Friendsgiving 2017

December 2, 2017

When you start dating someone long enough, eventually you’ll meet their group of friends. Since Caitlyn introduced me to her close circle I’ve never looked back.

Every year Brett and Laura host a Friendsgiving as a way to get together and enjoy the holidays. Since I’ve been going, things have changed quite a bit. Of the seven couples who attend, only two are without kids. Nowadays, babies are crawling all over the place and the entertainment involves watching them chase the Roomba around the living room.

This year, everyone cooked Thai dishes and dinner was amazing. I made a papaya salad that was a mellow but necessary addition since all the other dishes were high in the flavor department.

We ended the night with a walk to the local park. Brooklyn decided that she wanted to run a timed obstacle course that ended up with most of the adults giving it a go. (I think I got 4th place after Jarred gave an unexpectedly quick run.)

I’m super lucky to have friends like these. Not only to give Caitlyn and I a taste of what’s to come with kids but also to keep in touch with friends who are on the up and up. These days it’s super easy to lose touch with people even when they live in the same town. If you don’t make time, there won’t be a next time.

I tried to get Kirk to pretend that he was the one cooking the fish but it was a hard sell. Once I finally got him to remove the BBQ lid, there was no food to pretend to cook. Then Brett showed both of us how it’s done.
Evan claimed that babies have “new baby smell” as he insisted we sniff Truman’s head.

Cabo San Lucas

December 26, 2017

Caitlyn and I wanted to get in one last 2017 vacation and thankfully we had some leftover airline points to score tickets to Cabo San Lucas. The weather was fantastic. Most days were partly cloudy and the town seemed like it was operating at 1/5 capacity. This offered some unique shooting opportunities. As far as […]

Missing In Action

December 27, 2021

The last time I posted here was in mid-August. It’s been a while since I’ve even thought about this website… well, that’s not true. My hosting plan was about to expire and I just renewed for another three years. So here we are. Let’s recap on everything since then. In-person school has begun again at […]
