For my 32nd birthday Tilly hooked me up with a tandem skydiving jump from 13,000 feet. [...]

Catching up with Friends in Kauai
Next week Nate and I are heading to Hawaii. We rented a house with some of Nate’s college roommates and their wives/fiances on the island of Kauai. It’s going to be eight days of sunshine, beaches, hiking, boating, luaus and pure bliss. Now some of you might be wondering why Hawaii would be so great [...]
Houston, Friends, and Heroes
This week we took a flight to Houston, Texas, a city neither Tilly nor I had been to yet. The purpose was two-fold.

We could hardly believe it ourselves, until we booked it, double checked our seat reservations, printed everything and even called AirFrance on [...]
A Day of Rain and Doves
Today started off with a little clouds, but that never stops us from enjoying the warmth of the sea breezes here on the French Riviera. So, since we’re starting to adjust to the extremely slow French life, we went for a little stroll around town.
We returned after lunch to continue with the [...]
First Days in Our New French Home
The past few days have been a mix of wonderful and completely annoying. The annoying parts have been the lack of internet connection. Even though Tilly isn’t an internet-aholic like I am, even she finds being without the internet a major problem as we travel.
How do you find your way? What’s going [...]
This Week’s Adventures
A few of you who have been enjoying Tilly’s writings have asked when I was going to write next. Well, I don’t want to disappoint, so thanks for putting the pressure on.
Honestly, Tilly and I get stressed out at different times for different reasons which will help keep this blog up to date. [...]
