So Matt and I scored some free tickets to the Brewer game on Friday night through our awesome friend Chad. We were in the 18th row behind home plate. I am hesitant to share this with you because I’m now expecting about 82 emails asking for tickets. This is the first time I’ve ever gotten [...]

Okay, so it’s not quite finished. But I think it’s close enough. First up, the stairwell. Remember how I told you that the previous owner appeared to just give up when she realized she couldn’t reach any higher? Yeah, this was the result. After the hubs got over his fear of heights, he managed to [...]

Matt and I had a busy weekend, as I’m sure you all did. Saturday we headed up to beautiful Kimberly, Wisconsin for a Deck Party extravaganza hosted by my good friend Emily.

The Night of Sawdust

So, last week our Freezer died. I called up our trusty appliance-repairman (shout out to Steve P!) and he came over that same day and told us it was shot and we should just buy a new one. Boo. Luckily, our home-buying-stimulus-check was meant for just such an occasion. After consulting with my appliance-expert-friend-Sara, we [...]
