2025

This year saw the start of our fourth year in Philadelphia.

2024

We began our third year in Philadelphia.

2023

July marked the point we'd both been in Philadelphia for an entire year.

2022

This was a big year. I drove from Wichita to Philadelphia twice, I ended my employment with INTRUST Bank for a job in the cruise industry, and I finally brought this website online. I also turned 40.

2010

Julie and I got married in November.

2009

I think I started doing work for Convergys this year, perhaps?

2008

Julie asks me to housesit while she goes to Belize for a week, and I get her apartment set up with internet. It seems we're living together now.

2007

Julie and I meet through OKCupid and start dating.

2006

I'm pretty hazy on the exact start and stop dates, but for some period in this year, Angie and I are dating.

2005

I think this is the year when Carl buys the house on Wayne Court. I moved in there with him, Haley, Emit, and Steve, and I dubbed it CHESM.

2004

Carl and I moved into the apartments in Derby while I continued taking classes at Butler County. I misread my schedule and lost the Target job, so over the summer I used a temp agency to work at Vornado for their recall, where I met Garrett. I eventually started working at Walmart.

2003

Came back to the house in Derby to attend Cowley County Community College classes and work at Target.

2002

Flunked out of college. Started another year in Lawrence in which I'd live with roommates and work at Target while pursuing online community classes, I think? That last part fell by the wayside.

2001

Barely scraped by in my freshman college year. Sophomore year started.

2000

Managed to become an Eagle Scout somehow, graduated from high school, had a catastophe in my head at the graduation dance, let my relationship with Christin evaporate, went to Sea Base, and started college at KU.

1999

This is the start of my senior year. Before the end of the school year, I broke up with Amy and started dating Christin.

1998

We did the big Rose Bowl parade in marching band at the start of the year. While I remember that Amy and I started dating as juniors, I don't remember if it was in '98 or '99. I'm pretty sure I have a website on Geocities by now, though.

1997

This is the start of my sophomore year in high school.

1996

We said farewell to Lucas, and I started high school.

1995

Our foreign exchange student Lucas started staying with us for the school year in which I was in eighth grade.

1994

Started middle school.

1992

We relocated from the duplex to the Pecan Lane residence that Dustin's family previously owned.

1991

Over the summer, we moved away from St. Charles, Missouri. I think Dad might have a year in advance for his new job? Our new home would be a duplex in Derby, Kansas.
