20 Years Ago Today
On October 14, 1984, my family and I moved from Puerto Rico to New York City. I can’t believe it! Sometimes I feel that it was just yesterday and other times, it seems like an eternity ago. I still remember waking up really early for our 7 AM flight, the outfit I wore and also…

The Adventures of Monica – September 2004
As most of you know, I have gone back to school full-time, and I am very excited about it. However, it is definitely an adventure. I have made it through the first month but I have a long way to go. Adjusting to having NO life has been really strange. Watching TV, going to the…

Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Jetta
Back on June 12, Monica and I were smack dab in the middle of looking for a new house. We got up that morning, quickly ate breakfast, and took off to look at an attached home that just didn’t do it for us. As we mulled over that house, heading down the road to look…

I’m A Big Kid Now
I’m starting to enjoy being a homeowner, and that scares me. For some reason, I get great satisfaction out of fixing the little things that are messed up around the house. Whether it’s patching a little hole or running some cable down a wall, I feel good after doing it. Ten years ago, all I…

Home Sweet Home?
It still hasn’t sunk in that we’re actually “home” now. I keep saying “back home” when I refer to our old place, but I guess it will only be a matter of time before home becomes where we are now. And even though we’ve been in the new house for over a week, it still…

We’re Baaaaack
Yes, we’re finally back online. We’ve moved into the new digs and are smack dab in the middle of unpacking and getting settled. There’s nothing like living out of a suitcase for six weeks to make you appreciate having closets (although to be honest, we did have one closet to use). Thanks for letting us…

Move Along, Nothing to See Here
We’ve been promising you an update for awhile, but we’ve been so busy lately that we just haven’t had much time to write here. So what’s been going on lately? Aside from moving 200 miles away, starting a new job, and getting into a car accident in which we ended up at the hospital and…

Well, you have not heard from us in a little bit and I just wanted to say that we promise to update you soon on our latest adventures. We have a lot going on so stay tuned! Brian, Monica and Jack

Tales from a Drama Queen
I have to start by saying that people who know me know that I love my little car. It is one of my most prized possessions because it is the first car I ever bought brand new, and it has been very good to me. Yesterday, almost 4 1/2 years after I bought that wonderful,…

No More Ping Pong Balls
Captain Kangaroo is dead. 🙁 I remember watching this show as a child and loving it. My favorite part was always Mr. Moose telling knock-knock jokes and the hundreds of falling ping pong balls that would ensue. To a child, this was comedic genius. Heck, that’s even comedic genius to an adult. So long, Captain.
