I guess I just haven’t been into blogging the last few months. Maybe the zeal will come back one day. Here are some fun things we’ve done lately. 1. Started the garden/seedlings (yes, we are still looking for a house, so the garden thing is a bit of an issue). I’ve planted spinach and pea… Continue reading Lately

Snow Cave, Yes Please!
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a pretty big fan of snow. Luckily we live somewhere with an abundance of the white stuff, and it’s good for more than skiing and snowball fights. Saturday morning my friend Lewis McAll and I got an early start and headed towards our destination, Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond is located… Continue reading Snow Cave, Yes Please!
Anybody there?
Hello, is anybody there? Probably not, because I surely haven’t been here. Things haven’t been too interesting lately, and we haven’t taken many pictures, hence the lack of blog posts. Here is some new info for us. 1. I got a new job! I’m doing accounting at Save Our Youth, where Joel and I are… Continue reading Anybody there?
Christmas Trip
We had a lovely week in Nashville/Birmingham to celebrate Christmas. We spent a couple of days in Nashville, a couple in Birmingham, and then a couple more in Nashville. We spent some good time with family and friends, but we missed Joel’s brother’s family and my cousins (we can thank the job I got laid… Continue reading Christmas Trip

Night in a Box Followup
If you read my last post, you know that we slept in a box downtown on December 3. I am here to say that it was a great success! We heard some amazing stories from single moms about their trials in life and celebrated with them as they shared their triumphs. We heard the despair… Continue reading Night in a Box Followup
Night in a Box
Call us crazy, but this Friday night, we’re sleeping in a box downtown! We are raising money for a non-profit called Encompass that reaches out to single moms and kids who don’t have dads. These are the “hidden homeless,” as they, especially the kids, are often bounced around from place to place, maybe not knowing… Continue reading Night in a Box
We won, we won! Kind of…
When I posted here about entering the Chipotle costume contest, I didn’t expect to hear anything from them. I couldn’t believe it when I got an email today saying we were “runner runner-ups!” There was 1 grand prize ($2500), 5 runners up ($1000), and 20 of us who get a burrito party for 20! I… Continue reading We won, we won! Kind of…
Who are these people??
Every few months, I’ll check out the google analytics for our blog. This tells us how many visitors we’ve had, what countries people visit from, etc. Oh, and the best one is…what words people searched with in google that brought them to our site. I try to peruse these periodically, as they are sometimes hilarious.… Continue reading Who are these people??
Yay for family visits
A few weeks ago, Matt, Erin, and Evie came to visit. We had a great time hanging out and showing them around town. Next time they come, Matt will be outnumbered 3 to 1! 🙂 We visited Boulder and the wonderful farmers’ market there. We picked tomatoes at our house. And we visited Rocky Mountain… Continue reading Yay for family visits
