Where the Hox are you?

Hey guys-

Any idea on where Hox has been? I saw his post, that he regretfully won't be able to come to the wedding. I had been hoping that he'd throw down his pants as part of his reception toast. :(

I've been meaning to email him, but with the alumni directory down, I wasn't sure how to reach him. This is a desperately plea of reuniting with the finest butler I have ever employed.

I officially dedicate this posting to Hoxworth and his Hoxy legacy. Please comment and add magnificent glory due unto his name.

Wedding Invite

Hey, Guys-

As with Gin's, you are all invited to my wedding on August 6th. Actually, if you'd like a free dinner, a nifty little bachelor party, and to spend the night at my place, you're all welcome to come early, on Friday night, August 5th, at 5pm.

I, too, tried to send out invitations, but in addition to all of my excuses (see previous post), I don't have all of your addresses. Do me a favor, though, and shoot me an email if you're interested in coming. That'd be great.

Thanks guys!

Two months the charm...

Hey, all--

My apologies for not checking the blog more often. I hadn't realized it had been so long. I heard about Gin's wedding yesterday (!), and when I saw the blog, I found I haven't been around for over two months. But as usual (and Skip can testify to this), I have a good excuse... well, several excuses...

1. I accepted that new job in Shelbyville back in February. This involved moving from graduate school back home, then from home to temporary housing, then from temporary housing to a house in Shelbyville.
2. I purchased a new house in Shelbyville-- my mortgage payments were less than Chicago rent-- which involved a complicated process, purchasing needed items for the home, etc.
3. On top of all that, I proposed to Ginny...

Most of you know all of that, but that quick summary is important for my next three excuses...

4. I lost the new... well, old... job in Shelbyville. This is a somewhat of a comical story (maybe I convinced them to fire me?), but in short, the pastor and I were very different people.
5. I am now selling the new/old house in Shelbyville. This, of course, means that I have been moving out of the house and office.
6. Ginny and I are busily planning the wedding ceremony.

But if those excuses aren't enough...
7. I am looking for a new job (one interview and writing test already; two more interviews this week). I am primarily applying at Christian schools and publishing companies.
8. My internet connection dies about every 2 minutes, which makes web work almost impossible! :)

--------------------

That's all to say... I'll try to be around more often!! Check for my next post in a minute. (Just to prove my point.)

dr love is getting married!

and I need a g-mail account!

ok now that I have your attention, I'll stop being a liar now...

I am moving to the Cheese-state!

I accepted the offer to work at WMTV NBVC* 15 in Madison WI and will start on August 1st. So I have 17 days to pack up my apartment, find a new apartment 2 states away, sell my old Volvo, see if the Lafayette Saturn dealer will fix my new(er) car before I move and wrap up all those other loose things.

thats all
