So, we moved to Seattle. We are loving it! Nick is working for Google, and that seems to be going well. The cats finally made the trip out on Friday morning, so the place feels a bit more like home now ( Read more... )

Well, we're moving from Pittsburgh to Seattle. I guess that's the big news. House is on the market after much work. We got a crappy offer a couple days ago, so we are waiting to hear back on our counter-offer. Nick should have just landed in Seattle for two all day interviews this week ( Read more... )

We just got back from a few days in Tampa, and before that we were in Charlotte for a couple days. There are no leaves on the trees here.

And, no, I don't expect to get rich doing it! I've just found myself really believing that this is how I can make a difference. Sort of like I feel like I have ( Read more... )

On my way home today, I decided to see if I could find a garden center that someone had been raving about last week. She didn't know the name of the place, but she knew the guy's name was Sam ( Read more... )

After Saturday night, Jack was moved back into a critical care unit. He had been taken off the ventilator Friday afternoon and moved out to a progressive care unit late Saturday afternoon. During the night, he had trouble breathing and was re-intubated and moved into neuro critical care. When we arrived early that morning, he was back in his ( Read more... )
