Cleaning! At least, that was the plan. I swear it was. I was on Facebook and saw someone we knew from college who mentioned they had COVID-19. I messaged them to see if their family was alright. The next thing I knew, they let us know that they were recovering but that they wouldn’t be able to go to the Blazers game that night.…

Hey there. This month has just felt so jam-packed, it isn’t funny. The next morning after driving back, we went out and let the kids run around (since they had been cooped up in the car the previous day). The weather worked in our favor as everything was clear and sunny. The next night we went to the closing night of the Portland Winter…

Hey again, Time for a road trip! It ended up being perfect timing for everything. Why? Well… because February 5th is also my momma’s birthday. We arrived on the evening of the 5th and met up with her and my dad at Outback for dinner. Why? To Celebrate of course. It was fun. I could tell they were happy to see us, plus, being…

Hey there, What a way to start a month (that is without a vehicle). We decided that as much as we would love to have great gas mileage on a car, we simply cannot afford to have that at this time.

Burst pipes. Not something that I thought I would be worrying about. We weren’t the only ones that this happened to. We called around and most places were booked out several weeks. We found a local guy that would come out to the house in about a week. We took him up on that. The snow and ice was holding on for a while.…

If you don’t believe me, check out the photo below of a small amount of snow that we recently got. For the past few months we have been looking at the value of…

Happy New Years! How is everyone doing so far this year? Its been a fun start to the year. Started off with a bit of a panic attack, but I’ll get to that later. First up? Baby pictures. New Year, new baby. Here’s the little guy on the first of the year. Since we have some time off to bond with the little, we…

Hey again, Half way through the month and almost done with the entire year. This year really blew by us. We wanted to make sure that we still got out and saw some Christmas lights, despite things feeling so hectic this year due to having a new baby to care for. We spent a few nights going to various places and a few with…

Hey there, Last month of 2023, and then we will be in the year 2024. Amazing. Last day of this month is Dec 12, 2023, or 12,31,23 (123123). We began this month with the opportunity to go see a new movie. “The Shift” by Angel Studios. While at the movies we also got to cash in on a free drink and popcorn that the…

Hey there It is crazy to think that I am officially off of work until next year. I’ll be taking FMLA during the first part of next year to help out and get things settled before returning to work. Speaking of returning, we returned to my parents and the kids. Luca (who initially was a bit hesitant when we talked about having a new…
