My thoughts so far

By • Dec 9th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

My thoughts so far I conclude that 2007 was a very decent year for Laura and me. My primary goal was to become situated in Wichita and to begin laying the foundation for our future. It may sound easy to some, but for us, it was the first year I was not in school full-time, […]



Spring 2007

By • Dec 8th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

Spring 2007 All I remember from spring is more work and having fewer co-workers every time I went in. I finally let Laura get a kitten, and got a 316 phone number. We didn’t do much traveling after moving from Emporia and only had one car until late March. In February I finally found a […]



Summer 2007

By • Dec 7th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

Summer 2007 Laura’s friend Christen (the bridesmaid that signed our marriage certificate) lived with us during the summer and I worked a lot. My calendar says I had an interview every Tuesday or Wednesday when I wasn’t working. We took our only vacation of the summer in June to see my family at my cousin’s […]



August 2007

August 2007 I don’t remember a lot about August, but according to what I wrote, we did a little house hunting, our air conditioner broke, was fixed, I was offered and almost accepted another financial advising job, and I wrote a lot about personal finances. I think it was then that I spent a lot […]



Our baby will be…

By • Dec 5th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

arriving earlier than we expected. According to Laura’s sonographer the due date is April 21st rather than the 28th. The sonogram went well and everything is where it should be. The baby kept rolling over when the sonographer was trying to take a profile photo so we did not get one of those. Here are […]



September 2007

By • Dec 5th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

September 2007 In September I spent a lot of time working at Office This, and the rest of the time interviewing on my days off. Laura had her first few doctor’s appointments and I believe it was September when we first heard the baby’s heartbeat. She ordered M&Ms to announce the upcoming Baby Smith, and […]



October 2007

By • Dec 4th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

October 2007 October was an important month because I started a new job and switched to working only weekends at Office This. Because of that, I now work 7 days a week. I worked every day in October except for the day we moved, and worked both jobs on Halloween. A lot of people ask […]



November 2007

By • Dec 3rd, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

November 2007 I worked every day in November except Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and I started a new hobby. I’m working on the website for the hobby, so unless you already know, you will have to wait to find out what it is. It doesn’t cost much, and should save us money. Neither Laura nor […]



December 2007

By • Dec 2nd, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

December 2007 I know December is just starting, but knowing me I probably won’t write anything until sometime next year. We will begin the month by finding out if we are having a boy or a girl. I am hoping for a girl because everyone else in the family seems to be having boys. Once […]



How’s married life?

By • Dec 1st, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

How’s married life? At the time of this writing, Laura and I have been married for 430 days. We have paid off the rings, wedding, and dresses, and have celebrated our first anniversary. A lot of people asked this question right after we got married, and for some reason many still ask. Married life is […]
