The new year has begun

Nothing much as happened worth writing about thus far since the year has begun. So, instead, I’ll do a quick recap of things that happened since my last missive.

Jessica and I had a very travel packed trip around the country so that we could be together over the holidays. I drove for [...]

I’m making progress

Since I last made a post the wheels have been put into motion… and they didn’t turn far.

We got our assignment and we don’t have to pack up our bags and move. We’re going to stay at McChord for the next few years. Along with my assignment I got my next pile [...]

On a somber note

Over the weekend I went north to visit some family. My aunt has been battling cancer for quite some time and has been in the hospital for a little more than a month. I was hoping to talk to my aunt while I was there but it wasn’t meant to be. Earlier last week [...]

Something different every day

We’ve hardly had any real downtime since I’ve been home and it isn’t a bad thing. We’ve been busy hanging out with the extended family, attending weddings, playing with the dogs, cleaning the house, and we’ve been having a great time doing all of that. We won’t have any slow days until sometime next [...]

The Happy Guy

If you’re reading this you’ve obviously been here before. Seldom does this website get random visitors so I know most of my audience. You’re aware of my temperament. You know that I like to rant and I fly off the handle with ease. This blog (in its various incarnations) has been a venue for [...]

The process is a little different this year

For the last two years I’ve traveled north with the Loveless clan to spend the Thanksgiving weekend in cold and occasionally snowy B.C. We ran dogs, played pool, board games, and ate as much of Paula’s food as we could cram down our gullets.

This year we’re spending Thanksgiving at our home but [...]

Feeling a little bit restless

On Saturday I woke up feeling like death warmed over. Jessica started feeling like garbage on Sunday morning. Since that time, we haven’t been able to do much. Sure, we scrounge for some food and leave the house to get the necessary supplies but we have to trade turns with the walker/shopping cart that [...]

It was quite fun

Over the weekend Jessica and I traveled across the country to mess with my parents and attend Grant and Sheena’s wedding. The second part of that sentence probably made sense but the first part should have you asking questions – let me divulge the details.

We’ve been planning on attending their wedding for more [...]

The Hap-Hap Happiest Christmas Since Bing Crosby Tapdanced with Danny F*ing Kay

Well, it’s all over. The turkey is demolished and the wrapping paper is in shreds. All in all it went pretty well. On Christmas Eve, my grandparents aunts uncles cousin parents sister and bro in law all came over for Christmas dinner. I cooked my 26lb turkey and it was really yummy if I [...]

Halloween

So last weekend John and I had our first Halloween party. We had spent all week getting food and decorations ready. It actually turned out pretty cool. We had the new beer pong table, spooky treats, and witches brew. Leanne and Jeff were great and made 100 jello shots for the party. It was [...]
