4 Mar 2006Playing the waiting gameIt has been more than a month since our offer on the house was accepted, but it still seems like forever until we move in. We must continue to hurry up and wait. Kelley is doing well at her new job and we continue to do well in school, though. The picture of the month for April is a visualization of what a male child of ours would look like. We got it done in one of those special picture machines at a Dave and Busters around here. Yet another reason why we might not have kids - don't you think he would be freaky looking?
Comment on/rate this...- 28 Feb 2006Our house and Kelley's new jobHoly cow! We found a house we want, we made an offer, and after some negotiations, we are buying a house! It is an awesome house! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a 2 car garage, a back deck, 2295 square feet, lots of storage space, and a huge finished basement. It is in a nice neighborhood fairly close to both of our workplaces. You can see the countdown to when we close on it to your right. Go look at some pictures of it at the bottom of this page. Until the listing comes down, you can see more on the house here. Speaking of work, Kelley just found out today she has been hired on to a new job at ConAgra Foods. It is closer to home, a more interesting and challenging job, and pays over $2 more an hour than her previous job. What a blessing!

25 Feb 2006FoodThis is one thing that most people struggle with. It is not like cigarettes where we can live without it. We need food to live. Too often people live to eat. There are many people who will tell you that they know the secret about what to eat and not eat. By just looking at the dieting section at a l
Read the rest...- 18 Jan 2006Work and SchoolI start a full-time job on January 23rd. I will be working at Interpublic Group (www.interpublic.com). I will be an Invoice Spot controller. This job is a step up for me. I have been searching long and hard for the right job and I found it. I can wear jeans every day. It should be a good fit for me. Starting a new job is one of the most stressful things people go through, so I am not looking forward to that part. All the more so because DJ and I are still plugging away at our bachelor's degrees and starting today, I am taking an Advanced Excel course through a local community college online. This will start me towards a Computer Applications Certificate. We are also helping out with our church so we are staying very busy. Pray for us, we need it.

I am also still trying to find full-time employment. I am being picky. I want to enjoy my work. It is important to me. DJ and I are also getting more involved with our church. We are a part of a couple's small group and have made some friends. We look forward to what God has in store for us this year. It should be a good one. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

DJ and I recently purchased an elliptical for our house. We are pleased with it. We no longer have excuses not to exercise. We can watch whatever we want on

The University of Michigan football team lost its fifth game of the year on December 28th in the Alamo Bowl against Nebraska. The five losses were by combined 21 points: by 7 to Notre Dame at home; by 4 to Wisconsin on the roa

So by default, I grew up watching football especially the Buckeyes. I remember going over to my dad's friend's house and watching the game. At first, I would watch the game upstairs by myse

You win by either reducing your opponent's life to 0 or by running him or her out of cards. It is rather easy to learn, but incr

I must admit though that I am mainly going home to see my dog Buckeye. GO BUCKS against 'that team up north'. It is a spirited household as the game approaches. DJ and I are watching the game at a neutral site. We thought it would be wise to have others around so no one gets hurt depending on the outcome of the game. I am passing the time in Nebraska searching for a job and meeting people through our new church. We will share more about that church soon.

There are many factors one must consider when searching for a job. I personally do not want to work for a place that is very far from where I live. I want to be challenged, but

I am not very surprised that the Sox won it, but I am shocked that it was a sweep. With all the pitching that Houston has, one would have thought they could at least get a game, especially at home. They just g

I remember going to mall with my mom and hanging out in the arcade watching people play Super Mario Bros. and Paperboy while she shopped. The real beginning, however, is when my friend, Joe

I have just put up a new blog section with my first blog entry. My college class requires me to come up with a questionnaire on the usability and quality of this site. Along with that, I am going to add a what's new section, a map of where Kelley and I have lived and visited, and expand other setions. One note on fantasy sports, Kelley recently won our last fantasy baseball league. I finished first in the regular season, but alas, that did not translate into a playoff victory.
