Over the past couple of weeks, it seems that Matthew has developed two distinct personalities. There is the sweet little angel that everyone gets to know immediately when spending time around Matthew. Then there is the night terror who keeps mom and dad up for hours all night. I’ve talked about our lack of sleep […]

It’s been long overdue. We have lived in our new house for a year and a half. Up until last weekend there were exactly 2 DIY projects that we had completed. One was done out of necessity – Matthew’s bedroom. And the other was done because my father in law decided that he wanted to stain […]
Not So Happy Valley

I have to admit, for me, it’s like a bad car accident. I can’t help but to look. In this case, the more information that comes out about what happened at Penn State since 1998, the more I want to know. But I think a better analogy than a car accident would be an earthquake. […]
It feels so good

To just close my eyes for a moment. The problem is, I was driving down I-70 at 80 mph. Now it was just for a second, but man did it feel good. Always at the wrong moment it seems that I can fall asleep in an instant. Don’t get me wrong… according to Anne, I […]

Matthew hit the 5 month mark yesterday. I’ve always been big on remembering dates. In my mind, bigger than our little guy hitting the 5 month anniversary… TODAY is the one year anniversary of discovering that Anne was pregnant. I remember being so excited. We actually had a wedding that evening and it was all […]

Ever since I was a kid I have always procrastinated… I don’t do things until I usually HAVE to. I started writing this entry last Monday while sitting in the airport. I continued the entry last Tuesday while sitting in the airport. I did not spend 2 straight days in the airport – but it […]

“Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?” What is it about a song that can bring out so much emotion? There are so many songs that can take me back to specific moments in my life. For good or bad I will remember where I was, or who I […]
6 days
Oct 3
So there are now just six days until my first “official” weigh in. Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of moments on the scale since I started this July 11th. However I set up goals with rewards every 3 months. The first goaline is October 10th. I need to weigh in at 290 […]
The Center of Attention

Matthew is a star and he doesn’t even know it yet. Everywhere we go he turns heads, he gets looks, and almost always people ask about him. He is taking is all in stride – which is pretty easy since he isn’t even crawling yet. What is ironic about this, is his mother, my lovely […]
I Love Running

I have been trying to convince myself of this for the past 7 weeks. When I decided that I wanted to loose 100 pounds, I remembered that in the past, running had always helped me burn the most calories. There was one problem though… I HATE RUNNING. Ok, so perhaps hate isn’t the right word… […]
