Welcome 2010

January 3, 2010

Note: I have been trying to post this blog entry for the past 2 days, but for some reason Windows LiveWriter is not feeling cooperative.  That is why this entry has no pictures.  Boo. We have spent the first few days of 2010 much like we spent the last few months of 2009 – working […]

2009 Year In Review

December 30, 2009

Looking back, 2009 was a pretty monumental year in the history of my life.  Thinking back, the months of January-April really were fairly non-descript.  I was really slack about updating my old blog account, so, the time is not accounted for – but, I would imagine that I spent a lot of time watching basketball […]

Twas the Night Before Christmas

December 24, 2009

  ‘Tis the season!  We took Gracie to meet SantaPaws a few weeks ago – she was totally unimpressed and was definitely trying to figure out the best way to flee (Note Santa’s grip of death around her neck to keep her in place).  Thankfully, she did not bite SantaPaws – so, maybe he will […]

The Big Move

December 21, 2009

After being totally panicked that the horrible weather (wind and rain) we woke up around 6AM to overcast/cold weather but thankfully no rain.  We made a quick run over to the house to drop off more clothes and then waited for the movers to show up around 8:15AM.

December 18, 2009

Because I live in southeastern NC, we are blessed with two seasons – hot and cold.  Sometimes we get cold and rainy – and if we are really super lucky, we get cold, rainy and windy.  This big storm that is blowing through NC is bringing snow to a lot of the state – but […]

Moving Sucks

December 17, 2009

Not that it is any big revelation, but, this whole packing up your life and moving thing totally sucks.  It does turn out, however, that having your personal trainer on speed dial when you have super heavy boxes to move is a really awesome thing.  Tom came over this evening and pretty much hauled every […]

Wallpaper vs. Humans

November 30, 2009

A few days after returning from Antigua, I decided that we would spend some time at the house over the Thanksgiving holiday removing wallpaper.  I HATE wallpaper with a passion – and this wallpaper in particular is even more spectacularly ugly than most.  My reasoning was that wallpaper removal (while it sucks and I swore […]

Antigua 2009

November 26, 2009

After 2 layovers (St. Maarten and Charlotte) and clearing customs 3 times – Danny and I returned from our Antiguan honeymoon thoroughly exhausted and glad to be back in the USA.  Navigating the Antigua airport upon departure was quite an event.  It really made us appreciate good old ILM here in Wilmington.  At any rate, […]

All My Bags are Packed…
