My best friend’s wedding

Jun/093
With only 11 days before the wedding, you’d think I’d be freaking out. For those of you who know me, being the center of attention is not something I usually seek out. In fact, a few weeks ago I was hyperventilating at the thought of the impending date.
However, for some reason I’m completely calm. It’s the strangest feeling. Part of it is the fact that the to do list is dwindling. I was really stressing about being able to get everything done in the few weeks left before the wedding. Luckily, I’ve had some awesome people step up and help me out, namely my parents and future mother-in-law.
But mostly it is the thought that occured to me after returning from my bachelorette weekend in Florida. In only a few days time, I’m going to be married and not to just anyone. I’m going to be married to my best friend.
All this time, I’d been planning a party. I was worried about getting everything just right and trying to do it with a tiny budget. I never stopped to think about the reason I was doing all this. I forgot about why I was willing to stand in front of over a hundred people and be the center of attention. It’s the guy standing at the end of the aisle.

Amanda and I went apartment hunting last Friday and Saturday OMG A LONG TIME AGO. I wanted to try and share some of the knowledge that we gained through the whole experience.
If you’re planning on looking for an apartment, hopefully some things I say here will aid you in your search.
Also, you could probably just call me and we could chat. You know, whatever works best.

Going over code that someone else wrote can be very interesting at times. I could have posted a number of random things that I’ve found over the years, but I haven’t.
However, today I feel like the need to share a bit of HTML code I found lodged into an online internship database that I’m maintaining.
<div id="testdiv1" style="position:absolute;left:-10000px;visibility:hidden;background-color:white;"></div>
Seriously? What purpose does this serve at all? Absolutely nothing. The only thing it does it COMPLETELY VALIDATE the thought that popped into my head, literally, 8 seconds before I read it.
Did they make this in Dreamweaver?

Today, I asked Charlie to make me an online phonebook for all of my work numbers. Now that I’ve been at my company for almost two months, I have four whole contacts, which apparently is too many for me to keep track of.
Recently, Charlie made a phonebook for himself because he kept destroying his cell phones and losing his numbers. I thought this was super cool and had to have one of my own. Him being the funny guy he is, when I went to check out what he did, he had changed the header to say Amanda[dot]com (instead of charlieholder[dot]com) and below it read the following:

This post is a little late, but whatever. You’ll read it anyway.
I totally helped, count ‘em, ONE TWO turtles escape certain death last week.
ONE
I was driving down Spring Hill Parkway to the apartment and came upon a turtle crossing the street while cars just whizzed by and over the little guy. I turned around, pulled over, got out, stopped traffic, and picked up the turtle. He went into his shell, but I got him to safety. Job well done.
TWO
I was driving into the apartment complex not two days later and came upon another turtle crossing the road near the front gate. I stopped, got out, and picked him up. He didn’t clam up. He just kept wiggling around. I thought he was going to bite me. I put him back down, got a box top out of the trunk, and used that you pick him up and put him in the grass. Job well done, again.
Please send all requests for turtle saving to:

I think it’s pretty funny that two of my friends, people who don’t know each other at all, sent me the same online birthday card. IMO, it gets even better because they were the only two people that sent me online birthday cards.
Another Homepage Redesign

I have gotten bored with my homepage, again, and decided to update the look. I hope you like it, because I really do.
It is probably my favorite so far. But I bet that’s a biased opinion.
- It is MY site.
- I wouldn’t change it if I didn’t like it.
- It is my site.
Some of the new features are:
Any problems or comments, leave them here.

The big day is coming up. Not THE BIG DAY, but the regular big day. Not the HUGE BIG DAY, just the regular big day.
Hopefully Amanda will have something planned here pretty soon.
Maybe:
- A pool party
- A small gathering in the new apartment
- A dinner at a restaurant
- A surprise
I’m sure everyone is invited, so BOLO for some details.

I was browsing through the web and happened upon a site that made me laugh. Here’s a screenshot of the LOL.

Amanda and I have been looking for a new church recently. In approximately 46 days, 8 hours, 27 minutes, 30 seconds, we will be living together and in need of a regular church close to the apartment.
Last Sunday we went to Cumberland Community Church for the third time. We enjoy going there because
- it is very close to the apartment;
- they have a contemporary service;
- it is a fairly small church so we feel like we are actually apart of it; and
- they have a pretty dynamic speaker.
Something very interesting happened last Sunday that I have never seen or heard about at any church. While the Pastor was giving the sermon, he invited anyone that had text messaging capabilities to send questions about the sermon via text message to a number they posted on the projector screen. He also invited a panel of three men from the church to sit on the stage while he gave the sermon to help answer any of the questions that were posed from the audience.
Nobody’s phone rang in the middle of talking, nobody sent anything inappropriate, and the questions pertained to everyone. It was really interesting and was encorporated very well into the flow of the sermon.
Each time we go there I am impressed.
