I have kept myself busy for this Labor day weekend; however, I haven’t done any actual work. Saturday I went to Smyrna’s fifth annual Hops and Barley Beer Tasting with Will and Zac. This was my second year to attend the festival. The even was a lot of fun but the heat made it a difficult to really enjoy it. Last year we discovered an amazing ice ( Read more... )

I really enjoy the number of ways that Google provides employees to show their appreciation to other Googlers. Earlier this week I came into work and noticed a gnome sitting on my desk. I was a little confused and questioned why it had migrated desks. I was instructed to check out the url inscribed on the hat and upon visiting I learned that the ( Read more... )

We celebrated Sean’s birthday last night and I finally got back into my photo habits. We started at D&B but left for Sidelines after everyone was tired of paying $7.50+ for shots and $5.00+ for beers. Me and Jenna brought a lot of tickets saved from a previous visit and I won a few hundred more while there. We searched the prizes for something ( Read more... )

This years fourth of July was extremely mild, and frustrating at times, but still enjoyable. I’m amazed that I didn’t purchase or shoot any fireworks this year since that is normally a tradition which Jenna has despised ever since being burned by a mortar.

Instead I spent a lot of time working on the house and my car. I have a lot of small house ( Read more... )

I have wanted to purchase a shotgun for several months and I finally decided to purchase one today. I chose the Mossberg 500 “Persuader” after doing a bit of research, I was torn between it and the Remington 870. After seeing both in person I instantly knew which was the right weapon. One important feature was the safety; the Mossberg’s safety is ( Read more... )

This was the first relaxing weekend I have had in numerous weeks and I hope it isn’t the last. I had plans to accomplish a few things but they were overlooked and I don’t really mind. Friday night started out with dinner at Orient Express with Jenna, Will, Amy, and her boyfriend Doug who I had yet to meet. Dinner was good but the long conversations ( Read more... )

Me and Jenna made an offer on a town home in Acworth earlier today. We will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to find out if the builder accepts our offer but we are nearly certain they will accept. We stumbled across the neighborhood while looking at a long list of houses our Realtor provided. We looked at the models and fell in love with one ( Read more... )

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with owning a town home? Me and Jenna found an amazing town home within our budget and are seriously thinking about purchasing it. I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions regarding them.

This valentines started off pretty dull. Sure, there were pink biscuits and grits at work but I wasn’t really feeling the holiday. When I got home I walked in and saw a huge cake in the shape of a heart that Jenna had made for me. It was extremely sweet of her and just reminded me why this is the last year I will be not be married for Valentines. ( Read more... )

I had the prospective house inspected today and things don’t look good. As we went through the home with the inspector we found a lot of shortcuts that the homeowner has taken. There were numerous problems that I don’t want to fix myself and I’m certain they will not consider fixing. Most of the problems were found outside and ranged from problems ( Read more... )
