If only I got frequent flyer miles

I’ve been working quite a bit and by work I mean flying people and cargo all across the planet. I haven’t made it to across the Pacific ocean yet but I’ve crossed the Atlantic quite a few times in the past few weeks. Since I started this job and really started flying (about 2 [...]

Our house is a very very fine house

It’s final. The paperwork has been processed and we own a house.

I’ll put some pictures up later instead of trying to explain it.

It’s got quite a few positives

1. decent commute (for both of us) 2. there isn’t anything wrong with it 3. it’s a decent sized place (2000 SF) [...]

Our monster

Neither of us has known brand of creature is growing inside of Jessica. Girl, boy, monster, alien, or unicorn are some of the suggestions thrown at us. Using all “indicators” we had a mixed bag on a guess. People kept on asking Jessica if she knew what is was and she didn’t have a [...]

It’s been a while

When I was a teenager I spent hours on end fixing broken computers and servers. As such, I’ve gotten pretty good at diagnosing if a problem is software or hardware related. Jessica’s laptop started to glitch about a month ago and the symptoms made me think of a dire diagnosis – the LCD panel [...]

Back home

After a long trek, I’ve made it back home. The drive was less than fun as there was nothing interesting out there. All I saw was miles and miles of miles and miles. I was worried in western Wyoming when I hit a patch of really bad road. I ended downshifting and coasting down [...]

JBB: Brewing

It’s no secret that I love beer. I know there is a god because he gave us all of the things we need to make beer. That said, I’d like to brew my own in the future. I have a working “know-how” but I’ve never done it before. In other words, the first time [...]

Almost through the first third

Jessica went to the doctor after work yesterday for a checkup. She said it was probably the shortest amount of time that she’s ever spent in a doctors office. She heard the heartbeat for all of three seconds, he asked her for a few questions, and they sent her on her way. She needs [...]

The BIG update

Presented in chronological order

January 10 – 2011

Jessica called me this morning. The first words out of her mouth “I’m pregnant.” Woah! That is one hell of a way to start a morning. We talked for a bit and I assured her that I was excited. In fact, I’ve had a hard time not smiling all day long. I am so happy about this. It’s going to be a bumpy nine months but I can’t wait for it. She told her best friend, Cassy, the good news and is holding off on telling more people the news until she gets official word from the doc. Life as we know it is definitely going to be different.

I’m going to be a dad.

Wow…
definitely pregnant

OKC with the wife

Jessica flew in last Friday so that we could spend the weekend together. It’s been a hectic year and a weekend in the middle of a three month stretch really helps to break up the “unpleasantness” of being apart. As I mentioned, she flew in Friday afternoon and I was hoping to meet her [...]
