Don and Mike
Back when we lived in Northern Virginia, Monica and I used to listen to a radio show called the Don and Mike Show. I started listening to the show about nine years ago and was quickly hooked, and Monica started listening not too long after that. It’s hard to describe why I listened as much…

Six Months

One and a half days off
I took off a half day yesterday and all of today, and it’s been great. We went to the Dave Matthews concert last night (absolutely no political rants, thank goodness), and had a great time with Bucky, Steve, and Tanya. Before the show, we cooked out some grub on the grill and listened to some…

Busy, Crazy, Lazy
That is how I describe our lives lately. We are sorry that we don’t update the web site very often, but we promise to get better at it soon. Brian the computer geek has been doing all kinds of nerdy things that I don’t understand to update the web site and make it better and…

Another New Year
Well, another year has come and gone. The holidays are just about over now, and Monica and I are truly blessed to have so many family and friends that care so much about us. Last year was pretty eventful for us with the car accident, changing jobs multiple times, buying a new house, and Monica…

You choo-choo-choose me?

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. We’re thankful for… …God providing and watching over us each and every day. …each other. …our quirky dog,…

Butt-Whoopin’
Last Friday night, I was forced to see what is quite possibly the worse movie of the 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…

One Ring to Rule Me
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 of the…

Where You Bean
Yeah, I know. I haven’t posted in awhile. What can I say? Things have been a bit…interesting…to say the least lately. I’ve spent most of my time the last few weeks working on our house. I’ve painted and painted and painted and finally, I decided to paint some more. I’ve also planted some grass seed…
