YEAH!

I am so glad that the work week is over!! I couldn't be happier that I have a long weekend. It has been one LONG week, that's for sure!! I've been working late every night, and then come home and work in our basement until midnight. Tomorrow we get our carpet and then our basement should be pretty well finished!! I am SO happy about that. :) YEAH!!! I'll try and post pictures once everything is in it's place to give you an idea of what we've been working on all this time.

Busy Week

I'm sure glad that today is my last day of work for the week!! I've been looking forward to tomorrow because it's the day we get our new carpet put in downstairs in our basement. It's going to look really nice. Even though I'm looking forward to it, it's meant being VERY busy the past few days painting and trying to get as much done as possible!! It's been very hard to find the colors we want and stuff. I'm glad it's almost all done!!

Epocrates, Inc

I enjoy browsing the web and sharing new information with people. Recently I read some interesting information in a press release that I felt was worth sharing. Epocrates, Inc has been credited with creating PDA medical reference software for doctor's who need access to drug guide information like drug dosing, side effects and even health plan coverage. How convenient is that to have access to all that information right there from their PDA?!! It's not only nice for the health care professional, but also the paitent who now doesn't have to sit in the exam room and wait for the doctor to get the drug information in a different room. You can learn more on their site today!
This announcement was paid for by Epocrates.

Busy Painting

Boy have we been busy so far this week!! Every night I've been working down in our basement, trying to get the painting done before our carpet gets laid on Friday. It isn't going quite as smoothly as we had hoped...and is taking us a bit longer to get it all done. Tonight is my last chance to get things painted and finished, because I'm afraid if we have to paint tomorrow it won't be dry by the following morning when the guys come to lay the paint. I'm going to be working hard to get it all done tonight!!

Fun Weekend

What a good feeling it is to already be Friday. I always look forward to my weekends....as this is the main time that I not only can get some work done around the house, but most importantly it is the time when I can spend with my wonderful wife and daughter!! I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Jen and I have been talking about going to the pool with Kaelyn for the first time! I really think Kaelyn would enjoy that. We've also been throwing around the idea of going to the zoo as well. We'll see how he weather cooperates, but either way...being with them will make this weekend wonderful!

Interesting Research

There are many controversial topics among us today...but one of the ones I hear about most is that of stem cell research. I typically do not listen too closely to the discussion on stem cell harvesting, but today I read something that was quite interesting! Researches have actually found that there are important stem cells that can be harvested from a woman's menstrual blood. Women don't often think of getting ill, number one because they don't have time to think about it with work, family, etc...and also when they're in the prime of life this is not something that comes to mind. Now though, it's simple to help make sure you that you and your family will be protected from some devastating illnesses and diseases like osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. C'elle is a service that wants to help give women a method for collecting and preserving stem cells from their menstrual fluid each month. It's really quite interesting and something you can learn more about on their site through a Celle Client Testimonial and in the following press release:

Taking Control: Future Therapies for a Host of Serious Diseases May Be Found in Women's Menstrual Blood

July 07, 2008: 01:28 PM EST


OLDSMAR, Fla., July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With today’s hectic lifestyle, where most women are juggling careers, family, relationships, and a host of activities, the idea of possibly facing a serious illness in the future is not something that readily comes to mind -- especially when a woman is in the prime of her life. But what most women don’t know, is that the key to treating a number of possibly life-threatening diseases that she, a parent, a sibling or even her children may face in later years, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, may be found within her own body -- in vital stem cells, which can now be harvested from her own menstrual blood.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary research and technology of C’elle, a service dedicated to providing women with a safe and easy method of collecting and preserving stem cells found in her menstrual fluid each month, even the busiest woman can take control of her future, right in the privacy of her own home. With C’elle’s non-invasive collection process, menstrual cells are processed and cryo-preserved (stored at a very low temperature) for potential cellular therapies that may be used in the future. These self-renewing cells one day may even be used for sports medicine or cosmeceutical treatments, such as anti-aging therapies.

"C’elle enables and empowers a woman to take control of her future health, and possibly of those genetically closest to her, in a fast, painless and stress free way," said Michelle Kay, Marketing and Sales Manager for C’elle. "We live in exciting times, as science and technology are discovering how extremely valuable menstrual blood stem cells really are, and the enormous treatment potential they represent for future therapies. C’elle’s ongoing research is supporting these promising findings."

Kaelyn's First Parade

Jen and I had the opportunity to take Kaelyn to the parade here in town over the holiday weekend. It was her first parade, so we didn't know how she'd react, or how she'd like it. Thankfully it was a big hit...and she loved it!! She sat in her stroller and on our laps and just starred at all the floats. She did so good!! It got a little long though...so just before the parade ended she fell asleep. It was a good time! I'm glad we went.

Work Boots

Have you ever wondered where you could find police gear? I know I have, especially the great work boots that you see them all wearing. Well, now you can see for yourself at Workbootsusa.com.

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Time spent with family is always a good time. We're going to be spending time with my mom's side of the family and then Jen's family too!! It is definitely going to be a good time. I hope that the weather is nice like it always is...as the lake is a great place to spend the holiday weekend. We usually eat way too much, and get way too much sun , but it's still fun!

