The Bucket List?
Okay, Jen and I went to see the movie, “The Bucket List.” This post is not a commentary on the movie, I will leave that to the experts, but about, well, just keep reading. The movie, as you may know, is about two old guys that are soon to “kick the bucket” and want to do crazy stuff. I had a slow day and Jen was able to get off work early, so we caught the 4:45 showing on this nice Thursday afternoon. We made it just in the nick of time and raced into the theatre. To our surprise, everyone in the theatre had just finished their early bird…

Party like its 1999
I was going through my old documents stored on my old computer (new computer story coming soon!) and guess what I came across… a Christmas letter written by Kenny to his friends and family in 1999. It made me smile. Since we are all friends and family here, I thought I’d share it… Well, what a year 1999 was! I managed to keep incredibly busy. Let’s do a month by month replay of what I managed to squeeze into last year: January – I started my second semester at Christian Heritage College (CHC) in San Diego, CA. I am a junior majoring in Aviation Flight Technologies (a pilot). I am…

Subway, Eat Fresh!
It was a dark and stormy night, actually it has been all weekend. So what do we do on a dark and stormy Sunday night? Well, let’s go back a few days…. we had purchased a bag of potatoes because wanted to have baked potatoes for dinner one night and everyone knows that you can buy two potatoes by the pound which runs you like $2.00 or you can commit and buy way more than you really need and get the 5 pound bag for only $2.98! (gluttony and overspending – we are good Americans!) We have two of the five hundred potatoes that we bought as bakers, so what…

Merry Christmas
Kenny was home for Christmas this year and we were able to spend 4 days hanging out and having fun. Saturday we went out on a date to see Sweeney Todd (we enjoyed it, but we are weird like that!) We spend the rest of the weekend doing a few projects at home and just enjoying not having to work. For our Christmas dinner we cooked up some King Crab… yum! Please note the lovely TV trays. Yep… I am a domestic goddess 🙂 Hey, at least we had the Yule Log on TV… that adds a touch of class don’t ya think?!? *** We hope that you all had…

Done with Christmas
This year we packed up our Christmas stuff sooner than most years… maybe because we decorated the day after Thanksgiving, maybe because our Christmas tree was a poster child for the “Fire Hazzard: Live Trees Ruin Christmas” campaign (seriously… one stray spark and our whole house was toast!) or maybe we were just taking our cue from Pilot… apparently he wanted us to know he was tired of the decorations and if we didn’t take them down, he would do it for us… How soon do you take down Christmas decorations? We know a little puppy dog who would love to help.

Kenny’s 30th
As you all know, last weekend was Kenny’s 30th Birthday! Saturday morning we woke up bright and early, jumped in the Prius and headed up to Hollywood. Our first stop were the La Brea Tar Pits. I hadn’t been there since the 4th grade when I was “researching” for my science project… “Trapped in Tar… Fossils from the Ice Age” (yeah, I won 1st place… I was a nerd!) Kenny had never been there so it was fun to walk around and check out the fossils and try to avoid the pits 🙂 Next we headed over to the Walk of Stars and had a look around before we jumped…

I turned 30
I turned thirty this past weekend. Only a handful of you can truly appreciate this. If you are more than a year away from turning thirty, then the gravity of actually transitioning from your youthful twenties into your true adulthood thirties is lost. If you have hit thirty already and are looking at thirty-five or forty or more, the gravity is again lost because you look back and say, “well, it isn’t that bad, at least you’re not turning forty” or something along those lines. It is small band of companions that I have here; a select few that can truly appreciate this feeling. Last year, when I hit twenty-nine,…
