So I know it’s been quite awhile since I last posted. There has been a lot going on and I have a lot I’d like to talk about. There isn’t a particular reason why I haven’t been posting…other than the fact that I’m lazy. It has been a good last couple of [...]

The article linked above is certainly worth reading, as it is quite cleverly written.
The idea for [...]

Return from the Canyon
On Sunday night Christie and I returned from our trip out to the Grand Canyon. It was a pretty grueling trip, but we had an absolutely amazing time. The Grand Canyon is truly one of the most unique places in the world, and the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. We had a [...]
