After my latest Hiatus

Lemme see here... Okay I'll put these in chronological order.

1st. We got a boat! And it works! After about a dozen repairs or so but hey...

2nd. I have a niece. Yeah, it's kinda freaky and cool at the same time. Her name is Nora and she's Erin and Nick's daughter (Erin is my sister).

3rd. I got my Learner's Permit. Soon I will be able to travel freely!

4th. Alexi turned 16... I guess it's kinda cool.

5th. I got an XBOX finally!

6th. I went on the Walkabout. Not so much fun as bloody boring, but whatever.

7th. Josh and Jess told us they'd be having a baby too! I hope it's a nephew, I don't want competing nieces. (Josh is my brother)

8th. I got this done. Huzzah!
