About Me

"(He) was not shy; (he) was a real people pleaser. (He) worried way too much what people thought of (him), wore (his) heart on (his) sleeve, expected too much from people, and got hurt too easily. (He) kept other people's secrets like a champ, but told (his) own too fast. (He) expected the world not to cheat (him) and was always surprised when it did."

One year down!

I'm finally emancipated from the chains of group project mayhem, and the shackles of paper writing and text book reading! I couldn't be more psyched. So anyone who hasn't seen me since Sep...

Do They Make GasX For Dogs?

Here's an excerpt from Amie's blog: "Okay so as many of you know we've had some issues with our animals thinking our bed was a toilet. Well we've got another problem on our hands now...dog flatulence!...

HalloWEEN!

The last couple of weeks have been pretty intense -- a series of ups and downs that we have done our best to weather. The good news is that Amie is in Chicago training for a new job, one that we...

Florida Wrap-up.

So Sunday we spent the day cruising around Merritt Island. We saw the Kennedy Space Center from afar while walking some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever laid eyes on. Then on the wa...
