Hello everyone! I know it’s been a long time since our last post, so I figured I’d write up a quick updates post to get everyone up to speed on all of the things. Busy season began in early April for Seth, so he has been working like crazy, which is normal for him this …
The mantra at my CrossFit gym is “constantly pursue progress.” It’s a great sentiment. Another is “trust the process.” Those both seem simple enough, but if change were easy, everyone would do it. I know change isn’t easy, in any part of your life. The most obvious example to start with is my own personal …
Well, we’re almost halfway through October and I haven’t managed a single new blog post. I also haven’t made it to the gym once. These two failures on my part are both due to the same thing: My battle with bacteria. That’s right. I’ve been sick for almost three weeks now, and Seth unfortunately has …
It’s pretty customary to give younger friends and family members little tidbits of advice when they graduate highschool. You got tidbits at your graduation party, or questions thinly veiled as advice. “Where are you going to college?” means “You have to go to college.” Or “You should use some of the money you’re getting from …
Apparently we’re all murderers. “Millennials… Killing Harley’s Sales” “Millennials are Killing Chains Like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee’s” “Millennials are Killing the Beer Industry” “Millennials are Killing the Napkin Industry” “Millennials are Killing the Golf Industry” (this one kind of follows the theme, but mostly I want you to remind me to talk about this …
We have many animals, and I’m sure you’re all wondering, “How do you come up with names for all those critters?” Let the curiosity end here!

Alternate post title: Mortgages for Millennials We know a few couples who are looking to buy houses in the next few months, and have been answering a lot of questions about the mortgage process for them. It occurred to me that mortgages are confusing (we learned that first hand) and having recently (FINALLY) completed the …
Just imagine me listening to Louie Armstrong and reveling in the idea that future generations will benefit from the knowledge we are gaining every day (“They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know”) while I write this post. Seth and I both care very deeply about the environment. His degree is in Environmental Studies and …
I started writing my first blog post, got about halfway through, then realized some of you may not know what the fuck I’m talking about, because you don’t have a background in land usage. I decided to instead make my first post about words, word usage, and my opinions about language in general so that …
In August 2011, Seth and I, along with two other roommates, moved into a 1200 square foot, 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom (the horror! I know) bungalow that we rented from his parents, which is pictured below. Thanks Google Maps for happening to have an image from August 2011, probably two days after we moved in! …
