I’ve got a wedding to go to this weekend up north, so I’ll be offline until Monday, most likely. Everyone have a good post-July 4th weekend! Don’t kill me if you see me on the interstate!
My long painful weekend
I had Friday off of work and had planned to do some stuff to the house in addition to having some fun, too. Man, I was not prepared for the amount of brutal damage my body would be subject to over a three day period. Friday: Art Festival. Walking around in sandals for a couple […]
Happy birthday, Amanda!
I’ve got to take a moment to say a quick happy birthday to my wonderful wife, Amanda. She turns [AGE REDACTED] today, and–if at all possible–she has become even more beautiful, captivating, amazing, and inspiring than she was the day I met her nearly ten years ago. Happy birthday, sweetie! I love you! (I would […]
Who are you? Where am I?
I’ve always had a bit of a lousy memory. But there must be something in the air these days, because lately, I have completely and absolutely lost any and all ability to recall just about anything. In just the past week, I’ve forgotten to call people to set up appointments (such as our realtor — […]
The glow in the dark stuff was the worst…
This really happened tonight. My wife called me just as I was leaving work and let me know that a huge storm had just passed over our town and was quickly working its way east towards Des Moines. She advised me to stop and get indoors. So, what better stop could there be but a […]
Good weekend ahead
Hopefully! A nice, relaxing weekend is in store for me and mine. Father’s Day means getting pampered! And along the way, pampering my own father. We’re planing a gigantic family outing Sunday. We’re all getting together for our once-every-five-years family photo, and then treating dad to dinner at Champp’s. Since the house is all clean […]
Showing house tonight!
The couple next door to us buy investment properties, and are interested in taking a look at our house. Hope and pray! We would love to sell soon, and selling without a realtor would be 7% better than with.
Homeowners (again)
Well, we did it. We signed our lives away once again. My wife and I signed the papers to purchase a brand new townhome in Waukee last night. The deal is obviously contingent upon us selling our current home. But in order to pull that off, we need to get in gear and get the […]
Happy birthday, Kevin!
My wonderful friend Kevin–one of only two groomsmen at my wedding–finally turns 30 today, several months after me. Kevin has been living the high life out in LA, working hard at becoming a struggling actor/producer. Uh, no, that’s not him. No, not him either. Ah, there he is! Well, anyway, he’s my friend, and today’s […]
Do not adjust your sets
Yes, I’m playing around with the templates. Anyone who knows me knows that I have to change up the look of the site at least once every quarter. Thoughts?
