March has come and gone, and it was a pretty happening month. I got to watch the Wolfpack make another Sweet 16 run. March is now a big birthday month in my house. It already had Angela’s birthday, but with the arrival of Zeke we now get back to back birthdays. Angela’s sister’s birthday and my brother’s birthday are also in March, so we will be buying lots of presents in March. [Read more…] about April Resolution Check Up

March Resolution Check Up
2 months of the year have now come and gone. In North Carolina, February was the 4th coldest in recorded history. There was lots of snow and ice and I’m pretty sure everyone is now officially ready for spring. March is here and we are about to get into the best time for college basketball (although being an NC State fan also usually makes it a heart breaking time). It is time again for me to take a look back at how I am doing at my New Year’s resolutions. Let’s hope I did better than I did in January. [Read more…] about March Resolution Check Up

The gym is full for January and February. [Read more…] about #NewYearNewMe
The Joys of Potty Training a Puppy
About a month ago, Angela and I got our puppy, Nala. She is a Jack Russell Terrier, and is pretty much the cutest thing you have ever seen. I got Nala when she was only seven weeks old as an early Christmas present for Angela. One of our first priorities was to teach her that she needed to use the bathroom outside and not in the house. The first night, despite our best efforts to take her out every couple hours, Nala still pooped in her crate. We found out that not only would she go in the crate, but she liked to then play in it. So we would have to let her out, clean the crate, and give her a bath. This was not my favorite thing to do at three in the morning. [Read more…] about The Joys of Potty Training a Puppy
