Rowan Home

By Amanda On July 8, 2010 · Leave a Comment

So our little peanut is home!  On June 10th, they decided that although still a little jaundiced, he could be discharged from the NICU.  He slept the entire ride and through a visit to Rocky Rococo’s.

Since getting home, he’s met the cat, survived his first sink bath, gone for stroller walks, and just recently gone to [...]

On Tuesday night, June 1st, Amanda watched me play my men’s softball game and afterward, we joined some guys from the team at a bar down the street called The Silver Eagle. Amanda sang two songs [...]

And we’re IN!

By Amanda On March 15, 2010 · Leave a Comment

It’s such a beautiful SPRING day!

I’m feeing a bit overwhelmed by all the unpacking, the seeming immensity of the local Asian beetle community, and the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Other than that, the house is GREAT, the baby is a’ kickin,’ and I feel super loved thanks to [...]

The House

By John On March 2, 2010 · 3 Comments

We are so excited! One week from tomorrow, Amanda and I will close on our very first house. The situation could not have been more perfect for us.

Amanda and I began a leisurely search for houses back in November or so, very slowly at first. In fact, we weren’t really sure what we wanted [...]

Babiness!

By Amanda On December 31, 2009 · 2 Comments

So here we are, almost starting the 12th week of The Big Baby Adventure!  So far it’s been good.  I started having morning sickness right from the get-go (at about 4-5 weeks?) and can only say that I have an amazing, AMAZING husband.  I initially lost 6ish pounds since I had literally no appetite, but [...]

Married

By John On July 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Well here we are all married and stuff.

Being married to Amanda is great! It’s great to see her on a daily basis and it’s great to communicate in person rather than relying on the one phone call per day to pack in everything we have to say to each other.

We just got back [...]

10 days!

By Amanda On May 13, 2009 · 2 Comments

So I can now count the days until the BIG DAY on my two hands! I’m so pumped!!! Odd little things need to get done, but nothing that we can’t handle. I guess our rings will be finished tomorrow, so that’s really exciting!
Also, our bachelor/bachelorette parties were great. I’ll try to post some [...]

35 days!

By Amanda On April 18, 2009 · 1 Comment

So the countdown continues and I find myself preparing to take care of those little things that seemed so far in the future…. like calling for RSVPs or making place cards. Sheesh!
The spring weather has finally settled in and I couldn’t be happier about it! John and I enjoyed a baseball game Wednesday [...]

Stress and Relief

By John On April 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

As we get closer and closer to our wedding day, I think we are (or at least I am) starting to feel more and more of two opposite emotions. Stress has been starting to show up in the last few weeks and will almost certainly be present in the following month. I don’t think it’s [...]
