Time To Go Home?
Oh man… 1 AM. Do we get to go home yet? Everybody really seems to be enjoying themselves, and they don’t show any signs of being tired. Maybe it’s all the strong black tea they are drinking and all of the sweets they are eating. Little sugar and caffeine junkies! …. just kidding. I can’t imagine we will be here much longer, so hopefully we will be homeward bound soon!...[Read More]
Wedding Presents
Since the party we are at is for us since we got married back in March, of course we got presents. We won’t be opening them here, so when we do tomorrow we will let you all know what we got! Pictures too. I’m so excited. I love presents. It’s like Christmas in July lol! – She Who Has The Last Word
Midnight
It’s midnight. I honestly can’t believe that we have been blogging for 18 hours straight. I must say that this has been like nothing I’ve ever experienced. My mind has been struggling for interesting things to blog about, and my poor eyes are tired from looking at a screen for so long today. But you know what? It’s been worth it. It’s been so awesome that I can’...[Read More]
Cake!
Well, it’s about 11:30 and we are about to have this delicious cake. Can’t post a pic of it right now, but just believe me when I say that it will be delicious. Chris’s Mom ordered it from this local French bakery named Le Roi, and she says it’s her favorite. Yum, yum! – She Who Has The Last Word
The Party
So many of you know that we are at a party tonight, held in our honor, at Chris’s Moms house. Sorry that we haven’t been blogging about the get together until now, but better late than never eh? We arrived here a little bit late because I was working on the blog for 8:00, and Chris was working on the one for 8:30, but I swear the WordPress App for the iPhone has been saving us all even...[Read More]

Shelf of Heroes (and Villains)
Lindsey and I both love comic books and nerd culture. We were both born nerds, grew up as nerds, and will pass our nerdish traditions down to any little nerdlings we may have in the future as best we can. As nerds, we also love little collectibles like statues, bobbleheads, figures, busts, etc. This is a shelf on our center DVD bookshelf. It contains most (but not all) of our comic and movie re...[Read More]
I don’t know what to put in this post
I have absolutely no idea what to put in this post. I thought about it and thought about it, and finally decided to post about how I didn’t know what to post about. That counts as a post, right? It gets difficult when you don’t have any new experiences between posts to really talk about. It makes finding new topics quite a challenge. And yet, in a roundabout way, I’ve managed...[Read More]

Snacks Cabinet
We have a snacks cabinet. A cabinet-o-snacks, if you will. We love our snacks cabinet, and we do our best to make sure it is happy by keeping it full of the snacks that provide it with purpose and use. The snacks cabinet is very unassuming at first glance, a regular cabinet just like any other: Once you start taking a closer look, the impression begins to change: And once the door has been opene...[Read More]
