Apple getting greener

Every once in a while there is some encouraging news that leads me to believe that not everyone with power is evil. Greenpeace had been running a campaign to get Apple to green up a bit. Today Steve Jobs announced that they were going to do just that. Its not as good as we were all hoping for but still great. To me this represents a real commitment on the part of the company to their customers and maybe even to the world that we all share. I actually wrote to Steve Jobs through Greenpeace's website, it was an automated message but I erased that and sent my own message. I am personally encouraged by that and it makes me think that maybe, just maybe those things actually are read by someone. Maybe one letter can make a difference.

Today was not a very good day

I have had a rough day on the family front. My Grandma passed away last weekend, the funeral was today. It was a nice funeral. After it we found out that my uncle (dad's younger brother) had died of a heart attack that morning. We were all very shocked.

I am doing alright with things I suppose. Its hard to say really. My grandma and aunt were really torn up and that was hard to see. I would appreciate your prayers and positive thoughts for my family.

Wedding in Progress

It is now less than two months till go time. I feel good about that I think. Well I definitly feel good about getting married, as a matter of fact I am really tired of waiting and waiting for the day to come. Its a lot of little and not so little things that make it a pain in the butt to not be married. For instance; I am over at her place just about every evening and night and that means that every night I have to make the trek back to my place. Its also knowing that where I am living now is temporary so no reason to clean or make it a nice lived in apartment, it is fine the way it is, a little cluttered and not very inviting. Plus I love Julie and am really looking forward to living with her.

What I think I feel good about is all the planning. It seems that all the big pieces are in place. Some parts are going to fall through the cracks and only be seen on the day before the wedding. I know that this is inevitable. I've talked with our caterer now and she is all good, we have invitations and need to address them, we a photographer, we have someone to marry us. And of course we have our location, I am looking forward to being at camp again.

It really wont be the same without kids and camp things happening there but just the grounds and location require an annual pilgrimage. Those of you who are coming to our wedding will see that it is a beautiful place but you wont see the life that exists there when camp is in full swing.

Anyway I wanted to let people know how wedding preparations were coming .... its coming, Slowly, as in day by day. And I feel it building.
