One Year Blogging

It's been exactly a year since my first blog entry.

I'm happy, that I still find some time to write some lines for it, though much has changed in my life: I married my love, Maria, in July 19th (her birthday) after living together with her for over 6 years and now we're awaiting our first child in the following weeks. If you want to know what happens around this great event take a look at "Spring 04" (in german), where our son tells the story with his own words ;-).

Enjoy,
