Hee hee, another month has gone by, so that must mean it is time for another update! This time, I have a boatload (trainload?) of pictures from my recent trip on Amtrak's Coast Starlight from Seattle to Los Angeles. This was quite the trip, and I got a lot of good pics! Take a look when you get the chance.

In the mean time, my wedding is rapidly approaching! Less than two weeks to go, in fact. I fly out from San Diego a week from this coming Tuesday, since Gwen and I still have a few last minute details to work out together. While I am a little nervous about such a major change in my life, I am also a bit excited as well. I will get a chance to see people, like Gwen, whom I last saw  in April, and my parents and sister, whom I last saw at Christmas! I'm really looking forward to catching up with everyone.

In the mean time, I've been busily working on my hobbies and my preparations to take the GRE this coming Friday. Taking the GRE has become a bit of a necessity, since I am looking at applying for several graduate education opportunites through the Navy. Studying is going well; there is nothing new to me here, but I am a bit out of practice since I haven't really had time for many scholarly pursuits since I graduated from the Academy over four years ago. Time to hit the books!
