2009: Year in Review

Well I guess it’s about time I write about what has happened in the last 12 months. This past year has been the biggest year of changes in my life thus far. Here is the rundown:

  • Started January at IWU, my final semester of college, living off campus (since September 2008)
  • February 25th I joined Twitter
  • In February I began my job search
  • February 16th I took and passed the Zend PHP 5 Certification
  • In April I was hired by FORUM Credit Union
  • April 25th I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a B.S. in Computer Internet Development
  • April 26th I moved to Indianapolis, IN
  • April 29th I began my new job at FORUM
  • May 21st I proposed to Katie Stipe, and she said YES!
  • In August we had engagement photos taken
  • June, July, August, September and October was a blur of wedding preparations
  • October 17th I got married! (photos)
  • In December we took a vacation to Disney in Florida (I hadn’t been there since I was 6)

It has been a great, full year.  I’m very much looking forward to a slower yet just as fulfilling 2010.

You should follow me on twitter to get the latest from 2010.

Zend PHP 5 Certified Engineer

I took the Zend PHP 5 Certification exam today and I passed! That makes me the newest Zend PHP 5 Certified Engineer in the world! (I know its a mouthful so I’ll understand when you don’t refer to that title). This means I am certified to know the syntax and usage of the PHP language. On to bigger and better things!
