What did you do at work today? Me? Well... I re-designed the lighting for a "Toys 'R Us" store in the Chicago area. Yep.. I spent my day wondering what a toy store would look like with new lighting. Pretty cool huh? :-)
The city of Oakdale now views our deck construction as a "completed project." We raised our hand rails on the stairs to pass inspection and with one quick measurement, we passed and got the project signed off by the inspector. All that is left to do now is secure the posts on the stairs for a more secured railing system and we should be all set! Its good to have that big project finished. This weekend we're hoping to finish up some of the little projects inside the house. Should be a fun weekend!
Kelsey and I got our engagement pictures' website and picked out our favorites. If you want to take a look at them go here: www.pictage.com/556179 and see what you think!
I'm hoping to get one last round of golf in before it gets too cold. Then I can clean my clubs one last time for the season and put them away. It was a good summer for golf. I was glad to get out as much as I did. I improved a lot and really got better in different areas. Hopefully I can continue that next year!
I'm studying for a big test I have to take to get "Lighting Certified." Knowing how well I did on tests in school I think I better study a little harder than I used to. :-)
Other than that... just another day in the life.
Ho K Peace out.

A commanding lead? Hell no!
Oh brother... Oh brother.... when will you ever learn? You always poked the bear, and when you did, you ended up crying to our mother. :-) Don't claim you're in the lead. I can catch up like no other! (Now that I finally have a few moments to myself.
Work is going well. Its becoming a bit hectic around here, and that is a good thing. Projects are falling into my lap and I'm trying to run with them the best that I can. I will have my 3 years working for EMC date on Nov. 1st. That is the same day I take a certification test to become "Lighting Certified." We'll see how that goes. A whole month of studying should be enough to get ready for it. Cross your fingers!
Fantasy Football... well.... I'm not doing so good. Big Ben hasn't been that stellar and I've made some poor coaching decisions, which ultimately attributes to my 1-3 start. Hopefully I will be able to turn that around. This week I am up against Rich. Blood will fly this weekend!
Our deck is "complete." We did not pass our first final inspection, so we had to make a few adjustments. The inspector will be back next week to take another look at it and hopefully this time we will pass. The deck still needs a lot of fine tuning, and I'm not sure when we will get to that. Hopefully sooner than later.
The good news is that the back yard is looking more like how we want it to. The sod took very well to the back corner of the yard and I could not be happier with how it looks. I'm also looking forward to this winter by turning inward and doing some interior projects like painting and haning more pictures.
Wedding update: I think all of the major stuff is taken care of! We found a florist, a cake, transportation, and are currently having ongoing meetings with a mentor couple. Kelsey and my mom are off to look at invitations in a few weeks and the only other major things left are addressing and mailing the invitations. I have some responsibilities coming up with the slide show and door prize .. er... umm... parting gift.. uh.... errr... what ever you call it. :-)
Kelsey and I actually went back to SJU a few weeks ago to have our engagement pictures taken. It was very nice and also very eerie to be back at school. We drove by the house where we met at a party, and our freshman dorms were close enough to see. It was weird to think that we "met" so long ago. It seems like a different lifetime! I'll post some pictures when I get them. From what i've seen they've turned out pretty good!
I guess that's it. Off to do some more work, but until next time.. BRIAN CAN'T UPDATE WORTH CRAP!! :-) hee hee
