In which the birds show me their true feelings

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Beings as its summer time, we’re ignoring the things that still need to be finished inside the new house and solely working outside on our yard. Since our house is new, that means we’re starting from scratch with the yard. Scratch, as in BIG PILES OF DIRT & WEEDS.

In which we travel the world searching for local street art

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

We started traveling as a couple early in our marriage. We’ve always traveled very cheaply, which means we don’t buy a lot of souvenirs while on our trips. And by “we don’t buy a lot”, I mean “I’m not buying anything I have to carry around in my backpack!!!”

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Being a member of the LDS church (you know, the Mormons) offers many exciting things.  Not only do I get to worship Jesus but I get to learn how to craft aprons out of hot pad holders and purses out of place mats.
I think that one of the most exciting things about being a Mormon [...]
