So, maybe some of you remember that Aaron used to call "Ichabod Crane", "Nichabod Train" instead.

Well, I'm not sure if he realizes it, but that is what we continue to say in our family, including my dad, UJ. Yep, it's "Nichabod Train".

So, it's that time of year, and it's my favorite time of year, and I really think I need to get to Salem, MA for a Halloween one of these days.

Just wanted to say thanks to Aaron and Rachael for a great time at the cubs game. It was a great time. Also congrats to Amanda winning steak dinner at the casino. Thanks again! You are all great friends.

My mom got Bee and I a game called "Would You Rather?" that poses hundreds of difficult life questions that one may encounter. We're not really sure how to play the game, we just like to read the questions. We played with Granny last week and I heard her say two swears within one sentence and then the game was over because Bee and I were crying too hard. So I'm bringing it to the blog. Here's the first round for the blog, an actual question from the game - ponder, respond, discuss....

WOULD YOU RATHER:

Thoroughly lick the entire surface of ten $1 bills and $2 worth of quarters

OR

Thoroughly lick the mouthpieces of 4 football players after a game?

Ok...I have made our lodging arrangement for Portland...Rachel and I are planning on arriving on the west coast on Tueday September 12, 2006 and will spend two nights at the Spanishhead Inn for our one year anniversary. We will probably explore the coast while we are there...Then on Thursday September 14, 2006 we will be relocating to McMenamin's Edgefield, where we have reserved a room next to Bee and Kris! We will be leaving for home on Sunday...Not sure when...I am waiting for Southwest to publish their schedules for September to book airfare! Here we come!

The blog has fallen ill...

We would like to take this time to wish you all a very HAPPY EASTER!!!!

Xmas and New Years pictures from the Villa Park Dudas are posted in the gallery!

I SAY CONGRATULATIONS AND WHOSE NEXT?!?!?!?!?! Zooey?

Where? Oh where has he gone? Without Nick it's like no blog at all. who will keep this blog alive? Who will rally the blogging frenzy?

Wow...It has been a long time...Good to see this place is still goin'...Still a hotbed of memories, ideas and funny. Rachel and I are really looking forward to Thanks Giving...We are also throwing around the idea of going to Knoxville, TN for new years...Maybe get a "loud and rowdy" on the way down and light it off on the day of reckoning...We will most likely drive...So what is everyone else doing for thanks giving?

I just wanted to leave my cute husband a happy
anniversary on Aaron and Rachel's blog!

Happy Anniversary Pumpkin...what's in the bag?

Oh and Jen YUM! Thanks!

Love all you guys!
