holiday spirit

wow. that wind last night was SO POWERFUL that dave and i both fell asleep and woke up several times. then it got TOO quiet and i couldn’t sleep. it finally started raining again and i slept peacefully through the rest of the morning/night at that point. crazy. has anyone heard how fast those winds [...]

i had a long day today – my final card classes of the year. as i turned the corner to pull into the alley tonight, i saw him… our friendly, happy little snowman! he’s back! he found his way home (with dave’s help). dave found him down the street wrapped around the telephone box. well…. [...]


sonics win again

11th December 2006 | 1 Comment

we had a GREAT date night yesterday at the sonics game. the first half wasn’t much fun but the second half got really good – lead changes, good defense… the only bad part about the game was all the BAD calls from the refs… they were awful! yep. some of the worst we’ve ever seen! [...]


first date

9th December 2006 | 1 Comment

so among other things today, we purchased our Christmas tree! it’s currently in the garage overnight in a bucket of water….. hopefully any spiders and icky, crawly things will creep out over the course of the night. we’re hoping to bring it into the house tomorrow, but we might not get to decorate it until [...]


the snowman

8th December 2006 | 1 Comment

so last year we came home one day from …. um….. somewhere… and there was this christmas decoration on our front porch – an inflatable snowman! we had NO IDEA where it came from – a neighbor’s yard? a gag gift? what the heck? we later found out that dad & mom bought it and [...]

teaching

6th December 2006 | 1 Comment

teaching is hard work. let me tell you. yesterday was my SECOND day of tuesday card classes. i had a grand total of 22 or 23 students throughout all three classes (that’s a pretty good turn out, especially with 10 ladies at the evening class)! It’s hard to work to talk and juggle three groups [...]

YIPPEEEEEEE!!! i love this season. i love [...]


tom – all grown up

1st December 2006 | 2 Comments

it’s hard to believe that tom (dave’s youngest sibling) is a senior in high school this year. when dave and i got married over 4 years ago, tom was shorter than most kids in his class and he looked so small and frail. i remember linda spent months praying that tom would hit his growth [...]
