Race day is over and it went really good! We’re tired, though, and it’s only 1pm. Here’s our recap: The day started early at 5:30am. I didn’t get much sleep because I stayed up all night watching UVA get pummeled by UMBC in the NCAA Tournament. Even though I only got a little over 4 … Continue reading Medal Time
Do you ever have just one of those weekends? A lot happens, new experiences surface, even a life milestone is accomplished? Well, last weekend was one of those. Lets start with the milestone. The kid finally got her ears pierced! She has always been set against getting them done. We would ask and hint and … Continue reading A Milestone Weekend
The kid got the results of her recent orchestra seating audition and they were pretty good. She moved up 9 chairs to 9th chair in violin 1 for the final concert of the season. We were all pretty excited because she had been working hard to improve on her last audition results. Now she has … Continue reading Results, Risk, and a Recommendation
Yesterday our daughter went to spend the weekend with her friend, which left us with a date day. A whole day and night just for ourselves. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the one thing on the agenda was to go out to O’Connor Brewery for their big St Paddy’s party. Bands, green, food trucks, green, dark beer, and green beer. But first… Continue reading “All the Green”
On this rainy, windy, cold, nor’easter March day, the first thing to come to mind is naturally baseball. Only 22 more days until opening day! Recently I was driving around somewhere and started thinking about catchers. A common thought, right? Specifically as to why they are such bad hitters. It’s just one of those things … Continue reading Catching Pie
So if I leave home in the morning to get to work on time I hit a bunch of traffic. I have to go right past the middle school when all their busses are leaving which blocks up the intersection and causes me to have to wait through multiple light cycles. Continue reading “That Dreaded OIC”
March 1st and it was 80 degrees today, but really windy. And big storms coming tonight. March really is coming in like a lion. It’s great, though, because I got to wear shorts to work for the first time in a while – which made it easier on my gym visit. No reason to drag a change of clothes in and visit the locker room. Life is so much better when you can wear shorts and flip flops all the time. Especially in the winter. Continue reading “In Like a Lion”
We’ve been on vacation! We are a little over a week into our time on the Jersey Shore hanging out at our family’s cottage in Ocean City, NJ. Continue reading “Summer Travels and Family Hanging”
Life’s been moving along this summer and the struggle has been on to not have every day be the same – so that the next thing you know the summer is over with nothing memorable happening. So in the first three weeks we’ve been having a summer movie series, a summer book club, been to a concert, gone to the pool, played mini golf, had a friend over for dinner, went for walks at the beach, had 4th of July in Williamsburg, and I replace one of our bathrooms’ floor and toilet. So I guess it’s been an eventful summer so far. The last few days fate decided to take over, though, and throw some memorable curveballs at us in which we had to make a decision. Did we make the right ones? Continue reading “Should we?”
