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 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 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 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? 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 […]
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? / 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? 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
