One of those 25 things posts
So going around Facebook lately are these 25 random things posts. So here is mine. I thought I’d put it on my blog and wait for it to import over to Facebook Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At…

Virginia Tech
So back on New Year’s Day, my alma mater, the University of Cincinnati football game played in a bowl game against Virginia Tech. Since my dad works at VT, we put a little prop bet on the game. The loser had to wear a hat of the winner and take a picture at work with…

Meijer Box Tops deal report
Okay so Meijer had a promotion this week where if you bought 10 participating products, you got a custom coupon for 70 box tops for education. Each BTFE has a face value of 10 cents, and you can turn them into your kid’s school, or, in my case, sell them on eBay. This is actually…

Sunday Sacrament meeting
So as I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been dealing with some kid sickness. Because I have meetings and such that I have to go to church anyways, I went by myself last week.

Good vomit story
So – classic story that I want to share. We have recently been sick in our family, of the vomitous variety. As many of you undoubtedly know, one of the downsides of having multiple children is that they all get sick. And they don’t even have the consideration to all get sick at once. Nope,…
