Doggie Wheelchair?
Today was that time of year again when I took our little Jackaroo to the vet for his yearly examination. As he gets older, the anxiety related with this appointment increases because I’ll never know what the vet is going to say. In the last year he has completely lost ALL of the fur from…

An Emotional Outburst
A week or so ago, Brian came home late because he was busy at work and I totally cried like if he had done the worst thing in the world. He looked at me like I was insane and with a child-like voice told me that he totally didn’t mean to hurt my feelings but…

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…

ACC Champs and more?
Virginia Tech won another ACC Championship on Saturday, it was awesome! It was really sweet getting revenge on Boston College, sticking it to the Heisman wannabe, Matt Ryan. We really made them look silly, and it was glorious. I thought that was going to be the extent of my rooting for the Hokies this weekend…

Thoughts on the April 16th tragedy
A couple of weeks ago, I attended an event sponsored by the Tidewater Chapter of the Virginia Tech Alumni Association. There, a man by the name of Dr. James Robertson (an Alumni Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech) gave a speech entitled “Reflections of the Civil War”. It was fantastic – I find myself enjoying these…

Summer Update
Brian and I went on vacation in May. He was supposed to write about it but I think he has given up on updating this website. We visited Disney World, Epcot, Sea World (which I’d never been to) and MGM studios. We had a great time and I loved meeting Shamu! After we came back…

House
And there’s another anniversary today. No, I’m not talking about this one, although that is very cool. I’m talking about our first house. It was one year ago today, that we signed the documents and became homeowners. It was quite a big step for us, and it’s not exactly comforting sitting in a room with…

Newlyweds no more
Man oh man, I cannot believe that it’s been two years since we were married. So much has changed since then. We’re in a new town, new job, new school, new car…well, just about new everything. [now for the mushy stuff] And I have somehow managed to find new love for my wife. I’m incredibly…
