"...since ya looked at me..."

I can't even begin to tell you how long it's been since I've even thought about writing one of these. It's been a wild two weeks, my friends...

Holloween opened this morning with just a little help from me and that little (massive) project (undertaking) kept myself and a handful of other individuals quite pre-occupied. Of course it's not like we're working on any other shows right now either, right?

On top of that, my father had surgery last week which we thought would be the end. Thankfully, he pulled out way ahead of the game and is recovering at home (finally), but not without a whole week in the hospital. His health is going to be a little different the rest of his days, but he's still his old self. I'm very happy he's doing alright. It's made my mother kinda hysterical, but she panics sometimes when she loses control of too much. I love my mom, but "go with the flow" ain't her thing.

Kimberly and I celebrated our 25 years on this planet last Saturday with our friends and family in Kim's parent's backyard, it was very fun and I really appreciate their kindness in letting us use their backyard...it was great to see everyone too.

Unfortunately, while all of this was/is going on (and unfortunate isn't a horrible enough word to describe this) my dear friend Kristin Plummer lost her battle and went to heaven. She was such a wonderful person to me and everyone she met. She was always honest, always incredibly genuine, certainly talented, and a great wife and mother. Her two young girls and my friend Brian (her husband) will miss her so much along with anyone whoever had the joy of meeting her or working with her. She cared for her friends like we were her family and she was so happy even when her health was down and her hair was gone. Many things will be more empty without Kristin.

Kimberly's been very sick the last week (ever since we struck our little soiree) and she's finally lacking in fever, but unfortunately she's still coughing a TON and is so sick of being sick.

Oh, my friend Joshua Hutchings won his emmy for lighting on American Idol. I'm so very proud to know him and know his work.

Through the many things that have happened in the last two weeks a few things haven't changed: I'm so much more in love with Kimberly than two weeks ago (everyone can stop asking when we're gonna get married, I'll tell you later), I still am very dedicated to what I do and I love it very much, and my life is very amazing as always...

Keep it up, friends...it's who you are...

P.S. I'm thrilled as anything that HIMYM, The Big Band Theory, Community, The Office, and all the TV Season's have started...it's gonna be legen-, wait for it...

Oh, How They Move

Dear friend, it's been so long since we've spoken last. Some things have transpired since...

I received an award, thanks in ALL parts, to Matt Ferguson who's tenacity convinced enough people to submit forms for me to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. It's a milestone for my career at "the company" and it was very exciting to be able to stand next to Shawn and Tara (also receiving inductions). Some people said some very nice things about me...

...ANNND...Kimberly and I are looking for a little place to call our own. After three places, we've decided that we like them, but it's too soon to tell. We'll be filling out the loan application soon just to have one ready in the event that we fall in love with something.

Lastly on this brief update is that my dear friends have finally premiered an element in our 17 year old show at the resort. Congratulations to them!
