We bought a nice "fix-er-upper"

The other nigh I received a kind nudge, nay a plea to the fact that this documentation of our life is becoming extremely outdated! Today I honor the friend with this publication, Happy Birthday Kylie Anne Bills, our Russian friend! I will proceed to explain a little about our lives since it has been quite some time since our last update. To all our followers we begin by expressing our deep regrets and urging your forgiveness. We attribute our lack of diligence to this blog to that terribly present foe, procrastination. Although procrastination is an ever-present part of our relationship to this blog, we have been seeing to making our life full of adventure. I will now proceed to give an accounting of the last few months.


After our decision to become parents of our sea monkey children we were struck with sudden tragedy. We lost all of our countless sea monkeys to a plague known as "Morior Laetus" or in common tongue "I die happy". Fortunately it is a disease that causes the brain to secrete the chemical dopamine which is part of reward driven learning and is usually released during times of stress relief, it also causes your blood pressure to go up along with your pulse. Our children were fortunate enough to have there bodies shut down while at the same time feeling a sense of happiness and content. They all lived such noble lives! Never speaking out any lies or blaspheme! In fact living a life in silence, almost as if it were in a bubble. 

 We are grateful for that experience and we hope that we can in the future give more joy to those around us including our future kids. I do not know when we will be prepared to have children again but we are always looking to improve our lives so that we may be prepared. 

We made one big step in improving our situation. It is nice because it has been keeping us busy and our minds off the difficult challenges that we have faced. We decided to buy a nice "fix-er-upper"! We love it! It is a nice spacious home with a good sun roof! 

Yes, yes you might ask, "Do you know how to do all the repairs?" My response to all the skeptics is with correcting your question. Your question should have been, can you google or youtube anything you want about how to fix this place up? My answer to that question is a resounding "Yes!" 

For example, If you want to learn how to drywall visit here: http://www.drywall-how-to.com/

The list goes on and on and yes there are somethings that we will hire others for but it will be a fun project!


Here is a picture of us in front of our new place!


I don't want to overwhelm you with too much stuff, but just know that we are Shakin' it up!


We hope to hear from you soon and we love you!
