Please ship my dining room table, and try not to break it for the sixth time

By • Jan 13th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Dear CSN Stores (Niraj Shah, Steven Conine), FedEx, Hillsdale Furniture: I would really like to have a dining room table, but you do not seem to be able to ship one that doesn’t break along the way. My name is Chad Smith, and on Sunday, November 18th, I placed an order on diningroomsdirect.com for a […]



New Years Projects

By • Jan 8th, 2008 • Category: Uncategorized

Laura and I began our new year visiting family and finishing some of our home improvement projects. We finished painting the first guest bedroom before Christen moved in, and now we get to choose colors and carpet for the rest of the basement. We saw her family on New Years Day and then visited mine […]



One year in Wichita

By • Dec 31st, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

When the years start going by faster I think that’s a sign that you’re getting old, but least I don’t have gray hair yet like a certain someone I’m married to. It’s new years again which means we’re probably going to go to bed early since we have nothing better to do, and have to […]

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

By • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: Uncategorized

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 […]
