Geek Habitat

I wish I could say this post is my announcement that I’ve finally gotten off my duff and launched a WordPress blog for my mom, but I haven’t gotten there quite yet. I suspect her blog will be far more interesting and well-read than mine, so perhaps I’ve been dragging my heels to stave off the inevitable? Naw, I’ve just been a combination of lazy, distracted and busy. Mom, I love you and still owe you a blog and photo gallery. SOON, I promise!

No, this post is to announce the entry of another blogger from our extended family — Tim Morgan — and his newly launched website, Time With Tim. Tim is a long-time friend of Justin’s brother, Jason. I don’t know Tim well, but he came into my life while Justin and I were in the planning stages of our wedding nearly seven years ago. Tim officiated our wedding ceremony on December 12, 1998, at the quaint Thrift Memorial Chapel on the grounds of Trinity Baptist Church in San Antonio. At the time, I was so grateful Tim had been willing to travel all the way from North Texas just for our wedding. In 1999, he proved that had been no fluke by flying to Las Vegas, Nevada, to officiate Justin’s brother, Jason’s, wedding to Karen. The wedding was no ordinary Vegas wedding — we all hiked to the top of Mount Charleston in Red Rock Canyon State Park.

My favorite wedding ceremony will always be my own, of course, but there was something magical about hiking to the top of Mount Charleston and seeing another long-term couple commit themselves to marriage and one another. Of course, Jason and Karen now have a beautiful little daughter, Jillian Avery Moore. Justin and I have three cats. It’s all worked out well!

Anyway, check out Tim’s blog. As I said, I have to admit I really don’t know Tim that well, and I was blind-sided a year or so ago when I heard about the trials and tribulations that had occurred in his life since we last saw him. Reading his initial entries, however, I now have a better appreciation for the man whom we invited to help us begin our lives together as husband and wife. I am grateful that he has friends, such as Jason, whom have remained in his life for so many years. I can only hope that in 10 or 20 years, I too have such good friends.

Welcome to the world of ‘blogging, Tim. It’s good to “see” you again!
