Getting Hitched
After four years I’ve finally asked Liz to marry me, and she’s said yes. We’re so excited to be coming together. I won’t spend too much time talking about it here, because we have our own website, ChrisnLiz.com. The story of our relationship and all wedding details will be posted there.
My Oma
A week and a half ago my grandma, whom I have always referred to as “Oma” (the German word for grandma), passed away in her sleep. She was 93 years old. I feel pretty fortunate to have had her in my life as long as I did, she was truly one of the most beautiful [...]
Unbelievable
Image via Wikipedia I wrapped up the fall semester a little over a week ago, and it was a great semester. My classes were challenging, I learned a ton, and I earned good grades. All that remains between me and this degree are two classes and one lab. I’m going to earn a degree in [...]
Sleep
A few weeks ago I wrote about my pinched nerve, and even a subsequent trip to the doctor. Sigh, the pain has continued. During the day I’m moving around enough that its annoying but tolerable. Unfortunately, the most uncomfortable position is laying down. By now you can see the direction this is heading. Its difficult [...]
Doctor Visit
This morning when I woke up my arm was still bugging me. This morning marks four days in a row, that qualifies for a doctor visit. Its been so long since I’ve been to see a doctor that I no longer have a primary care physician, so I called my insurance company today to help [...]
Pinched Nerve
Early Friday morning I was laying in bed, in that kind of half asleep, half awake state. I moved to stretch out my arms over my head, just like I’ve done a million times before. Before I even got my arms stretched straight, a surge of pain shot up from my shoulder to my hand [...]
Security
A friend of mine was recently traveling, and was in the airport about to return home. As he was approaching the security check line he realized that he had his nail clippers with a small pen knife with him in his carry-on bag. Not wanting to exit the line to throw them away, he decided [...]
Pink
This week I learned to always check the color of stuff that you’re buying. For example… I’ve needed a new toothbrush for the past couple of weeks. Last week I was at the grocery store so I looked at all of the options. I’ve been using the battery powered Crest spin kind, so I decided [...]
Motivation
I’ve had more free time than usual. Since I’m not taking summer classes, most of my weekends and evenings are unaccounted for. I have a few creative things that I’d like to spend time on this summer: writing for this blog, a couple of other web projects, taking some photos, picking up my guitar, etc. [...]
Summertime
Wow, I can’t believe that its already been a month since my last blog post. Time flies when you’re not blogging. Wait, that came out wrong. Starting over… Since my last post I’ve finished up another semester and gotten started on summer work. This will be the first summer that I don’t take classes since [...]
