A Really Long Update, Part I

A lot has happened in the past few months, especially the last couple weeks. I should probably just make small updates more frequently, but that's not how I seem to do things. Here goes.

Well, it turns out that there actually were unsafe concentration levels of radon in the basement. Whoops. Well, we got all the cracks sealed, so everything should be fine now.

First the really huge news: Abee and I are expecting our first child next spring! We've been wanting to start having kids for a while now, but have been holding off until I could get a stable job. Well, I have the stable job now, and despite our current living situation, we decided to go for it. Here's the first picture, taken about 3 weeks ago:

That's the biggest news. Now for an update on the condo: It hasn't sold yet. Oh well. Life goes on.

Last fall I went to the Purdue homecoming football game with Abee's family. It was nice to be back at Purdue, especially in the fall, since at the time we were still living in Florida. I liked it so much that we decided to go to a game this year, and see if we could get some of our friends from college flown in using my travel benefits. My two roommates live out in San Francisco now, and they were unable to come. We ended up with one friend from Atlantic City making it over, and a few others who are still living in Indiana. We had a great time and Purdue won. Here are some pictures from that weekend. I should warn you; it turns out I can't take very straight pictures:

People filtering into the stadium with Purdue's "World's Largest Drum" leading the way.


The stadium is filling up. That nice new press box section wasn't there when I was going to school here.


The team takes the field.


The final score: Purdue 31, Iowa 6


The band puts on a concert in the Engineering Mall after the game.


Abee (in the pink hat) and our friends hanging out at the mall.


Abee and I at the mall.


The Purdue Bell Tower rising out of some nice fall foliage.


The fountain and Hovde Hall on the mall.


A nice (but crooked) picture of the mall with the bell tower in the background.

Well, it looks like that's all I have time to write right now. I'm in Cleveland and have to get ready to go to work. A lot more has happened though. Hopefully I will get to part 2 before the end of the week. Take care!
