The news

When I was younger, my momentum to write was amazing. I wrote down every trivial detail in a blog.

Now that I actually have something to say, I never blog about it. Little slice of irony, eh? Well, I do have some rather exciting announcements to share. Here goes:

1) I'm having a baby! WHA? No, it's true. Haley and I found out shortly before our October trip to Seattle. Morning nausea made us suspect; the pregnancy test confirmed it. Haley is approximately 4 months along and judging from the tests, we are going to have a healthy baby boy. I've gone through the full gamut of joyous emotions and I'm really excited for what lies ahead.

2) Annnnd...we are getting married! Honestly, we would be just as happy if we remained registered domestic partners. What made us change our minds was the revelation that domestic partners get dicked BIG TIME in health benefits taxes. We are going to have a civil ceremony next month at City Hall and a church wedding in June of next year. We have to go through all of this pre-Cana marriage counseling before we can get married in the church.

3) New job! I finally maneuvered my way out of HR. I seized an opportunity to work in my company's editorial department; if I'm lucky, this new position (proofreader) will lead to a career in copywriting.

4) Moving on out :) Haley and I are thisclose to closing on a condo in Jersey City. Never thought I would leave NYC. Then again, I never thought I would have a wife, baby and desirable career.

Good things come to those who wait and take their swing when it's their turn at the plate.
