So Saturday, I had my HSBC baseball tournament. We had gone to JNC the other night (The dinosaur game there is super addictive), and hit the batting cages so that I could get some practice in, since I missed the last two team practices due to the road trip. I was pretty awfule, getting contact once in three trips. Jess begged for one more go ( Read more... )

So when we were driving back from Myrtle Beach, at some point my front license plate fell off. My dear fiancee has some concentration lapses on the way home, and a pit stop in North Carolina revealed it's death. I do distinctly remember upon purchasing the car, that the front plate wasn't too tightly screwed on, and basically forgot about it ( Read more... )

Soo, we are back home in Buffalo after spending the past 9 days touring the south in hopes of a new post marriage home. Outside of Louisville, it didn't rain at all during our trip. The moment we enter NYS, crazy thunder in the sky. Pull up to the apartment, and the wind starts whipping. 10 minutes later it starts downpouring. Within 10 ( Read more... )

Big long road trip is finally underway! First stop, Cincy to visit Alan, then off to Louisville! Bye folks!

We had quite a good weekend this weekend. On Friday, my mom took us out for a late birthday dinner for me. We had suggested a hibachi place, Shogun, and she said she had heard good things about a place called Fuji grill, so we tried that instead. What a revelation. You do kind of get the same thing over and over again when you go to a hibachi ( Read more... )

Great news!! We are going to Boston in September!! The weekend of Sept. 11-13th to be exact. This is where we are staying ( Read more... )

So we went to the taste of Buffalo today, our 3rd time together. We had Jessie's parents with us last year, but this year it was just us. When we got there, it didn't seem too crowded. That feeling lasted about 5 minutes. Yesterday it was horrific out, 30 MPH winds, and rain all afternoon. Apparently that means everyone and their mother ( Read more... )

Just an update for anyone in the know, Jessica is no longer my girlfriend.

She is my fiancee. Welcome to my crazy family my love. Hope you don't come to your senses :)

The good news is that I've been consistently running faster then I have earlier this year, and ever. Last year my best pace was in a race at it was a 9:38 mile. Lately I've been running around that pace. Tonight I ran at a 9:02 pace. The problem is that I've been averaging about 2 laps (2.3 miles) usually, which is frustrating, because I try ( Read more... )
