Mushy Stuff
Happy Valentine’s Day to the bestest wife in the whole world! It was a pretty low-key one for us this year. Just exchanged some cards and some small gifts. But of course the greatest gift is the fact that we have each other. Right? I don’t think I’ll get away with that for too long.…

The Day After Phil
This is a day late, but I hope everyone had a good Groundhog Day and watched the movie like you were supposed to do. Is it snowing in space?

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…

Linus Had It Right
“And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid… And the angel said unto them, “Fear not! For, behold, I…

You choo-choo-choose me?
I finally got my train up and running, after years of sitting in a broken-down box, season after season tucked away in an attic. I tried to get it working a couple of weeks ago. There engine would run, but the gears wouldn’t turn, so I dropped it off at a local train store to…

But I Don’t Want To Be A Pirate!
This past Saturday, we took a day trip up to our old stomping grounds, Washington DC. We have gone down to see the National Christmas Tree for the last seven years, and we didn’t want to break that streak. While we were up there, we also checked out our favorite museum at the Smithsonian, the…

That Time of Year
We put up the Christmas tree today, as well as various other decorations. We still need to decorate the outside, and obtain some other decorations for the rest of the house (including a new tree topper). I can’t believe it’s already Christmas time, but now that it’s here, we’re ready to enjoy it.

Thankful
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,…

Driving No Mas
For the first time in fourteen years, I do NOT have to drive anywhere out of town for Thanksgiving. Hallelujah! It wasn’t so bad driving back and forth from school, as I was doing the driving while most everyone else was working. The last few years, however….well, it always seemed as if the entire East…
