Jesse just got back from his Starbucks trip to Seattle and had a blast! Even though he only had roughly three hours to spare the entire trip, it went well and he had a chance to hang out with most everyone -- everyone except Katie, who tried her darndest to make it up from Oregon. Traffic, children, and CEO's conspired against us and she did not have a chance to make it. We missed you, Katie!!!
Pictures will be posted pretty soon, so we can all admire how cool Jesse is in Seattle. Check out Jesse's Picasa album in the near future. Also, stay tuned for J&N's Moving Adventure updates!!!
We went and saw the Sex And The City movie today. Surprisingly, even having never seen a single episode, Jesse enjoyed it! Who would have thought?! Obviously Nicole really liked it, since she's loved the series since the first season.
Carried away in NYC,
Jesse and Nicole
P.S. It is official: Arch is the finest OS around. Go KDEmod!

Wait...Beaches is pretty awesome
Soooooooooooooo... yay kids! We looked at the differences between Sandals and Beaches:
- cost differences (winner: Beaches)
- activities for all (clear winner: Beaches)
- bottomless premium food/beverages (winner: tie)
- calming, relaxing atmosphere (winner: Sandals)
- XBox Game Garage, 18,000 sq. ft. waterpark, and swim-up soda/snack bar!!! (winner: Beaches)
When it's all said and done, Beaches came out on top and we're probably gonna end up having our wedding there. (for the detail-oriented: we're looking at staying for 4 nights/3 days with everyone at Beaches Boscobel, then heading off to Sandals Negril for some newlywed-only time)
More updates en route!
Loving the waterpark,
Jesse and Nicole (and Lucy)
P.S. I REALLY want to use Konqueror exclusively, but it has some issues Firefox (Iceweasel) doesn't. Love you, KDE (almost as much as fluxbox).

Sandals, not Beaches. Sorry kids!
Hello everyone! We hope everything is going well for everyone out there across states (and the globe, really).
Not a whole lot actually happening here in the Big Apple. That's not to say we're not very busy planning and setting things up, but nothing is really changing for the time being. Still looking for places to live without know where we'll be living. Still calling ourselves "New Yorkers" without having seen half of what this city has to offers (maybe 1/64th). Still loving the Braodway farmers' market, taking the subway, walking the dog through the concrete jungle into Central Park, getting honked at by taxis, and still dreading the summer -- today it's 96, feels like 101.
So, big tip for you loyal blog readers: First, Starbucks is flying Jesse to Seattle later this month for a few days, and he'll probably have a spare evening or two while he's in town. Second -- and much, MUCH more significant -- Jesse and Nicole are starting to plan a wedding in September 2009. We're shooting for a Caribbean destination deal, so we're still working out pretty much all the details. It's a long way off/to go, but we want the word to be spread early because group discount rates exist. Plan ahead! Hopefully it will be for about three days, depending on who can make it.
There are now lots more pictures up on Jesse's web album, although many without comments yet. Work in progress...
After a year of hit-and-miss nonsense, we finally found an inexpensive and quality groomer in Manhattan. Thank you, Camp Canine of 73rd and Central Park West. Thank you.
Mentally in Ocho Rios,
Jesse and Nicole
P.S. Yet another distro chosen: Slackware is excessive, yet accessible and functional. Ohm...
