San Diego – 2/6/2026
It all started with a question over text. One of Danelle’s college friends reached out to the group saying, I have a BOGO airline pass that I can’t use, are any of you interested.

Septic Time – 3/29/2026
Our septic vendor was right on time and didn’t mess around. They came in and laid down wood to protect the ground and then started digging a hole.

Madison’s Graduation
Corvin’s girlfriend Madison invited us up to LaCrosse to see her graduation. They are pretty serious in their relationship and we didn’t want to miss it. Danelle booked us a room using our fancy Expedia.com points. We took a leisurely drive up to Wisconsin arriving in the 10pm hour. When we checked in, we were … Continue reading “Madison’s Graduation”
