My Regular 6-Week Post
Since I am averaging a post every 6 weeks or so, I am obligated to write something here. Nothing much has gone on. Just bought a house. Like to see it? If I could find my camera after the move, I would take some pictures and show you. Shannon may have it, but since she [...]
Flood of 2010
The flood of 2010 that ravaged Nashville affected our new home build. The home, in the community of Riverwall on the Harpeth, was a riverside lot on the aforementioned Harpeth River. It was nearly complete, and we were hoping to close by end of May. According to our neighbors, we got about 4 ft of [...]
Target is Amazing
I have never shopped at Target much until recently. When I was in Dallas, a Target store was just 5 minutes from my apartment, but it was not the type of store I would patronage as a single guy in my 20s. I have spent most of my married life and all of my time [...]
Its Official – We are Homeless
We officially closed on our home today. Originally scheduled for May 19th, but the paperwork had gotten delayed several weeks due to some government agency backlog. Our buyers actually moved in at the end of May and have been paying rent to us until we closed. Got everything notarized this afternoon and then put into [...]
Our Piano
Shannon inherited a small grand piano from her parents. It was the same piano that she practiced on as a child as she learned how to play piano. Since her parent’s death, my parents have been gracious enough to keep the piano as we did not have room for it in our Springfield home. Our [...]
Happy 7th Anniversary
Today was our first full day in OB, and it was lovely. It was especially wonderful as it was our 7th wedding anniversary. I am truly blessed to have Shannon. She is an amazing wife and my best friend. Shannon and Jacob went to the beach for about 2 hours today and had a blast. [...]
We Are Here
Made it in to Orange Beach last night. Unloaded today. Will leave tomorrow to pick up kids and spend night at my parents. Next week when we recover a bit I will share more. Little too tired now to type much. But I do want to say we are absolutely thrilled to be here. I [...]

We’re Packing
Almost one week until we move so we have to get into packing overdrive. Having the yard sale, btw sold over $700 in the two days, helped both in removing many items as well as giving us a head start in sorting. The kids are with relatives today so we can go uninterrupted in our [...]
Yard Sale Update
Including pre-sales when we opened up to friends last night and today, we have collected over $600 dollars plus gave away many things we no longer needed before our move. We have sold our leather couch, chair and ottoman, Ava’s old bedding and clothes, coffee table, extra long twin bed, lawn mower, patio furniture, unopened [...]
