…back to the grind

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

When Ryanne and I first got married, she was working full-time and going to school full-time, while I was working three different jobs. As you can imagine, we rarely saw each other during this portion of our life. Sure, it was a trying time, but I think we made the right ...

…my sprint mogul, day one

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

I purchased the Sprint Mogul phone yesterday. That should come as no surprise, as I have been talking about it here for a few days. It's a great little phone. I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what it's capable of, and I'm already impressed. Having SlingPlayer installed ...

Today started off pretty good. We went to 5/3 Bank to pay off our car in the morning. Can you tell by the picture how happy Ryanne was? ...yeah, me neither. Then it was off to purchase a new (used) car. We've been living with only one car between the two of ...

…toilets and photography

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I see my wife again in exactly fifty hours. As you would expect of any husband who has been living without his wife for the last two weeks, that means I have spent a good portion of time today, and a good portion of time yet; cleaning. Yes, that's right, I ...

…jw unplugged // day 3

Monday, August 20th, 2007

It's 11:00am, Monday morning. Still. Hasn't. Stopped. Raining. I'm starting to think about coming home early, maybe even today. To be honest, this rain is starting to depress me. It started this morning, when I woke up from a dream that I could vividly recall. I dreamt that I had picked my wife ...

…jw — unplugged

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Tomorrow morning I have my mens group that I lead. Afterwards, it's off to my parents camper in Pioneer, Ohio for four days. Three of those four I plan on not using my cellphone, my laptop, a television, or even a radio or ipod. It should be interesting. Funny story from today... ...
