so...does anyone care to give me an update on what's been going on in Logan's life these past few months? I've been kinda busy and haven't really had time to catch up on all the different different titles.

Since Wolverine is in so many titles it's tricky pin-pointing what happens when and it sometimes takes a year or more to figure out a logical order of events. Best I can do is tell you what he's up to in current arcs of his various titles.
Wolverine is currently telling a sort of "What If?" story set 50 years in the future of an alternate reality where M-Day and Civil War never happenned. The events have no bearing on his overall continuity (but the story and especially McNiven's art are excellent!).
Meanwhile Wolverine: First Class is set about five years in the past (so while it's "in-continuity" it's also a "ret-con"). Summary: Wolverine is bitten by a werewolf (I'm betting he'll get better) and Kitty has to do something about it.
In Uncanny X-Men and Astonishing X-Men Wolverine is settling in to the new X-Men HQ in San Fransisco. In Astonishing teh team is investigating mutants from another dimension invading our dimension, and in UX-M it's the rise of The Sisterhood (apparently led by Madeline Prior, who is less dead than I'm used to).
In Wolverine: Manifest Destiny (a mini-series) Wolverine is trying to resolve unfinished business with the triads in Chinatown from 50 years ago. The antagonists from this arc are supposed to make an appearance in the upcoming Wolverine: Weapon X series.
In New Avengers the Secret Invasion is now over and the team held their first "meeting" to establish the new roster. They spent the rest of the issue in a futile search for Luke Cage's kidnapped baby. THis one's set in New York shortly after the final battle of Secret Invasion. Logan doesn't seem to have a problem working with Captain "Ameribucky" so far.
Just for kicks Logan is chasing around Limbo after Illyana Rasputin with a team of X-Men led by Nightcrawler in the X-Infernus mini-series.
Meanwhile Wolverine still leads X-Force (the killer X-Men) against Bastion and his techno-organically re-animated cronies in their own title (most recently to recover a sample of the Legacy Virus before it could fall into the hands of Cameron Hodge). The team is also appearing in Cable where they're trying to protect Cable and the Mutant Messiah baby from a renagade Bishop.
And Wolverine: Origins recently crossed-over with X-Men: Legacy to re-tell the story of Wolverine when he first joned the X-Men and just before. In present-time Wolverine managed to luir Daken out of hiding then had Bucky shoot him in the head with carbonadium bullets (to slow his healing factor). This left Daken with amnesia and Logan with a chance to do for Daken what Xavier had done for him. With Xavier's help they make Daken realize that Romulus killeds his mother and manipulated his whole life. Daken now seeks revenge on Romulus, not Logan (that still doesn't make them friends).
They're have also been a few one-shots recently, but I have no idea where they'd fit in continuity.

can someone tell me what happens to logan after the wolverine origins when logan burns the rose diary, what comics should i look for the following description i found on wikipedia
The character grows into manhood on a mining colony in Northern British Columbia, adopting the name "Logan."[22] Logan leaves the colony and lives for a time in the wilderness among wolves, until returning to civilization, residing with the Blackfoot Indians. Following the death of his Blackfoot paramour, Silver Fox, he is ushered into the Canadian military during World War I. Logan then spends some time in Madripoor, before settling in Japan, where he marries Itsu and has a son, Daken.
During World War II, Logan teams up with Captain America and continues a career as a soldier-of-fortune/adventurer. He then serves with the First Canadian Parachute Battalion[23] during D-Day and the CIA before being recruited by Team X, a black ops unit.
As a member of Team X, Logan is given false memory implants. He continues on the team, until he is able to break free of the mental control and joins the Canadian Defense Ministry. Logan is subsequently kidnapped by the Weapon X program, where he remains captive and experimented on, until he escapes, as shown in Barry Windsor-Smith's "Weapon X" storyline which ran in Marvel Comics Presents. It is during his imprisonment by Weapon X that he has unbreakable adamantium forcibly fused onto his bones.
Logan is eventually discovered by James and Heather Hudson, who help him recover his humanity. Following his recovery, Logan, this time under the supervision of Department H, once again works as an intelligence operative for the Canadian government. Logan becomes Wolverine, one of Canada's first superheroes. In his first mission, he is dispatched to stop the destruction caused by a brawl between the Hulk and the Wendigo.[24]
Later on, Professor Charles Xavier recruits Wolverine to a new team of X-Men. Disillusioned with his Canadian intelligence work and intrigued by Xavier's offer, Logan resigns from Department H.[25] It was later revealed, however, that Professor X had wiped Logan's memories and forced him to join the X-Men after Wolverine was sent to assassinate Xavier.[26]
please some one tell me the comics where this all can be traced

Logan didn't destroy Rose's diary. The camp cook went through Logan and Rose's cabin after she died and Logan had fled the camp. He tossed the diary in the fireplace as worthless, thus preventing Logan from learning the forgotten parts of his life she described until M-Day returned his memory. The exact order of events in Logan's life that follow immediately after Rose's death are a little fuzzy. Too many writers not following the same outline of Logan's past have made it a little confusing. Apparently Wolverine's life with Silver Fox now takes place after Logan encounters Creed for the first time in Japan. It's also not real clear anymore if this was before or after WWI.
Do you see the bracketted numbers in your quote from Wikipedia? Those are annotations of the source materail. If you go back to the wikipedia article and look at the bottom you'll see those numbers repeated next to the title and issue each piece of information is taken from.
The re-telling of Logan's departure from Dept. H was actually one of the better things to come out of Wolverine:Origins (and X-Men Legacy). It turns out that Wolverine fought Hulk in Canada on Romulus' orders, specifically to get Xavier's attention. His next mission was to be infiltrating the X-Men and killing Xavier. But Romulus underestimated the world's most powerful telepath - Xavier knew exactly what he was doing when he recruited Logan, and he knew exactly what Logan really was: a weapon made to kill superhumans. Xavier wanted Logan on hand in case any of his X-Men turned evil. (But even Xavier wasn't prepared of the sheer visceral reality of the violence Logan unleashed as he piled-up a mountain of bodies on their departure from Dept. H).
Later in Xavier's office Logan attacks Xavier and is telepathically paralyzed a split second before he can Kill him. Xavier's first memory-wipe of Logan was involuntary on Logan's part, but it also had an altruistic motivation: Logan was freed of Romulus' mental influence and conditioning for the first time in a century. But now Logan was a man who really couldn't remember his past. Later he and Xavier worked to restore his memory (Xavier still hiding his role in their removal) but by the end of their session Logan asked Xavier to supress the memories they had recovered becasue he preferred to start again with a clean slate. My favourite line from the "Sins of the Fathers' arc in Origins and Legacy was: "Congratulations, Chuck. Yer' a bastard, too.

Well maybe he was a bastard too but at least he and Logan worked together for something Logn wanted, so guess thats the better of the two evils.
