Kitchen Remodel Week2
Week 2 was spent assembling most of the cabinet boxes, affixing hardware to the doorfronts, and removing all the old cabinet doors.
Kitchen Remodel Week1
We've been talking about it since we moved into our house, and now the time has arrived. We're remodeling our outdated kitchen. On Saturday, June 2nd, we woke up at 5:30am to get down to Ikea to order our cabinets. The entire project will take several weeks but this gallery will be a running view of where we're at.

Prep for Jenna's Wedding
Amy has been baking up a storm over the last few weeks. Not only did she do two cakes back to back, but she has been practicing tons of cookie and cupcake recipes getting ready for Jenna's wedding next week. Here are some of the products of her experiments.
Eirini's Fairy Cake
Amy made an awesome cake for Eirini's birthday...
Peanut's Visit & 10K
Amy's sister Alina came up to visit us and participate in the Charleston Bridge Run. We had a great time hanging out, checking out the SC Aquarium, making pottery and a whole lot of other stuff! Pnut and I finished the race in an hour and two minutes. Amy and Adriana were walk/running together and made it in not far behind us at 1:36.
SxSW 2007
As a webdesigner, the biggest professional gathering each year is South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas. I've been wanting to go for the last couple years, and initally decided against it again this year, but changed my mind at the last minute with the prospect of promoting my book and meeting all the people whose website screenshots I used in it.
Valentine's Day Cookies
What happens when inspiration, a holiday and sugar get combined? A recipe for cookie bouquets! I spent a better part of the weekend and a few days before Valentine's Day arranging these sweet treats for 6 coworkers and friends. Each cookie on a stick was made with love, tied with a festive ribbon and arranged in a pink flower pot. It was a lot of hard work, but I am very happy with how they turned out.
John Mayer
When Ames heard John Mayer was coming to Columbia, her and her friend Adriana decided to buy tickets they day they became available. The concert was awesome. A band called Soulive, which none of us had heard of opened up for him and they were pretty good too!
SNOW
For the first time since we moved here, it's snowing in Columbia. We had a "wintery mix" a few days ago, and that's what we were expecting this morning, but instead it started snowing. Amy and I were so excited that we had to go out and take some pictures and video.
