Who’s crazy?!! Some people think that I’m obsessed with things like Starbucks coffee, big fantasy novels, the X-files, peanut butter M&Ms, et al… And the people who think this about me are 100% correct! Christmas (i.e. the material side of it) came a little bit later this year than usual, but OH BOY, DID IT…

Man, we’ve got some good friends! This week we got three packages. One from North Carolina, one from Austria, and one from Everett, WA. It’s hard to give awards for merit when we get bombarded like this… (Also, I realized that this bfotw system is somewhat faulty and unfair since so many of you give…

Well…did you miss me? You’d better have responded with a resounding, "Yes!" to that question rather than a somewhat confused, "What? Were you ever gone?" It’s been three days since my last blog post. I guess things got busy this week (in a good way…) Did you ever have one of those days where it…

Last weekend we celebrated our first official weekend where absolutely NO workers came into our home! We relaxed, we drank good coffee, we pretended like it was a typical American weekend for us (i.e. for us a typical weekend means lazy), and it DID WONDERS!

My loyalties have a price, for sure! This week’s winner of "My Absolutely Best Friends in the Whole World" goes to Peter & Genevieve (Amy) Dibley currently residing in the greater Chicago area.

The last few days I’ve actually had a mild case of writer’s block. I’ve wanted to write something thought-provoking or humorous or simply expound on some idea I’ve been having lately, but not a lot has come to mind. When this happens, that usually means it’s time for me to make a list… Since my…

28 left to go… Congrats to my good friend Brent! Condolences to his dear wife Shawna… (You guys are either very brave or very deranged. I’ll choose the latter and present this picture as Exhibit A.) All joking aside, Yeti and family are happy for you guys! Unfortunately, we’ve run short of female offspring for…

On the heels of our M bags, we got our 5 tubs of belongings. Almost all of our wordly possessions. I couldn’t believe that they weren’t opened (or they didn’t appear to have been.) They were all accounted for and they all came at the same time. It was good to get our hands on…
