Where is Joe?
April 19th, 2008
Today marks just over a month since I posted anything new. I have tons of things I want to put up here, along with getting back to my trip reports from my Trans-Am. Hopefully I can do that soon.
What have I been doing?
I’ve been shopping for a house. I think I found one. I’m working out the details and getting inspections and all that jazz. Hopefully I’ll have everything worked out soon. Then I get to move a bunch of stuff into it. Needless to say, I’ll be busy for a while. I’ll try to do better, but no promises.
Amy and Joe

Thanks Scott for pointing out that you don’t know what Amy looks like. I’m know that many of the people I sent the engagement notice out to have not seen her either. Well, here you go! Enjoy.

Happy Birthday To Me
March 7th, 2008
Hurray for me. Today is my birthday.
Last night, I decided to make a German Chocolate Cake. Amy thought I shouldn’t have to make my own cake, but I wanted to try one from scratch. The cake used real melted chocolate and I folded in whipped egg whites. The frosting was pretty standard fare with egg yolks, evaporated milk, sugar, etc. I didn’t have a piece until tonight. I cooked the cake a little too much and it was slightly dry. I’ll post the recipes on here later. It is my birthday, after all.
30,000 Hours Later and I’m Engaged
March 2nd, 2008
On September 24th, 2004, I met Amy for the first time on our date at Acapulco Joe’s in Downtown Indianapolis. Amy’s car broke down just before we met, so she was driving her dad’s old Ford Ranger. We have been seeing each other since. On Tuesday, we were going to reach an obscure and geeky anniversary. We will have known each other for exactly 30,000 hours. About two months ago, I targeted this date for something I had been planning for almost a year. She said, “Yes.” I’m now engaged. Here is how it happened.
