Incredibly Shrinking Jack
Our little Jackaroo had his annual check up yesterday and is doing okay. Since he’s getting on in years, I worry every time we go to the vet. Last year she told us he was chubby and that we should put him on a diet. Well we did and I am happy to report that…

47 Days and 13.1 Miles
47 days. That’s all I have left to go in nursing school and I can’t wait to be done. I have been going to school full-time for 3 years now and I can almost see the end. This last semester is harder than I expected and time management has been an issue but hopefully I…

Satellite vs Cable
We just had Directv installed, and I am already loving it. I’m currently watching the Hokies beat up on Miami (twenty more free throw attempts) on some sort of alternate Comcast Sports Net channel. I wouldn’t have been able to watch the game with Cox Cable. The Hokies aside, we finally have high definition shows…

This and that
Things have been moving pretty quickly since the beginning of the year. It was really difficult getting back into the swing of things at work – very tough when you’ve been off a week and a half. I really enjoyed our time off, so it made it that much worse to have to go back…

Holiday Recap
I hadn’t posted much over the month of December so here’s what we did. We started off riding in style while celebrating my Mom’s 60th birthday, and then made our our annual trip to DC to see an old friend and the usual Christmas decorations. Then we went over to see my Dad and Marlene…

Happy New Year
I guess it’s about time to wish everyone a happy new year so…Happy New Year! I haven’t updated much lately because I was off the entire week after Christmas, and we spent much of the time relaxing and taking day trips. I received a ton of great gifts, and as always, everyone was extremely generous…

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…

Our TV clip
So did anyone catch us on the Holidays Windows show on HGTV? I know our friends Steve and Tanya saw us, and we received phone calls from our parents almost immediately after the show. We certainly were the hit of the show – all 2 seconds of us. I especially liked the poorly edited “That’s…

You old crow!
My mom turns 60 today. My uncle hired a company to put a big sign and a bunch of crows and candles in the yard. Take a look. So far, I’m the only one he hasn’t gotten yet (Bill and Monica were hit this year and last year). Happy Birthday, Mom!

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. You can check out the pictures here. We walked all over downtown, and I even got my roasted chestnuts that…
