We put our lights up over the weekend. The biggest additions from last year are the red and green lights on each side of the garage and the icicle lights above our bedroom window. It was quite fun being up high on an extension ladder. 🙂

Weekend in Eden Prairie
We had a great time visiting Andrew, Holly, Ella, and Lily in Minnesota this weekend. My parents also made the trip. There were plenty of things going on. First, we took a family photo (all eight of us). I don’t have it ready to share yet, but I think it turned out great. Holly, who […]
Homecoming
In celebration of the Northwestern football team’s upset victory at Iowa today, I think it’s time to post about our visit to NU two weeks ago. It’s been nine years since I graduated, and six years since Jenelle graduated. We walked around campus for a while, making a special stop at the bench where we […]
As the leaves turn…
We’re doing plenty this month, but not much of it is blogworthy. We’re both involved at Kenosha Bible Church with various activities. I attended a men’s retreat in Lake Geneva last weekend, which was a nice, relaxing time. For the first time, I played disc golf. It’s harder than you think. I also got to […]

Not much new with us lately, but we’re doing well. In case you’re looking for more content, here’s some photos from a marathon I ran last month. Also, be sure to read Jenelle’s post from her trip to D.C. a few weeks ago. It includes a link to some great photos. Enjoy!
In The CLEAN Garage
You might recall this post from a few weeks ago. I am pleased to report that we have just about everything conveniently organized in our garage, and now we can easily fit both cars in. We’ll probably be able to fit our deck furniture as well. Besides Jenelle’s celebratory pose above, you are welcome to […]
The Showdown, Part 2
This post is WAY overdue. After my narrow victory at Settler’s Mill on June 7, Andrew and I arranged for a rematch. We ventured to Armstrong Park on July 5 for the next chapter in our competitive endeavors in miniature golf. Watch highlights from the event. While I was hoping for another down-to-the-last-hole edge-of-your-seat thriller, […]
Jenelle and Sarah Do DC
Last weekend, I went on a weekend trip to Washington, DC with my college roommate Sarah. More photos from the trip are up on our shutterfly account here. We arrived on Friday morning and spent the day walking around the National Mall and visiting a few of the Smithsonian Museums. We saw the rockets at […]
A decade
About 10 years ago was when Jenelle and I first met, during New Student Week at Northwestern. While I don’t recall the exact encounter, it most likely occurred in a big group that was gathering outside NU’s Foster-Walker Complex to go to a social event sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. I was doing my […]
The Heart of a Champion
This post takes us back about a week. On Sunday, August 30, we were in Minnesota, finishing up a weekend of fun with Andrew and Holly and the girls. After a party with tons of people on Saturday, we had some time for fun in a much smaller group. The eight of us (Ben, Jenelle, […]
