  • 2008

    Happy 2008! We hope the year has started out well for everyone. The holidays were great and we had a wonderful time spending it with our families. I had to work some of the holidays but we managed just fine. 2008 has been busy so far. I picked up an extra shift at the hospital…

  • Holiday Rewind

    Much has happened this fall (and now winter) that I haven’t posted on here. First, both Monica and I carved pumpkins. Monica’s was the ghost while mine was the spider which I think looked awesome. October became November, and in between bagging leaves, we managed to have great Thanksgiving meals at my uncle’s on Thanksgiving…

  • Merry Christmas!

    Just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We’re off to spend time with family, eat lots of food, and open presents. If you can, take some time out today to think about the proverbial “reason for the season” – the birth of Jesus Christ. He’s the real source of joy for this…

  • We’re going to be TV stars

    We didn’t make it downtown for the Macy’s parade, but we did manage to hit Manhattan on Black Friday to see the window displays. Macy’s definitely had the best, but they were all pretty good.
