http://www.irvsjournal.com Another day in the life... Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:27:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm fairly certain that no one reads this, and I haven't been too much in the updaty mood lately, hence no posts. Been pretty busy at work, with a little bit of travel, and some late nights back at the office. On the plus side, the climate control issue has been fixed and ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=150 No big detailed post.  Just wanted to say Alaska was AMAZING!  Highlights: Aleutian Ballad (Deadliest Catch) Crab Boat tour.  WOW I would say if you had to choose one excursion to do, this would be it.  From showing us their fishing techniques, to telling fishing stories, I don't think I had ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=148 I must say that this trip was much better than I had even expected. Esther and I packed late into the night on Friday.  We then had to get up extra early to get to Steven and Jennifer's wedding on Saturday morning.  This really led to a really frazzled exit from ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=130 We're leaving this Saturday for our cruise! Wow, it has certainly snuck up on us pretty quickly. I'm pretty excited, since this will be my first cruise. Gotta get packed, since we're going to Steve and Jen's wedding on Saturday AM and then heading straight to the airport for ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=129 What's new: Got a new car! Woot, I love the S2000 so far. Going to put the IS300 back to stock and send it back to my parents. Yeah I'm pretty sure about putting back to stock, even if I was going to sell it. Refinancing the house. Yeah, ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=128 So I guess I skipped over the entire month without a post. I guess we were on the go a lot, all things considered. I was home for a few weeks from Japan, then headed out to Virginia for a week. Finally back and looks like March ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=127 Work trip number one for the year.  Heading off to Japan next week.  Hopefully back by 2/2.  Woopie I'm spending my birthday in Japan! Nothing really too exciting to talk about... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=125 Back after the holiday break.  For starters, it was a lot busier than I expected.  Though I guess that's expected for the holidays. Didn't get to finish my bathroom projects like I had planned, but oh well.  There's always time to do more projects! Amy and Sean were in town so we ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=122 RAIN! Wow, it seriously hasn't rained like this in years. I love the rain... except when I have to be outside or drive around in it. Somewhat concerned about the recently burned areas, since the land is probably in a fragile state. Hopefully the hillsides hold up. It's supposed ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=116 Esther and I decorated our house for Christmas!  Woohoo!  Actually, with the small amount of lights that we've put up, it really didn't take us long at all.  First time decorators, both of us.  I'm thinking of trolling around for post-Christmas deals on lights and other decorations... In the meantime, we're ... http://www.irvsjournal.com/?p=113
