It's Been a While

So it's been a while but I guess that is what happens when you have a 6 month old and work full time. Anyways a lot has been going on with me. My nephew was born last month and him and mom are doing well. Amidala is now sitting up on her own and learning to crawl.

As for me I have decided to start a 101 in 1001. I have a bunch of friends that have started it which got me interested and thinking that I have some stuff that I would like to do/finish. While I always have a new year's resolution list and an ongoing mental bucket list. What better than to put in writing what I want to do and give myself a time limit. Anyways, here is my list, keep checking back as I will be making a post for each one that I finish.
