Back in August 2014 I had reached a big milestone after a lot of hard work. I was so proud of myself and swore I would never go back. At that time I reached my goal weight of under 180lbs after months of hard work and dedication. Things went up and down from there butContinue reading “Stupidity and Laziness”

Automattic Pumpkin
Noah and I have most of the day together. We’re off to play some basketball shortly but this morning he helped me carve my pumpkin. He choose to paint his own this year, it has the first coat only so far, so not ready to share. For a while I’ve wanted to try this kindContinue reading “Automattic Pumpkin”

Spending so much timeContinue reading “Epic Road Trip 2017”
Vacation Coffee ☕️
So far we are having a wonderful trip. Getting work done while exploring some of a new area to us. The one downfall has been a lack of coffee. Before we left I came very close to packing my aeropress coffee maker which is what I use at home. It packs up small and wouldContinue reading “Vacation Coffee ☕️”
Beach Morning

Potentially uncomfortable start to our trip
We started out on our trip this morning for a month long trip across most of the USA/Canada. We're going, in a large part, to visit my sister, her husband, and new Nephew in Alberta. Old enough we just left them in Nova Scotia! They were down visiting but will fly back before we makeContinue reading “Potentially uncomfortable start to our trip”
