Random Pics and Adventures

One down and One more to go!

How exciting to have finished my first year of graduate school. I cannot believe how fast time goes by! I know Matich is very excited about my many projects for the summer, oh babe you know you love it! We are finally going to use the new washer and dryer...call me crazy but we have had them for a week now and I refuse to use them (I also refuse to let Matich use them) until I read through the instructions! What, who does this? I just want to be sure we get our $2000.00 bloody dollars worth, can you blame me! But lets be honest they are quiet fancy. happy washing.

hApPy DaY tOp!

I just wanted to wish my very dearest friend Topham (Rosie) a very happy birthday! Topham and I go back to the Dana Ortho days and have been best friends ever since. She and her husband Spencer moved away at the begining of the school year to Oregon for law school. She was sweet enough to fly in for my wedding, and although it was a complete down pour, she was a very optimistic bridesmaid! I miss our dog park adventures and nights at Takashi...never fear they shall return. Hope it was a happy day. Miss you guys and love your buns.

4.10.80

Well there she is folks! Sweet little Amber Elizabeth Ann Vanderstappen on April 10, 1980. So young and innocent......long before she knew a red head would influence her life. Today is the greatest day ever, it's the day my wife was born. So instead of saying "Happy Birthday" I'll say "Thanks for being born." I'm extremely lucky on so many levels beginning with the fact that I'm the guy who landed a younger chick. For every year that disappears I can look at my young beautiful wife and be reminded.....I got lucky. The downside.......I'll reach 30 first and she'll always turn the year that I just gave up.

Ohhh look how cute with the little dimples. I took the time to look up some of the celebrities who happened to share this magical day with Amber. I was hoping so badly to see Mathew McCaughnehey's name come up in the search. I figured there had to be some reason, out of my control, why she thinks he is attractive. Unfortunately, no Matt. She does, however, share with Mandy Moore and the world's biggest bad ass Steven Seagal. Sweet! Anyway, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Amber, happy birthday to you! I wish you luck and happiness for the next year and try, try, try to stay 28 forever. I love you every second of every day and I hope to spend at least 28 more with you!

Love, Your own personal born in the 70's redhead.

What is that Noise?

On a typical Sunday I am up and about between 8 or 9 am (on my own will) and sweet Matich is sound asleep until sometime around 11 am. However, this morning was a bit different. The clock had just struck 8 am and there was this insanly annoying sound, where it was coming from I had no idea. I opened the front door and the sound became a little more clear....I checked the back door.....and man I struck gold! I could not believe how loud it was. My intitial thought was to blame it on the new neighbors and their remodeling/party shenanigans, but to my left something caught my eye! It was no bigger than my fist and a good 30ft in the air.....a bird. Not just any old bird, a woodpecker, hammering away on a wood post in the back yard. It was so funny to me that such a cute little fellow could cause such a ruckus and force me out of bed prematurely! (this just goes to show you how much we have to blog about lately, no news is good news I say!)
