Warning if you watch this you will get teary eyed! This is a powerful video that demonstrates the sacrifice made by our soldiers. After you clean your eyes, find your nearest soldier or their family and let them know how grateful you are for their sacrifice!

I bought a rocking chair for Emmaline when we were visiting some of our friends that live out in the country* back in March. Yes, I said March and I realize that it is now June... but I'm a bad blogger if you haven't realized it already. Anyways, I eyed it when we were driving in and practically salivated in the window longingly until Andy could park the car, I could grab his wallet (I never carry cash), and run...

This is an interesting story I came across -- not sure if it is based on real events or not -- nonetheless, the moral of the story is good. DISCLAIMER:  THIS IS NOT ABOUT MY MARRIAGE NOR THE MARRIAGE OF ANYONE THAT I AM CLOSE WITH. MARRIAGE When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in ...

When Emma isn't happy, everyone laughs! She pulls her pouty face, checks to makes sure everyone is looking at her and then she laughs!

This was posted recently on theoatmeal.com.  And it breaks down email addresses and points out what conclusions are being made about you based upon your electronic identity.  We are in a technology age -- whether you care to admit it or accept it doesn't change the fact that it is.  And in an age where email is more common than traditional mail letters (there are approximately 49.4 billion valid emails sent every da...

Powerful article by Washington Times about how dangerous our southern borders really are -- I knew it was bad, but had no idea it was this bad. The pathetic and half-witted efforts by our fool-in-power, self-promoting, socialist-loving, federal deficit enlarging, grade A+, JACKASS to stem this invasion of criminals and terrorists is literally unbelieveable.... "you couldn't make this stuff up!" Imagine if it...

Interesting video done by CNBC. Mormon Mission Biz - CNBC.com.

For a long time (unfortunately) Google's VOIP service has been on a limited by-invitation only access.  There was a plethora of invites for sale on eBay for a nominal fee... but free is free. Well Google has now deemed their service ready for everyone and have since opened the floodgates to allow any Google user to have the ability to use their service!  How freaking cool is t...

As a youth as I passed through various 'phases' in life it was very bittersweet -- I was eager to move on, but I knew with that change would mean losing contact with certain people and perhaps changing attitude, habits and behavior.  I've always struggled to put into explainable words the angst and frustration I would feel at these moments (Blink 182 has a song called Dammit that comes pretty close).  Inside I was t...

I saw this the other day on a web page and although not all of the areas are applicable to us, I still found some of the information helpful. Enjoy.

So I got onto this kick recently where I was motivated to get us out and doing fun stuff -- it seems that there is a lot of working and a lot of chores that gets done but not a lot of fun.  So I made the 'executive decision' (aka me pleading and begging) to get us some toys to see if we would enjoy them.  I found a good deal on a 2003 Yamaha Raptor 660r and bought it.  At the same time I accidentally came upon a 'd...

I've been super busy lately with tons of crazy things (which hopefully I will get around to telling ya'll about later), but I figured I'd let you in on a little secret. Well, its not really a secret if you live within a 548 mile radius of my mom or are on Facebook, but since we haven't said anything on the blog officially it might be news to you. We're pregnant. Again. It was a surprise. Again. Andy had to sell a...

This pretty much says it all -- it is time to clean house come November!!

It is a credit to human creativity and perseverance that non-IT persons can come up with such elaborate and complicated work arounds.  It is a fine line to walk -- either fix the problem in 10 minutes and move on with your life (but hence forth be bugged about everything IT issue in the future) or cultivate a feeling of self-help and pride in being able to fix the problem without your invovlement. Hilarity ...

How about those acronyms for ya? :)  Ok so if you can't tell this is going to be a geeky post -- so you have been forewarned. Ok now that is out of the way lets clear the water with a few definitions: DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) - lets an organization take responsibility for a message while it is in transit.  The organization is a handler of the m...

Huge victory for all of us who value our freedom and our rights to defend our family, home and nation!  Lets keep praying that the Supreme Court continues to uphold on the 2nd amendment!! http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/06/28/high-courts-big-ruling-for-gun-rights/

This past weekend Tash and I decided that we were going to take advantage of the sweeeeeeet deal that T-mobile was running -- you could get ANY T-mobile (in-store) phone for free with the activation of a new family plan (2 yr agreement). (http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-20008120-85.html) For the last year we have been with Verizon Wireless and have been happy with their service -- excellent signal, no dropped...

Interesting article @ the New York Times -- there isn't enough of this "perspective" in the real world.  I get approached all the time when people learn where I work and then I get to partake of their ignorant blundering as they sputter and get red-faced about things "they know" from all their exhausting years listening to liberal media and being brainwashed by one-term suck-faced politicians... You know if you ...
