD's, clothes, etc!

But best of all, we spent the holiday with family. First we went to my mom's house. We ate a traditional American Christmas dinner, and then opened gifts. After that we went to Miguel's mom's house. We ate a traditional Puerto Rican Christmas dinner, danced, opened gifts, danced some more, and then played some games. It was a long day and a late night, but we had such a great time!

Happy Birthday Courtney!

Happy 22nd birthday Courtney! Enjoy your first birthday as a mommy!

Christmas Party

We had so much fun at the Christmas party last night! I ended up wearing a pair of heels that I had. The dress wasn't too short. I wore jewelry that I had, and I did my own hair. It turned out very nice. Miguel won one of the door prizes which was a night in the hotel that the party was at. We can't wait to use it!

We had dinner with friends, danced and just really enjoyed our time out!

Formal Christmas Party Tonight

Tonight Miguel and I are going to a formal Christmas party. I'm wearing a Jessica McClintock dress, but I'm a little disappointed because I couldn't find any gloves to wear. Well, I found some, but they were either light pink or sea green...and my dress is black & white. I don't know what I'm going to do with my hair, what jewelry I'm going to wear, or what shoes I'm going to wear. I bought a pair of flat shoes, but they don't look quite right. I can't really wear a heel b/c the dress would be a little short, and I can't find a flat shoes that looks good with the dress. This could turn out to be a disaster, but hopefully we'll have fun. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Ladies & Gentlemen, We Have A...

SLEEPER!

We've been working on getting Colin to sleep throught the night without crying for the past 3 nights. The first night was pretty bad. The second night, Colin did good.

But...(drum roll please), last night Colin slept all night without waking up! I put him down after his 10:00 feeding, and he didn't wake up until 6:40 this morning!

We are so excited, and hope that this will stick!

Colin on Tummy

I know that I posted about finding Colin on his tummy in the middle of the night the other night, but when I went into his room yesterday morning, I found him on his tummy and just had to post the pictures that I took!

A New Milestone

I went into Colin's room to get him at 6:00 this morning, and when I turned on the light, I found him on his belly!

He been working on it for a little while now. He'd roll to his side, and make almost all the way over, but not quite. I'm so excited that he's starting to roll over, but I don't want him sleeping on his tummy.

Baby Robert Clark

Isn't baby Robert just adorable? We got to go to the hospital for a little while today to visit with the Clarks.

I can't believe how much like William he looks! I actually called him William by mistake! 

A New Clark Has Arrived!

Congratulations Doug & Lisa! Baby boy Clark, now known as Robert Douglas made his wonderful entrance into the world at around 8:00 this morning. We will be visiting either later today or tomorrow, so I'll have pictures to post then!

Family Christmas Portraits

I just got tons of pictures yesterday! we had our first set of family Christmas portraits taken. Colin wasn't a happy camper that day, so you won't see him smiling. The rest are on my smugmug site. 

3 Month Portrait

I got Colin's 3 month portraits yesterday. This pose is my favorite! He's just so cute. The other poses can be found on my smugmug site. 

Newborn

I finally ordered 1 of Colin's newborn pictures. I just got it yesterday. I can't believe that was my baby Colin just 3 short months ago. He's changed so much! 

Smugmug Frenzy

I have been on a photo uploading smugmug frenzy the past couple of days. Most of the pictures that I've been uploading won't interest very many people as most of them date back. I think I'm almost all the way back to 2001. Nonetheless, if you get bored, there are tons and tons (over 3500) of pictures on my smugmug site, to look through!
