From Arkansas to Texas
Yesterday we successfully made it from Arkansas, all the way through Oklahoma, and into Amarillo, Texas. We got some pictures of the trees disappearing, and at least one of me where I would appreciate it if you would ignore the multiple chins.

Exploring Downtown Chattanooga
After recovering from the delicious lunch, we spent Wednesday evening exploring downtown Chattanooga with Jason and Kaylin. I got a few decent pictures of them and us loving on each other and standing around the lovely buildings. There were a bunch of people playing and swimming in the fountains. Perhaps it’s because I think of Baltimore’s Inner…

Cooking with Kristopher
On Tuesday we invited Kristopher over to Jason and Kaylin’s house while they were at work and cooked some absolutely mouth-watering grilled vegetable sandwiches and sweet potato fries. Prep time was much longer than we expected, but even Rachel admitted the meal was worth the wait. I think we can congratulate ourselves on a job…

I’m earnestly attempting to reduce the…

Three-D, Leave Me Be
I made it through the first half of the year without seeing a single movie in the theater. It wasn’t a goal or anything, I just didn’t find anything compelling enough to make me spend the time and money. In the past two weeks I’ve seen as many in-theater movies, and nearly every trailer concluded…

Numbing the Mouth
Last week Rachel and I went with some friends to the Red Pearl, a new Chinese restaurant in Columbia. Our server, Ben, was able to immediately tell me which dishes contained peanuts—an excellent start. Even with so many peanut allergies this is a rare trait; most of the time they have to go back and…
