Per Sheryl’s request: a photo of my cute skirtness. It didn’t come out quite so well, but you get the idea.

This kicks our Trek fish‘s ass. Seen at the Grand Opening of Books A Million at Levis Commons in Perrysburg.
As Erk reminded me a few days ago, Aaron and I moved into our house exactly one year ago Monday.
I still wish I’d kept the digital camera handy during the move, so I could have taken pictures of the perfectly-packed 24-foot giant U-Haul, or the inside of our empty apartment, or the all-volunteer moving crew at their complimentary Easystreet lunch.
I do have some other pictures of interest, though:

Our house, at inspection time (February 2004)

The aftermath of getting the U-Haul stuck in the mud across the street from our new house

Our living room, after we got the furniture in place, one year before we got the widescreen TV
So, yeah. Happy one year in the house to us! (Only 29 more years of house payments to go…)

Courtesy of Sheryl, for a whopping $800: a 55″ Mitsubishi widescreen TV. Not pictured: Kenwood surround sound system (ProLogic).
Anyone who knows how big that damn orange lamp is can truly appreciate the scope and magnitude of our new purchase. Holy shit.

I’ve gone entirely too long without posting a cute Mei pic. So, here you go: Mei looking all sleepy on the chair in the living room, sometime last month.
