And So It Goes

"What goes?" you might ask, well....life goes.

Things are definitely getting crazy. I never figured that this year would involve so many meetings though. I have a weekly meeting with my Senior Design Project(SDP) Team, meetings with various people about the project that we're undertaking(Once we have the website up I will post the link so you all can see what I'll be working on), meetings with the Professor I work for, meetings for the Honors Society that I'm the president of, and the list goes on. But I'm pretty happy with how things are going so far. I'm excited about my classes. So far Amanda and I have been doing pretty well even without getting to see each other much.

On a lighter note, a buddy of mine invited me to join a fantasy football league this fall and I figured it would help take my mind off of school every once in a while. So, week 1 was this past weekend, AND I WON!!!! who would have thought. It's actually pretty exciting. For those of you that like football, creating a fantasy team really makes you look at football as a whole instead of just watching YOUR team.

Amanda and I will be heading to the Cape this weekend for her cousins wedding. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing, but I'm sure it will prove to be a good time. Her father and I are talking about taking our golf clubs and playing a round on Sunday morning which would simply make the trip.

Anyway, that's if for now, and "don't forget to drink your milk".

And It Starts

This blogging thing is funny......I kinda feel like I'm letting people down when I don't post. Interesting.

Anyway, school has begun. Already I'm in full swing, and it should be an interesting year. I'm happily married, so I need to continue to uphold my end of the bargain and be a good husband, while at the same time juggling my senior year of craziness, and attempting to maintain an honors society at school. What have I gotten myself into. I'm excited though....it is my senior year which, for engineering student, mean that you've pretty much made it. Now I just need to start seriously considering what I'm going to do after I get out of school. Any suggestions?

I will write more as life progresses.

Love to all, and remember to drink your milk.

More Pictures

Alright here's the deal. For those of you that would like to see the remainder of the wedding pictures here's the website.

You'll have to register to view the pictures, but once you have you'll be able to order directly from the site. It's pretty cool actually.

That's all for this post,

Monte, Out....

Pictures to Wet the Appetite

My Beautiful Bride

We chose to take pictures on the top of Mt. Sugarloaf. This is the site
that my Grandmothers ashes are spread, and since she couldn't be at
the ceremony I figured she should be at the picture session. She provided
a wonderful day for picture takeing. Thanks Gram.

At first I thought the bubbles idea was pretty lame, but I
have to admit, they make for really good pictures. Thanks Baby

How is it that we all look so stupid in this picture?

I definitely have the best groomsmen ever.

Don't worry everyone this is just the beginning of what's to come.

As a good friend of mine would say,
"Peace, Love and Beer"

Crazy Weekends......

Another weekend come and gone. This summer has been flying by, I can't believe that it's August already.

This past weekend was another of what has become an annual trip for myself and a bunch of close friends. Dave Matthews!!!! Saturday, August 4 at the Dodge Music Center, Hartford, CT.

This year we weren't able to get a room at our normal spot ( very close to the venue), so we had to get a hotel about 3 miles away. This meant that taxi's were needed to avoid DUI's as well as the chaos that is Venue Traffic. Well this is all well and good when your talking about getting to the concert, getting back is another story. There are sooo many cars all over the place that no taxi driver is his right mind would even consider a pick up. So we start walking in hopes of get far enough away from the action to get picked up. It would have made for a very interesting time except that my wife was having alot of problems with her neck that night. I felt very badly about that, and even worse about not being able to do anything about it. We found a nice sitting spot(curb side) at a four way intersection and watched the traffic cops in action, very funny. Three cops in the middle of the road directing people here and there, while it seemed like every driver wanted to go in the opposite direction. They would try everything from roll down the window and ask, to turn on the blinker and just try to be defiant. So the cops would yell, "You can't go that way, there's an accident", or"Nope there's a roll over down there, you've gotta go this way." Then with the next line of traffic, they'd use the same excuse only for a different direction. Truth was, they just wanted to split traffic up, and get them to the highway as quickly as possible. They were actually very efficient, and you could tell that they had been doing this for years and years. We'd laugh and tell them they were doing a good job, or ask them questions, they were very nice.

All in all, the concert was very crazy(as it always is), but I have to say....it was the best Dave concert I've ever been to yet, and most of you know, I've been to ALOT of Dave concerts. Lots of old stuff, a couple new songs from his next album....but they played and played, and you could tell that they were all having so much fun which simply makes the music.

So, for all of you that were at the concert, thanks for such a great time. For all of you that weren't there, if you get a chance to see Dave live, take it.....I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Milk, It does a body good.

The Blog to Start It All

Over the past couple years I've been keeping up with some of my closest friends from around the globe through their dedication to blogging. I think its time for me to give back. I have no idea why anyone would care to read about the happenings(or non-happenings) in my life, but that's just my opinion and I shouldn't let it stop me. Also, due to recent life changes, I feel like I need a place to write about the good times and the bad times. So here goes......

Hopefully most of you reading this know what change I speak of, but if not I recently traded in my bachelorhood for the love of my life. 07-07-07 was the date(yes we were one of those), and what a great day it was....or at least thats what everyone as told me. Funny thing about your own wedding, you work like crazy to pull together all the details, but on the wedding day everything becomes a blur. Unfortunate as it might be, I honestly only remember bits and pieces of the day. I guess that's why we have pictures and video....thanks to my beautiful wife who insisted on both. I will be posting some pictures of the wedding for everyone to see, and I'm sure you are all dying to see them.
So that's that, honeymoon was great, moving sucks(even when it's not your own stuff), life is great and please don't ask me "How's married life?" I REALLY HATE THAT QUESTION. If you want to ask me a question, come up with something a little more intelligent and less annoying. Everyone knows that there are only two responses to that question, Good and Bad. And honestly, even if married life wasn't working out all that well do you really think I'm going to tell you.......so I guess the answer is narrowed down to "Good." That will be my answer, I won't go into any other detail. Alright, enough with the rant....

I hope to hear from you all soon, and when I get some pictures back from the wife I will write some more detail on the wedding and the honeymoon.

Remember to drink your milk,
Monte
