Whew! Awesome picture! Me and my woman - I like it, she doesn't. I say my vote wins, so now it's all over the internet. This is us at Jr./Sr. Banquet last Spring. Isn't she beautiful?

A Phenomenal Weekend
Well, my last post is almost obsolete at this point. Let me drop the vague language and covert syntax from before and come to the point. This past weekend, I had planned to rent a car, drive to Columbus, and surprise Vanessa for her birthday. It was a wonderful plan, but the folks at Enterprise dashed the proverbial ship of my dreams against the equally proverbial Great Barrier Reef. After presenting me with a series of hurdles to jump through, they informed me that should I meet the qualifications, I still would be unable to rent a car from them. That was a bummer, let me tell you.
So, I went online and found that all was as I feared - lost. The closest car rental facility of which I might have availed myself was in Charleston, an hour's journey north. I quietly dismissed any thought of corporally wishing my fiancee a happy birthday. At this point, my parents became my all-time heroes. They purposed to facilitate for me a ride to Charleston sometime during the evening. In Charleston, Hertz had caught my eye as the only company that would rent a car to me at a reasonable rate, minus all the hassle with which others had buttressed themselves.
Anxiously, I waited for the evening. As the afternoon waned, my pulse quickened to find that I would indeed be presented with the opportunity to continue with my plans despite the minor delay of 5 or 6 hours.
Yeah, anyway, so that was a good story. But here's the real good part - so I rented this really sweet car that got, like, 36 miles per gallon. I got to Columbus that night at about 12:00. The next afternoon, I drove to the airport to pick up Vanessa. Man, she freaked out when I walked up to her. It was like she'd seen a ghost. She kinda screamed and threw her arm up in front of her face, which made me wonder if I was really as good-looking as she tells me I am. (Note to self: Never say that in front of people again.)
We had an awesome weekend together, even though I was dog-tired. I think she was too which made me look less wussy (which is a good thing if you're me - you're not, so who cares). After it was all over, I drove back to WVA with wonderful memories and the prospect of finally starting my job at ABC.
I'll update later about my first day, but for now, suffice it to say that I am thoroughly excited by the idea of busywork, cause right now I don't have any.
Good times.

By the way, this is free for you fellas out there (the ones of you that are my age, I mean): If you decide to get engaged (which I would strongly encourage at some point in your life), make sure you pick the right woman. I sure did! Next summer sure seems like a long way away from where I stand, and if I'm as excited about it as I am right now, I can't imagine what it's going to be like when it gets here. I might have a heart attack during the ceremony. My, wouldn't that be dramatic.
