Testing, Testing, 1.2.3.

Yep, we’re still alive. Sorta forgot about this site until Christine mentioned she was getting some spam comments from it.

Will post an update, someday, I assure you.

Happy Father’s Day

Christine — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:49:52 +0000

It’s been more than a month since we’ve posted. Things have been busy. Mike’s super-busy at work. I’m super-busy interviewing for jobs (hoping to hear some good news this week). And we’re in the process of moving – we put in an application for an apartment in Wilmington yesterday.

Today is Father’s Day, which means that my Dad is most likely already up and watering the lawn, even though it’s not even 8am yet. I’m sure Mom and the boys will be taking him bowling. And he’ll probably watch several hours of Family Guy.

I, however, will be going to see The Happening, and then reviewing it on MovieSnobs. I hope everyone has a wonderful Father’s Day, and we’ll keep you updated on the new apartment.

Long Time, No Update

We have been very busy here in Jandreauville. After Mike’s India trip, he had a trip to Phoenix, also for work. I had to go to New York for a family funeral at the same time. Now we’re both back home, at least for a week.

Good news on the job front: I had a phone interview with a marketing firm this afternoon. They’ll let me know next week if I’m invited to come in for an in-person interview.

Mike’s off to Canada next week, again for work.

Oh, and I joined Twitter. If you’re on there, follow me so I don’t feel like a loser.

Honeymoon

Mike — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:13:01 +0000

We’re back! We’re married!

I just finished uploading the 800+ honeymoon photos I took with the kick-ass camera Christine bought me for a wedding gift. Head on over to the Photographs page (link at the top of the page there) to check out the galleries. There’s no captions yet, we’ll save that for a rainy day.

If you like any of them, I may upload them to Shutterfly to make available for print, but at 10.1 megapixels, that could take days or weeks. We’ll see. If you want the original size photo, instead of the scaled down version, let me know.

New York, New York

Christine — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:08:47 +0000

It’s a beautiful morning in New York City. Mike and I are here for our very much not a surprise Jack and Jill shower. Mom is flying up this morning. Relatives and friends are coming from all over the state. Aunt Kathy ordered a spread of food and dessert, and I made little bride & groom chocolates as favors.

Luckily there will be no silly bridal shower games since this is a Jack and Jill shower, but they did get me a plastic tiara with a veil for when we go out to dinner with the girls later tonight.

The ride down here wasn’t so bad, although we hit a lot of traffic in Connecticut, as usual. Parking was a nightmare – an hour and a half driving around before we gave up and put it in a lot.

Other updates – we’re still missing a lot of the RSVPs, which has me worried. Mom J. found and awesome pen for the guest book at the wedding – it looks like a superfancy pen, but it holds a Sharpie. And we all know how much I love Sharpies.

We’ll have pictures from the shower up after we get back home.

Time indeed flies.

Wow, it’s less than two months now, until the wedding. Invitations were sent out earlier this week, so if you’re invited, you should be getting it any day now.

We ordered a bunch of decorations the other night for the reception, and still have a bunch of stuff left to do, but we’re getting there.

Just 57 more days until the wedding, my my, time indeed flies.

New Halloween Pictures

Christine — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 01:14:51 +0000

Halloween Season is in full swing in Salem already, and Mike and I gave in to the frenzy by carving our pumpkins a weekend early. Check out our Halloween photo album. Mike carved a really complicated Headless Horseman design and I stuck with a moderately difficult Ghostie in the Graveyard design.

The bonus? Now I have almost three cups of pumpkin seeds to roast. Mmmm.
