Be Good Tico
My sweet puppy went to a new home last night. I feel sad, but I think that it will be better for him. Dogs are not really Katherine's thing, and though she tried, she was never really very tollerant of him (even though he was one of the sweetest dogs I have encountered). He is now with my friend Alaric, and his family. I hung out with them for a ( Read more... ) -
Well, here I am
So, I am half way through the second week of my professional ed core. It seems that I am never in the same classroom twice (even for the same class),and there is a lot of random running around in general. I have yet to have my finger prints taken, and technically they were due on Monday. I am hoping to get placed in Mollalla for student teaching. ( Read more... ) -
finally back in the real world
The bathroom remodel is complete. So far everyone who has seen it has loved it. It seems like it took forever, but really it was only a month. I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I guess I wont bore people anymore with rambling on about my bathroom other than to say that old clawfoot tubs are the best thing ever! Other news in my life, is that ( Read more... ) -
I'm not missing
It seems like it has been a long time since I posted last. I have been remodeling our bathroom. I removed a small wall, re-routed the toilet/gray water vent, tiled the floor, tore out the fiberglass tub, spent eight hours sandblasting our clawfoot tub, and another two hours on the feet themselves, and removed a fair amount of the drywall. Tomorrow ( Read more... ) -

seems o.k.
Katherine and I have spent most of the day together. It has been very delightful. Considering her work schedual, we don't always get all of the time together that we would like. That is often very hard for us both. In addition to being husband and wife we are also best friends; we were prior to marriage, and we continue to be now. When I only get ( Read more... ) -
Mom Visits
My mother is in town for a visit. It has been at least a year and a half since I have seen her last. She arrived yesterday with my niece and nephew in tow. I haven't seen them since I got married two years ago, so as you can imagine, I am very excited. The big surprise is that my mother also arrived with a gentleman friend, Frank. He seems to be a ( Read more... ) -
Baby's first pictures
Friday Katherine and I had to go for an ultrasound, or rather Katherine had to go for an ultrasound, and I got to be there. There has been some question as to how far along Katherine is. She had thought twelve weeks, but our midwife thought sixteen, or possibly twins. All were wrong on all accounts. as of last friday, Katherine was 10 weeks. She ( Read more... ) -
prema's idea
prema had a great idea in one of her postings, where she took some time to explain her interests. I liked the idea, and I hope she doesn't mind if I am not origional enough to come up with my own. Actually, what I liked about it was that it seemed like a good way to learn more about her, and thought that for anyone interested, they might want to ( Read more... ) -
What's with New Balance Tennis Shoes?
According to Prema, I am the only person in the live journal community with an expressed interest in New Balance Tennis shoes. I actually find this rather remarkable considering how they are the pinnacle of all tennis shoes in existence. They are one of the only tennis shoe manufacturers that make shoes expressly for people with wide feet such as ( Read more... )
