On the Week 2 blog post, we shared the list of items that were still owed to us by the builder. Almost 4 months in, the crew has barely tackled a few of the items, and many we did ourselves to shorten the list and get the ball rolling. The fence is still uneven and […]

What I Do Is Not Up To You

Originally posted on Mrs. Enginerd – Nerd Whisperer:
Diana turns to Steve and exclaims: “What I do is not up to you”. This phrase has been around for a long time and it defines Wonder Woman perfectly. She doesn’t need anyone to tell her what she can and cannot do, and most importantly, is an…

And Then There Were Two…(and a dog)

When we got married, we thought children would follow quickly. Unfortunately, our first attempt to produce an heir was not successful and the road to figure out if we could become parents naturally was so uphill, and expensive, we decided to take a breather and enjoy the view.

I remember when… (A Poem dedicated to the 80s)

I remember when NASCAR didn’t have Truck Races, Dale Earnhardt was still Intimidating, Jeff Gordon had Rainbow Warriors, And Jimmy Johnson had no championships.
