That’s right–a townhouse that is officially ours according to us and the county. After a shopping trip to fill up Matt’s toolbox, the following, inevitable situation occurred: Matt just scanned the stud detector across [...]

When I say, “I’m so old!” it’s really meant as a joke. For example: “Emily, I can’t believe you’re married!” I then reply, “yes, I know. I’m so old!” Last night, and this morning, I have confirmed the fact that I’m entering into old age. We gathered up a few friends, Sara and Greg and [...]

As I was getting my hair cut Wednesday night, an unknown number called my phone. Checking the voicemail while chatting with Jen, who does my hair, I thought I heard “fraud alert.” Not wanting to panic, I tried my best to forget about it and handle it after I was done. I was with Matt [...]

And no, I’m not talking about the oven. I added a jewel in my domestic goddess crown as I made dinner last night–and the only thing frozen was the chicken! Again I take a crack at foodie photography: Hopefully it’s not too “in your face food.” Matt laughed at me for taking pictures of food [...]

The absence of blinds makes the sun a cruel weekend alarm clock. This morning, however, the sleeping-in plans cut short led to the idea of an awesome breakfast. Typically, we may chow down some cereal or a cereal bar. Instead, this morning our plan was a scramble with pineapple sausage and leftover potato wedges. It [...]

After a brief stop at my parents’Â house to pick up some Halloween decorations, we made a trip to one of our favorite places: Costco! There was a lot going on there, with a piano roadshow and Christmas decorations already up, not to mention the wall of flat screen TVs luring us inside the store of [...]

As previously mentioned, we have moved from our furnished tiny apartment to our very own condo! It was hard to say goodbye to the barrage of fake plants and avocado fridge, but somehow we managed to be torn away. I’ll work on a post about moving, but for now, please take a tour of our [...]

A lack of posts might indicate that newlywed life is busy. In our case, that is definitely the truth. Matt’s club team is about to finish their season, I just finished my brief stint in co-ed Ultimate last weekend, I was at a meeting for work until 10 last night, with another planned for next week. [...]

He brings in the Port-A-Fields around 10 p.m. when we must wake up at 6 a.m. for the tournament. Then he says we have to unwind and rewind them on the plastic coils. Yes, the yards and yards and yards of plastic field lines. It only took a couple hours and it helped that we [...]
