Home Sweet Home
Erika and I drove up to Michigan this weekend and started moving into our family’s house on White Lake near where I grew up. I went to high school near here, and I’m pretty familiar with the rough winters. On our drive up, we drove through freezing rain and snow – Erika’s first time behind the wheel in inclement weather, since we took both cars up. I’d wanted to give her an ice-driving training session in a parking lot somewhere, but no time for that!
It’s birthday central around here:
- November 9 – Joe Sullivan (the guy who taught me how to program)
- November 10 – me, Don Duncan (my manager at Southern, another former Michigander)
- November 11 – my much better half Erika, my sister Emily
These people all rock.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to go catch up on the hundreds of emails I missed since I took off on Thursday for the moving voyage. Inbox Zero is going to be especially tough today!
Nice place Brent, makes me miss home with all those leaves on the ground. Glad to hear Erika survived her first time driving in the frozen tundra of the north.
Incidentally, my birthday is the 23rd so we both share November birthdays as well.
I’m from NJ and the homes around here are also covered in leaves. It looks nice and peaceful; good luck with the move.
Happy belated Birthday!
Love all the trees and the leaves! I too am a November baby! Mine is the 26th!
Happy birthday! May God continue to shower forth His Blessings to you and your family.
You will need to take the better half ice fishing.. A true northern adventure! BTW I think I remember going to a party here?
Ah, that was my other grandparents, Grandma & Grandpa Ozar. And I really did get disinherited for that party! How funny. It was totally worth it, heh….
