So the past couple weeks have been a bit of a blur. Tomorrow is my last day at Identix. It’s been a fun 2.5 year run but everything needs to end. I’ve been offered a pretty decent career move (along with a decent pay bump) and I’ll soon be picking up the reigns of web developer. It’s been a while since I’ve been a code monkey and I honestly can’t wait. My life is so busy these days it seems like I haven’t had the time I need to give the coder side of my brain. Hopefully my social life won’t suffer too much but I’m sure djing will keep that going.

I also recently made the decision to buy Robbie’s 99 Jeep Wrangler. Last year this time I never would have dreamed I’d own a Jeep. It’s weird, the statement “It’s a jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand” makes sense now. At least until the Focus runs again but thats a whole different story.

Lots of people spend their whole life looking for that right person for them. I’m happy to say that over the weekend I attended the wedding of two of my close friends Jay and Carla. Jay and I became close friends over the summer after our graduation and I give him credit for my love of cars. Carla and I originally met in the grill area at McDonalds where we both worked. When I found out the two of them were dating, they always seemed different together than other couples, almost as if they had a connection you rarely see in couples. It’s even more evident after last weekend.

On the personal aspect of things, it was great to get away and live life like it was before Justin Styles was created. Three and a half days of being with old friends and family made me awful nostalgic. I met some new people, a few I’d like to get to know better, and a few I’m glad I will never know better. Thankfully the latter can serve as a reason why I’m glad I left Superior so it wasn’t for nothing.

I could type out the whole trip, and maybe I’ll do this in the future. But it’s late and I felt it necessary I say something because this past weekend had a huge impact on my life (and partially because Dave said I need to update). I did lots of thinking about things that were and where I’m going with my life. I definitely see myself aging, watching friends get married and separate. Soon my friends will be having kids, all the meanwhile my mom will be asking me when she gets grandchildren. The answer is still the same though, when I have my 911.
