A lot of people have asked me how much it cost me to make these costumes. And honestly, I hadn’t kept very good track. I went into the project estimating that it’d cost me between $300 and $400, and planning to enter as many costume contests as I could to hopefully recoup the amount I’d […]

As some of you may know, we decided to be Monsters Inc. characters for Halloween this year. For more than a year now people have told us that Bridget looks like Boo from Monsters Inc., so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. You may remember my previous post, and the call […]

Computer Room “5S” Project
September 18th, 2008 · 8 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, college life, dave, domestic attempts, random, tina
This past weekend we tackled what was the messiest and most cluttered room in our house. Our computer room. Dave and I are both pretty big computer geeks, each in our own way. So over the few years we’ve been married we’ve managed to collect all sorts of parts and gadgets and miscellaneous computer related […]

It would seem that my blog-cation vacation took a little longer than planned. I’ve started to get some mild harassment from some of you as to my absence. Sorry about that. Anyway, it was nice to have a little bit of a break and not worry about blogging. There are a lot of things to […]

The doctor’s office actually screwed up and scheduled our ultrasound for a day when no technicians would be in. […]

This camping trip marked the third (see the first & second) for us this summer! Which, with Dave’s school schedule, proved […]

Word of the day: Oligopoly
August 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment · college life, dave, random
When I was helping Dave study for his Economics final yesterday, I was reading some of his past test questions and quizzing him. A word kept creeping in that I hadn’t heard before.

The 24th of July ended up being a crazy, busy day… but it was tons of fun! After breakfast Bridget and I headed out with Lee Ann to try and gather a few more photos for our ward directory. At 10:30 we went to story time. At 11:00 we headed up to the Logan City […]
