What up

Soo..some of you may be wondering what has been up with CforCooking. It's been forever and a day since I have posted and for a semi good reason. I was sitting in class writing a post for class when the database became corrupted and I couldn't recover it. At that point I decided that I was through hosting a blog in my own databases...just not worth the time, aggravation and general pain in the butt that upgrading the software/databases. Combine that with 2 needy classes and I was swamped through April and May. When I was in China, my roommate told me that 2008 was going to be a big year for me and he was totally right. To date 2008 has included:

  • Working on our new house (new deck, new kitchen!)
  • Going to China
  • Purchase of a Big Green Egg which I'm very much blaming on Wiliam Conway
  • Leaving my job of 9 1/2 years to go to a smaller financial software company
  • Completing my grad classes and graduating with my MBA on May 17th!
  • Birth of my niece on April 17th
Now...all of that is some pretty cool stuff but it pales in comparison to the bigger news that we received. Turns out that Steph and I are expecting our first child!! The due date is 12/31/08 and we couldn't be happier. I've set up a website that will hopefully keep family and friends informed and will get Stephanie in the blogging game. The website is BforBaby.net and is very much beta right about now...however, we do have about 6 months to get it going :)

As for this site...since I've bought my egg I've been participating in some yummy BBQ/Grill action on my egg. So much so, that I'll be shifting the focus of the site for a while to grilling/BBQ'ing....so get ready for some fun times and if you have any suggestions for the site please let me know!
