HELLO-O-o-o

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long. Once you get out of the habit the next thing you realize is 6 months have gone by. Some fairly noteworthy events have happened in the King household since the last update. Over Christmas break we had a nice visit with Gordon's folks in Chapel Hill, Gordon's "fun" classmates from high school had an impromptu class reunion at the Carolina Brewery, where Gordon used to run the kitchen, and we took a mini trip t Charleston, SC where we were treated to a great room by my Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Steve. Below are some of the pics from Charleston:

In March Gordon had a 2 week run in Newark. Rather than flying home for 36 hours or so his company let him keep the hotel over the weekend instead of buying him a plane ticket. So I came to visit him and we spent the day in the city. We walked about 15 miles, saw Central Park, Rockefeller Center, WTC site, Battery Park, a homeless guy with no pants on the subway, FAO Schwartz, The MET, the village, etc. Lots of fun and here are some pics:

For our 1 year anniversary (aka Memorial Day Weekend) Gordon and I went up to DC to watch our beloved DC United play against Real Salt Lake. They tied, again!, 0-0 but we don't hold that against them. We also made a trip to the WWII Memorial and caught a drink and a bite with my step sister, Erin and her fiance, Andrew. Here are some pics of the excursion:

Sorry for the funky layouts!
















Besides the mini trips we have gotten to take, Gordon and I finally decided enough was enough and moved out of the "Chateau Ghetto" and moved into a little 2 bedroom house in the Ocean View area of Norfolk at the beginning of May. Haven't had a chance to take any good pics of the place, but it has come together quite nicely. The landlord is cool with us fixing the place up in return for reduced rent. Back yard needs some work, but it is WAY better than the Ghent apartment. Hopefully I will get some more good pics and keep up with this blog...Gordon and I are planning on hitting the 10th Annual Blackbeard festival this afternoon so maybe that will lend itself to some interesting images!! Till Next Time...
