Greetings,

It’s become quite clear to me that Kate and I have given up on posting on this blog in favor of the many forms of social media that are quicker, faster and certainly more interactive.  We’d like to welcome you to participate in our lives using the services below where you can continue to read what’s going on, see pictures and be informed ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it’s June… the end of June.  It has been the fastest 6 months ever, I swear it’s March 3rd, but the calendar keeps arguing with me.

Dave and I have been feverishly working on the house, trying to get projects done whenever we have the time and energy.  We’ve successfully gutted the walls and ceiling of our kitchen, moved the light ( Read more... )

Indestructible, despite many peoples belief, does not mean that it can not be destroyed.  The dictionary definition provided by our mighty overlords at Google is,

• not easily destroyed
• durable: very long lasting

Our dog Molly has numerous toys that claim they are indestructible however fail to meet either of the definitions above.  She has managed ( Read more... )

As I am preparing to leave for vacation I am realizing just how powerful one website has become in my life.  I had become very stressed out over the staggering amounts of tasks I had to complete each day.  Using the traditional “todo” list was not helping and my todo lists were spanning multiple pages.  I was pointed in the direction of a great ( Read more... )

Kate and I will no longer be shopping from online retailer Buy.com.  Their customer service is horrible and they almost ruined Christmas for Kate.  The long story made very short:

Kate purchased an expensive gift for a family member from Buy.com.  The item was received with some flaws.  She tried to find a number to call them and discuss this and ( Read more... )

It’s hard to believe the last post I wrote was after we’ve had Molly for only a week.  We’re now a week shy of two months with her in our home and hearts and I honestly don’t remember life without her.

Molly is a joy 95% of the time  She has a very gentle and easy going personality.  While she is still hyper at times and can go crazy for attention ( Read more... )

Well, it’s now moving onto a week and a day since Kate and I picked up Molly, our Boston Terrier Border Collie mutt.  She’s an adorable, overly friendly and loving animal with a lot of energy but the ability to easily calm down and just “chill”.  She’s fitting in with Kate and I perfectly and hopefully in time the cats will learn to at least like ( Read more... )

This week I broke free of the jail created by Apple on their iPhone.  Overall I have to say I am very happy with it  While many break for things such as themes, no longer paying for applications, or using the phone for unsupported purposes; my reason was much different.

I made this decision because I learned that if I just simply modify a ( Read more... )

Well, it’s official.  We closed on the new house and are moving the majority of our belongings on Saturday the 19th.  That’s only four days from now and we’ve a lot of packing ahead of us.  Last night Kate and I completely emptied out our storage unit so that we could return the key and get 50% of this months rental returned to us.  We then began ( Read more... )

As stated in a this post Kate and I have been house hunting for a while.  We’ve had some pretty rotten luck with the entire process and have learned that it is true; nothing goes really smooth and easily in life.  Kate and I stayed strong, we were diligent and we refused to give up.  Finally, after months of stress that I can only equate to mental ( Read more... )
