Wedding Bells


Tasia’s friend’s Kristen & Ivan got married this last weekend and it was supposed to be out first night away from Tegan but we figured out it wasn’t in the cards. We could not arrange it so someone could come stay at the house and we didn’t feel comfortable having her stay at someone else’s house. Thankfully Chad & Wendy came to the rescue and agreed to stop in, feed the monster, play with her, pee & poop her, and get her back in the crate. All went smashing on their end. We on the other hand got DRUNK and silly in La Jolla, actually taking a cab home  and getting her car the next day. The pictures don’t do the wedding justice but I think we looked pretty damn good!  : )

Wild at Heart



We ended up with not only a new puppy but the same week we got Tasia’s parents out to visit from Texas. I really like them and they are a lot of fun. We didn’t have a lot planned except a few dinners and a trip to the Wild Animal Park. I mean San Diego Zoo Safari Park or whatever the fuck it’s called now. We had a great time walking around, except it was so HOT, but we survived. We also did dinner at my parents house one night for burgers & beer. It was a very nice and relaxing evening. Did the tourista thing too by visiting the Hotel Del Coronado for drinks on the deck, sun and sand.

The majority of the time spent was hanging at the house with the puppy, which isn’t a bad thing.Overall a really great time.

Great Expectations (or whatever I can get out of the team)

As of Wednesday September 5th, there was the return of the greatest sport known to man and the glorious return of the NFL. Unfortunately, we start the season with replacement referees which could be a weird / bad thing. They did alright in pre-season but what will happen when the cards are down and the game is moving fast. As far as the Chargers, most of the “experts” aren’t picking them to do much, which is fine by me. I feel that when everyone says they should win the West or go to the Big Game, they flounder and fail. This year, with expectations lower, the team can grow and succeed at their own pace. This is all contingent on how well Philip Rivers does.
 

Last years debacle of 20 plus interceptions, DOES NOT win championships. He looked good in the pre-season, gaining some much needed confidence and comfort behind the line. His success will hinge on not rushing his passes. If he does that, Ryan Matthews does not fumble the ball, the receiving corp (that looks great on paper and the pres-season) does their job, Special Teams continues to CRUSH it, and the Defense plays well, my prediction is a 10 – 6 or 9 – 7 season.

Get out there and win, BOLTS!!!

Parents, Owners & Wardens



I felt this was fitting as my 500th Blog Posting to be about a MAJOR change in mine and our household's lives.

World. Meet Tegan.

Tegan came home with us on Labor Day 2012 and since then it has been a non-stop, knock down – drag out, 
exciting, sleepless, stressful, joyful, roller coaster ride. She is really awesome and super cute. She is REALLY 
SMART and will probably outwit both of us at some point. I will be doing updates on her periodically, as well as 
pictures. 

Here is the WEEK ONE here.
