So my “new” truck was broke. Lucky for me, my college roommate, Sean came to the rescue. He and family came to St. Louis and picked up the truck, towing it back to Jefferson City. One week later, I’m in Jeff City with Sonora at his house working to pull the engine and put a … Continue reading “Fixing the Truck – 11/7/2015”
Since we purchased Waterfall, we’ve been thinking about an outdoor fireplace. While we have not agreed on what it will look like when we’re done, we do agree on the price… So we found free bricks. This is our second load delivering them and worried about the tires on the van as it was quite … Continue reading “Bricks to Waterfall – 10/25/2015”
This year for the annual River Des Peres Trash Bash, I decided to be a site leader. As a entry level leader, I took a smaller easier role, but made a difference. I was responsible for an area and lead a group of college volunteers from Iowa around to get the trash picked. One of … Continue reading “River Des Peres Trash Bash – 10/24/2015”
Sonora had a Spotlight singer concert tonight. We were lucky enough to have some grandparents in attendance. Even more fortunate that we sat on the correct side to see Sonora performing right next to our seats!

In order to keep things interesting, I served a few scoops of ice cream and cake. But they each got special implements to eat … Continue reading “Corvin’s Friend Birthday Party – 10/10/2015”

So the new truck needed some love when I got home. It was many kinds of dirty! The seats were nasty and ripped. Danelle spent tons of time cleaning them first, then doing her best to patch them. I didn’t do a great job with before and after photos, but you are not going to … Continue reading “Truck Cleaning – 9/27/2015”

The first half of this day was the most frustrating day of my whole trip. I started with me waking up and trying my best to sleep in. The motel was nice. When I couldn’t take sleep anymore, I went to Dairy Queen for breakfast. I then walked to a hardware store and picked up … Continue reading “Colorado Motorcycle Trip – 9/22/2015”
