Weekend Getaway

November 4, 2008

Update: We’ve posted the pictures here Rachel and I had a wonderful time last weekend. We were able to spend the weekend in a cabin in the mountains that some friends of my family own. They were nice enough to let us stay for free too! Aside from the relaxing, watching a few episodes of […]

Hacked

February 29, 2008

Problem: The only “chairs” we have for our computer are actually stools, because the table it sits on is too tall for regular chairs. This was cause for back and butt pains for anyone seated at the computer for any length of time. Solution: Philip and Jamie gave us stool-chair things (cushioned stools with seat-backs). […]

Sunny Skys and Apple Salad

February 13, 2008

If you were here in Southern Colorado, and you looked out the window, you would never guess that we’re supposed to get a snow storm tonight. It’s nearly sixty degrees today and I love it. So I celebrated this reminder that spring is coming by going to Panera bread for lunch. Now we’re on a […]

Good Idea – Bad Idea

January 29, 2008

It’s amazing how an idea can seem so flawless, and then cause a completely unforeseen, yet perfectly logical conclusion. Ok, so here’s the idea: We have a squeezable, bear-shaped, honey bottle. I need to get honey out of the honey bear, but there’s not much left, and at this rate, it’ll take 3 days before […]

Residence

January 26, 2008

Well, it’s official. Rachel and I are both bona fide residents of the good ol’ state of Colorado. I guess I never stopped being a resident, but now Rachel has finally turned to the CO side: Of course, she is still clinging to her heritage, and will still tell you she’s a Michigander, not a […]

And the Raine falls down

November 8, 2007

Well, since Raine is the most exciting thing in our lives right now, I guess it makes sense for her to dominate our blog too… This particular post is about how she loves to “help” me type. First of all, she always wants to be up on my lap while I’m on the computer… her […]

The Rule of the Receptionist

October 22, 2007

Most days I enjoy my job, at least mostly, but not this morning. Sometimes Mondays just really throw me. However this morning the “Rule of the Receptionist” was on my side. The rule states that when a person in a particular department brings in, or orders out food for said department it/they must inevitably walk […]
