I put up our outside Christmas lights today: some along the roof line and some in the bushes.
I know some people don’t like any sort of Christmas decorations while it’s still November, and I used to agree with them. In fact, I don’t remember putting up decorations until the first or [...]

What a sweet, sweet victory today.
We put up the Christmas tree today, as well as various other decorations. We still need to decorate the outside, and obtain some other decorations for the rest of the house (including a new tree topper).
I can’t believe it’s already Christmas time, but now that it’s here, we’re ready to enjoy it.
As I sit here watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (can’t get enough of those NBC stars, huh? :whocares: ), I can’t help but ponder the things that Monica and I are so thankful for this year.

This past Friday night, we saw what is quite possibly the best movie of the year.
And then on Saturday, we had a marathon Christmas shopping session where we bought almost all of the gifts that we [...]
I decided to finally test out our fireplace yesterday, and it was a major success.
That is, after a couple hours of burning newspaper and paper bags. Turns out it’s a little tough to burn wood that’s been sitting out in the rain.
But once it got going, it was an awesome experience. [...]
Thank God there are people brave enough in this world to defend the freedom that all of us in the good ol’ USA enjoy every day. My grandfather was a vet, my dad is a vet, Monica’s dad is a vet, and we have friends that are future vets…heck, Monica’s a vet too.
Here’s [...]
Pretty much immediately after I got married, my wedding ring morphed from beautiful yellow and brushed white gold into a dented piece of gold colored metal. I guess I’m just really tough on rings. I’m not sure how it happened, whether I subconsciously tap it constantly or what, but I suspect the majority [...]
