I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at hurricane forecasts even though I live far from the Atlantic coast. It’s interesting that, with all the technology we have today, we haven’t found a way to reduce the huge impact of tropical storms. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone whose lives have been […]

Dinner with Nick & Iz
Jenelle here… Ben’s grandparents, Nick and Isabelle, celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary back in July. It took us a while, but we finally took them out to dinner to celebrate. We’ve only been out to dinner with just the two of them a couple times, but everytime we go we’re reminded just how well-loved they […]
Wishin’
Here’s a photo from the Walk for Wishes that Jenelle and I attended on Saturday morning. We had lots of fun, and we helped support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin. I thought it was an appropriate time to update my wish list, so I did that. Enjoy!
Walkin’ Season Already?
Last Saturday: Happy Birthday, Gina! Last September and October, I participated in four fundraising walks. This year, the number might actually increase. The fun begins this Saturday at the Milwaukee Walk for Wishes to benefit the Make-A-Wish foundation. Jenelle and I will both be participating. We’re not going to do a lot of bugging people […]

I’m one day late on these: Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad! Happy Anniversary, Andrew & Holly! I added one April event to the history site, which will continue to get PR in this weblog. Can you guess on what day the event occurs? Hint: The day has a 2 and a 6 in it. 🙂 […]
Thirsting for more?
I had the craziest dream last night. I was extremely thirsty. I recall being at many different locations drinking every available flavor of Gatorade. To my surprise, nothing would quench my thirst! On some Monday mornings, it’s very difficult to get out of bed without hitting the snooze button on the alarm a few times. […]

Jenelle was the most beautiful flower girl I’ve ever seen. 🙂 I took 140 photos throughout the course of the trip. After I […]
Ready for the Big Day
Yesterday: Happy Birthday, Eric! Eric and his wife, Gina, are expecting their second child any day now. Prayers for a smooth delivery are in order. Things continue to be exciting here in Oregon. The rehearsal was at 10 a.m. yesterday morning, and a meal at the Old Spaghetti Factory followed. The wedding is at the […]
I’m So Exciting
Our travels to Oregon yesterday were fairly smooth. The only trouble we had is that our luggage did not get successfully transferred from the MKE-ORD plane to the ORD-PDX plane in time, so our bags were delivered to us this morning. No big deal at all. Speaking of the luggage, here’s an interesting tale from […]
