First Solo Project

Ian is flying solo with the faucet switch. I think it's his first non-computer/technology related house project.

Ian's Future Desktop

Ian and I are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Diablo III... It comes out on May 15th. But the title of this article says it all.

It's less than two weeks before the release of the most eagerly anticipated PC (and Mac!) game of the year. Some of us are pretty excited about it. This guy is way beyond that. Read More »

House Flippers

When purchasing the new house, we signed an agreement that said we couldn't sell the house until a year after closing. This didn't bother us since we have no intention of ever moving! As time goes on, it becomes completely clear which neighbors bought a house just to flip it. For Sale signs are popping up all over the place (4 just in our little section). I'm sure there are one or two people who are selling because they aren't happy. But today we stumbled on a few real estate sites with pictures. It's clear the ones who didn't intend to stay long.

I decided something after viewing the pictures. I love my house. I have excellent taste. Other people.. not so much. =P

Take for instance this living room.... yeah....


As Ian asked... why put down a fuzzy rug the same color as the carpet??


This entertainment center isn't bad... but ours is amazing compared to it. I find it kind of boring.


I'm not sure about this room. Black curtains, brown floor, multi-colored rug.. and brown baby puke couch. Nice.


Yup... I love my house. <3

May 3, 2000: Geocaching Gets Geeks Going in Great Outdoors

Twelve years ago today, Geocaching got its start. I'm hoping that this spring/summer Ian and I will be able to hunt down some Geocaches... Last year was spent eagerly anticipating our move into the new house. This year I'm ready to do some hunting! There seem to be a couple caches within walking distance. Can't wait!

Patriots In Lego Form = Awesome

Spotted!!

The first bird in our yard. Yes, we are strange people but this was super exciting this morning. We haven't had much wildlife near our property yet. We've seen a skunk... but that's about it. There are geese, ducks, and heron down by the pond... but nothing close to our house. Ian spotted the plump little robin after breakfast this morning... hopping around our backyard. It was a momentous occasion. :)


We hope... very soon... we will have trees or maybe even a bird feeder for us to attract more birds to our yard. My milkshake doesn't bring all the birds to the yard. (Bad Joke)

We've Got Mail!

We received the most awesome card of awesomeness yesterday. You're welcome Maxie!
