100,000 Miles!!

Today my 2003 KIA Spectra hit the 100,000 mile mark. I know...exciting news...ha ha!
Just didn't think I'd put all the miles on in just 3 years. So much for the 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty. :-)

Meet our daughter...

Kara and I had a wonderful day today. It was her 19 week checkup and that's when we learned that we're going to be the proud parents of a wonderful little girl. Please say hello to our daughter... Olivia Grace.


It was an incredible feeling when the ultrasound tech told us that it was definetly a girl and to actually be able to see her move around. It was very emotional indeed. Throughout the whole pregnancy I had told Kara I didn't want to know the sex. Up till about a month or so ago, I hadn't wanted to know. Something made me change my mind... I guess just not knowing what to refer to our baby as....him /her... was enough. I didn't let Kara know until just today that I wanted to know... she was quite surprised and happy.

It's still hard to believe that we're going to be parents....finding out the sex and seeing her move made it all sink in a little more. We can't wait to meet our daughter in person!!

I have some video that I'll be posting soon.

Short Trip to Ohio

This past weekend Kara and I drove my mother down to Canton, OH so she could stay with my sister Lynn, her husband Willie and their three wonderful kids...Andrew, Aaron & Audrey for a few days.

We left early Saturday morning, around 7. Picked up my Mom around 8, stopped for breakfast and hit the road at 9. It's about a 3 hr. drive from my Mom's. Pretty boring drive along the Ohio Turnpike (I-80/90).

We arrived at there house around 1 or so. We hung out, chatted and had a BBQ. It was good to see everyone again. Been about 8 months since the last time we were there. The kids sprout up so much between visits. There such good kids and there all so smart. Must be the parents... he heh.

Sunday morning Willie and I got to go and play 9 holes of golf. We didn't do so hot, but still had fun. It was a pretty nice course as well. It sure made up for not being able to play my normal round back at home. Thanks again Willie!

We headed home around noon and got back at about 4:30pm. We had to stop only once, so Kara could get pizza....then it was only a matter of time till her tummy started hurting. Took about 20 mins. It was good to go on a little trip...been doing alot of nothing lately.

I'll post some short videos of the trip shortly.

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July this year!!

Kara and I didn't really do anything this year. We're trying
to save for our bundle of joy in December, so we just stuck around the house.
Tomorrow I go back to work after my long 5 day weekend. Why couldn't every week have only 2 workdays?
