How is the house?

By • Nov 30th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

How is the house? I find this a strange question because no one ever asked how the apartment was, and you never hear anyone ask friends or family how their houses are. Maybe it’s something people ask new homeowners. The house is fine? I don’t know, but it is nice to have a place to […]



How’s your wife / the baby?

By • Nov 29th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

How’s your wife? / How’s the baby? The biggest news this year is Laura will be having a baby. Laura is just fine (and isn’t showing yet), and as far as we can tell the baby is doing fine too. We will find out the gender on December 5th. Laura has been an apartment/house wife […]



How is the new job?

By • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

How is the new job? I started a new job in Newton (30 miles N of Wichita) in October. Things are going well, and the hours and pay are a lot better than what I had before. It is a marketing position for a manufacturing company. The products my company makes aid our customers in […]



My thoughts so far on 2007

By • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

I was originally only going to write about what Laura and I have been up to in November, but after looking at my calendar I see nothing exciting happened in November except for me working 28 of the month’s 30 days. Since it’s near the holidays, we have been seeing a lot of friends and […]



House and Baby Update

By • Nov 11th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

My parents came to visit us last week and I started a new hobby so I was unable to make my usual weekend update. So far we’ve been in the house 3 weeks and we are still enjoying it. We ripped out the carpet in the basement and over the next few days we are […]



Eight thoughts from my first week as a homeowner

By • Oct 28th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

It has been a week now since Laura and I moved in to our first home. I suppose I can call it that now, but the excitement of moving paired with the new job makes everything seem a bit surreal. Laura and I both like the house, and especially enjoy having a place to call […]



We are moved!

By • Oct 21st, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

We had a lot a help over the weekend and actually managed to get everything moved out of the apartment and into the house Friday evening. Thanks to everyone who helped. (Mostly Peter, Victor, and Ryan.) We should have our internet turned back on tomorrow so Laura and I will be back then.



Moving Countdown!

By • Oct 14th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

We close on the house this Friday and will be moving out of the apartment on Saturday. Once again, if anyone feels like helping us move that would be awesome. I haven’t updated since last weekend, so I guess I should mention that everything is going well with the new job. The commute sucks as […]

We are now officially The Smiths of Wichita. Or at least we will be when the next phone book comes around. If you missed the tail end of our last great announcement, we just purchased our first home and will be moving October 20th and 21st.