Shop For Weddings

I remember back when we were planning our wedding....it gets pretty expensive if I remember right. Every little detail costs money. Not only that, but it take a lot of time finding the perfect items that you are looking for. That's why I think it's great that there are now sites out there to make planning a wedding easier and less stressful. Shop For Weddings makes it easy for you to shop for weddings. You can find cheap and personalized wedding favors. Also...a wonderful source to find gifts for your bridesmaids and groomsman and wedding cameras. I was really impressed with all they had to offer...and I think you will be too. Check it out and see what you think.

Pests

Last night when i got home from work, Jen had asked me if I would go put the hose away. She was watering plants and the mosquitoes were attacking her like crazy. I went out and she was right...they were everywhere! Then tonight we heard the mosquito fogger truck go by. They spray some sort of a bug spray which is supposed to kill them off. I don't know if it really does any good or not...I sure hope so though. They make being outside no fun at all!

Curb Appeal

Recently we did some landscaping around our house. We kept it pretty simple, as this is what we like best. So far the plants and flowers all seem to be doing very well! I am surprised, as Jen nor I have green thumbs so to speak. They're all growing very well though, and have really added to the "curb appeal" of our house. At some point we would like to add some more rock to the front of the house and get rid of a HUGE tree in our front yard...but so far it's looking really nice!

Cable Shopping Network

Have you ever heard of the Cable Shopping Network? I hadn't until just recently but was quite impressed. It's a great place to find many products and collectibles that you might be looking for.

Need to get to work

I suppose I better get working on the basement soon. I have been trying to do a lot of mudding and sanding over the past week and it's really coming along well. I want to be sure to keep it up, because the carpet people will be calling us soon and we definitely want to have all that done before the carpet gets laid. Hopefully even with the busy weekend that we have...we'll get it all done soon. That would be great!!

Summer Vacation

Jen and I have been seriously discussing taking a little vacation this summer. We don't want to go anywhere to far because of money, gas and having Kaelyn still be so young. However...we do think she'd really enjoy a zoo maybe. There's one here in our state that is supposed to be really good...and best of all it's free!! Now we just need to decide when and if we're going to make a weekend of it or what.

Paintball

Teething

Kaelyn has been sleeping great lately...but she tends to get sad every once in a while for no reason. This is exactly how she was acting the last time she got her teeth in. We're thinking she must bet working on getting the top ones in now....as they're swollen and she's overly grumpy. I feel so bad for her, as it's no fun to feel like there's really nothing you can do to take away the pain completely. Hopefully it will be a quick process and they'll pop through soon.

A Day at the Lake

Last weekend we really wanted to get to the lake...but it started raining. We had Kaelyn in her swimsuit for the first time and she was so excited!! She'll really enjoy this weekend, as she'll get to be out at the lake a lot on Friday! I'm looking forward to letting her get in her swimsuit and even put her feet in the water. She'll have so much fun. The family will be happy to see her too!! I can't wait!! What a fun time it will be.

Midwest Auto Recycling

Anyone who is into cars as much as I am has probably heard of midwest auto recycling, right?! I really like this company because they specialize in used engines and transmissions...definitely something that many of us have to replace at one point or another. They also offer a strong warranty nationweide. What's so great about them? Well, besides the fact that all the engines come completely assembled, they also are inspected, tested, and cleaned!!These are not things that you find just anywhere. So, if you're looking to learn more about Midwest Auto Recycling...head over to their site today! You won't be sorry you did.

So busy

This week is just flying by!! I can't believe it's already Wednesday night!! I think it's going by so quickly because all I've been doing is working non stop. I go to work, and then when I come home I go downstairs and continue working on mudding and sanding the walls that we've put up. It's a big job, but will be so worth the time put in when it's all done! I can't wait!! The carpet will be getting put in sometime this month so that will be really nice too. I don't mind working so much when it's for something for our home. It will be a great place to spend time as a family!

Weather

The weather has been just beautiful lately!! It seems like every time they say it's going to rain...it doesn't. Instead it's been sunny and warm for a few days in a row now. That's great for the area we live in! Hopefully the weather will stay the same throughout the weekend so everyone can enjoy being outdoors with loved ones over the holiday weekend!! I know that's what I'm hoping for anyways. It would be quite the bummer to be stuck inside all weekend. Thankfully it looks like it's going to be beautiful!

X8 Drums

I recently came across a hand drum specialty store called, X8 Drums. I was reading a web release of theirs that announced that they have a new line of Pro African X8 djembe drums. They have the best selection of handcrafted djembe drums and accessories anywhere! I liked reading that they are importing some great custom models for both beginners and professionals and all those in between. If you're someone who would enjoy a djembe drum...you should definitely look at X8 Drums. You'll find handmade and beautiful work here and a company with you in mind. Take a look at their site today to learn more and get more information. You won't be sorry you did.

This Weekend

This weekend is going to be a lot of fun! Tomorrow night is the parade in our town, then Friday we are spending the day at the lake. Saturday Jen has a family reunion on her side of the family that we're going to, which should be a lot of fun as well! Sunday will be wonderful as well....as Jen's brother and his family are coming up to visit for the afternoon. We haven't seen them since Christmas so it will be fun to see their little guy and how much he's grown. I can't wait to see him and Kaelyn play together.

8 months old

Our little girl turned 8 months old yesterday! Some may not think that sounds old...but to us as her parents, we can't believe she's already that old!! Where does the time go?? I can't believe it's already been 8 months since we brought her home from the hospital!! It's amazing how quickly they grow and change. She's already pulling herself and trying to cruise along furniture...soon I'm sure she'll be trying to walk without assistance. What a big girl!
