dang.  a lot's happened since my last post.  why even update?

so my lungs are burning right now. lara and i have decided to take the "body for life" challenge as our new year's resolution. it's pretty cool. it's a 12 week exercise and diet program. we both just feel like we don't do anything and we don't eat as well as we should. so the next time you see me i should look like vin diesel. what?

well, it's official. as of today we'll have a minivan! can you believe that? we needed a bigger car than the prizm for when the baby comes... and we figured that we should get something big like a minivan because chances are we'll have more than two kids a little later down the road. don't get me wrong, we plan on taking a break after this one ( Read more... )
