We talked Brittany into joining us for a road trip to Door County, WI. Scott had never been there before ( or so I believe) . Considering how short of a drive it is I'm surprised my family didn't go that often, either.

It's been one year since we became homeowners. Our home has gone through some minor changes which I will show you with some before and after photos. I thought we would have done a lot more, but life happens. It all started in March of 2010. We were living in a one bedroom apartment in Stevens Square that I loved. We were within walking distance of downtown, uptown, and eat street.

There's just something off about generic SpagettiO's.   But I thought it would be funny to walk into a graduation with the can. Blake's graduation was quite exciting...wait, scratch that. It was interesting. One of the salutatorians stood in front of the projector during thei...
