First Thanksgiving in a Nutshell

I believe this was the first Thanksgiving that my family has had that had less than 8 people! We had a lot of room at the table; it was weird. The reason the attendees were so few is because two cousins are overseas, my brother had to work, Van is sick, and another cousin went [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yay! It’s Thanksgiving!!!
That means Christmas is literally right around the corner; there are only 32 days until Christmas!
We’re celebrating Thanksgiving at my Grandma’s in Deale, where dinner will be on the table at 3pm. Greg and I are going to leave around noon to head down. That means Greg needs to start working on the [...]

Change of Plans, Again

We didn’t go to the Science Center. Instead, we went to The Maryland Zoo! The weather was too nice to spend the day inside.
The zoo was practically empty and apparently the zoo is under some renovations so all the exhibits were not open. Greg and i were slightly disappointed in our visit (especially since we paid [...]

Engagement Ring: My Choice

This evening Greg and I went out and looked at engagement rings. I wanted to show him the one that I liked and I was able to take a few pictures of it:

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The others are on Flickr. The pictures didn’t turn out too good because I was kinda in a hurry (don’t know why) and [...]

Change of Plans

I decided to not go to the MD Science Ctr today. Instead, Greg and I are going to have a personal day to ourselves and run our errands (if we have any) and catch up (mostly Greg needs the catching up) on the laundry and cleaning of the condo.
This morning, Michele arrived around 9am and [...]

Seven Hours Later…

From start to finish, we spent seven hours out and about.
We had a pretty good time today! The only thing that would make this trip perfect is if the skies were clear and not the cloudy haze that they actually were.
We left the house around 11:15am and we made it back about 6:15pm. Traffic was [...]

Valley View Farms: Christmas Edition (and other things)

Greg and I went up to Valley View Farms today. They weren’t ready for Christmas just yet, but they are getting close and Greg and I are thinking of making another trip sometime in the near future. Also, we talked about making a trip to Valley View Farms a new tradition for us and Amelia. [...]

Nothing To Do

This is weird, again. Greg and I have nothing to do; we don’t have a baby to tend and care for, we don’t have anyone to feed (other than ourselves), anyone to change, or entertain (other than ourselves). It was weird waking up this morning and not have Amelia is bed with us, playing with [...]

Here It Is - Friday!

This day flew by!
I had an two hour meeting from 12-2 and I believe that is the perfect time of day to hold a meeting. To me, it makes the rest of the afternoon zoom.
I am very thankful that it was slow enough that I was able to read a good chunk of Airframe. The [...]
