Kelly and I decided to spend a bit of our leftover wedding money (giftcards) and we found this beautiful desk that we really like. We already have a desk in our spare bedroom, but since that is getting converted to the baby's room, the desk has to go. The problem is that the desk is falling apart and won't fit out the door and etc. so we decided to get a new one. (By the way, if anyone wants a desk that only needs a little work to be useable, let me know) Here are a few pictures of Kelly building it (for those of you who don't know, building furniture is one of Kelly's most favorite things to do which is good since I am not exactly a "handy man." She takes care of most of the repair type things(lously lack of masculentiy)) and some pictures of it totally setup and looking good.

Update
Hey everyone, I haven't put anything up in a while, and I feel real bad about it. I realize that my blog is probably a daily stop in your internet surfing and there hasn't been anything new for a long time. For most of you there hasn't been anything interesting in an even longer time. So, I thought I would just do a quick update on our lives.
Kelly is doing really good. She has started going to a chiropracter every week or so, which makes her life way better. Despite the fact that she is no longer morning sick, the annoyances of pregnancy continue to haunt our house. She has had a lot of back pain and discomfort and sore muscles. Going to the chiropracter helps her out a lot and she always sounds a million times better when she gets home. Despite her aches and pains she has been really active around the house. She has set about trying to clean and organize the whole house, including moving furniture.(Very fun times-how many times does furniture have to move to be in the right spot?) She has also started working on her quilt again and it should be done really soon. We are excited about the baby coming and she is WAY excited to start getting "cute" baby things.
As for me, I am still plugging away at school. I have about three more weeks of classes until finals, and I definately don't feel ready for them. I have spent a lot of time working on my research and even presented last Saturday at the Spring Research Conference. It went well enough that I am pleased with the overall results. I will continue to work on the project and the writing of it over the next few months, with a goal to have it completely submitted by June.
Kelly's birthday was a few weeks ago, here is a pic or two. Hope you all are doing well.

Spring Research Conference
I just got the news that my abstract was accepted for the Spring Research Conference! This is sort of exciting for me since I will be presenting research that I have actually done the analysis for (as opposed to my presentation at the AAS meeting where I was merely a peon). I will be presenting at 12:15 on March 21. I am not sure if it is something people are invited to, I think it is. If you are interested in coming, let me know and I will figure it out. Also, if you aren't interested in coming, don't feel bad. Attending a research conference for the department of Mathematical and Physical Sciences is definately something I would not go to unless I was presenting. Either way, I will let you know how it turns out.
