a unified contradiction since '04
we barely made it, but we still have half an hour of Valentine’s Day 2012 left, so on the 10th anniversary of our first kiss I give you our love story.
have a minute, or 2, or maybe a few more? 
believe it or not, we did leave out some details!
)
Well we made it to the other side of one of the most insane winter storms I have ever seen (David). We had a freaky drive home from Ia City on Tuesday and then Wednesday I shoveled so much snow that it made me rue the day i decided to buy a shovel instead of a snow blower. We made it though with the added blessing of an extra day at home, the snow was so bad that they even cancelled work!! First time that i recall !! On Thursday I spent the afternoon with the kids I learned the first three numbers in Chinese “eee, ar , san, ” thanks Kai-Lan and then we went to the Kalona Coffee House and i was blown away by the ridiculous amount of snow that was piled up by the side of the road, it looked like everyone in Kalona was building snow forts ! I wonder how many tons of snow fell on the ground… crazy! So bad that they had to haul snow out with dump trucks.
So yeah we’re still here in the winter wonderland called Iowa counting the days until March 20th (beginning of Spring) .
For anyone that reads this in Ia big FYI: It’s game night at the Kalona Coffee House . We’ll be there enjoying the awesome coffee and the cool games with cool peeps.
Now for nap time…
Well so ends another weekend in the household of the Dillers. We have sadly come to the resolution that we are going to commiserate with our fellow Iowans and spend the winter here. We’ve already had a couple of inches of snow just this week, and I don’t think we’ve had any days that have been above freezing (I don’t track this too well so don’t quote me). So BLAH. Christina and I decided this after much thought, the trip wasn’t going to be long if we did go, so what is the worth of going to good weather and coming back to crappy weather. I have about 2 wks of paid time off at work so I think we’ll make use of those during this winter and get some stuff done with our business. yay !!
Bouncing the subject… I was so glad to receive a package of yummys from the church matriarchs!!! I guess they made some time to take care of our kids and make food for the parents!! I have to admit, this is one of the reasons why Iowa just rocks, nowhere in my travels have I encountered such a loving church family. I was blown away when we had Maeve, cus for 2 weeks we ate like pigs, because people in the church made meals for us, and now this! Sooooo… for those of you that don’t live in Iowa, stay where you are!!! Once mid-March comes along, THEN move to Iowa (I hope Kirk & Karla read this …).
I guess there’s not much more to tell. I’m proud of us because our house has had a good semblance of order for the past week. It’s amazing how much nicer and less stressful life is with a clean house.Well got to go!! Oh a funny!! The other day we were praying for lunch and we were going to watch “the office ” and so I finish, and Maeve adds her little tag “an Gamma (grandma), an Tapaw (grandpa), an Michael!!!!” hee hee I guess if you don’t watch the Office then sorry, and you should really come out of the cave and get some fresh air! Apparently she knows who he is!! ha ha!! Have an awesome week!! For those of you in IA, pray for God to have mercy on us.
David for the Dillers
Lets start with the latter… “twas the night before thanksgiving ,and all thru the house every creature was stuffing it’s face probably even the mouse”, and so it went with thanksgiving day , the day after, saturday, and yes potluck 5th sunday at church !! I think it goes without saying that I am dieting or at least trying to excersise some sort of much needed moderation with my eating . I think i was a bit too happy go lucky with my diet . I didn’t really eat anything at work so i was hungry all day , and therefore felt justified in gorging myself when supper came around. I’m packing a lunch now, and trying to limit my calorie intake to about 2059/day which should get me to losing 2.5 pounds a week. I hope to someday get to 200lbs which would be where i should be , i think. Im a bit concerned with the “extra me”, i know for a fact that i should do some sort of physical activity, but truth be told , its hard to find the time and resovle to do it.
Eddy was here , and singlehandedly gave a boost to the US economy by buying pretty much everything that crossed his sight. I guess it can be excused since all the stuff he bought has about a 75% price hike in Costa Rica. It was very good to have our southern friend here , we had alot of fun with him, and Maeve was duly spoiled by him. Another source of spoilage was the ever spoiler aunt Kimberly. The Chandlers made their yearly appearance for Thanksgiving, and helped us with the gorge-fest. They also gave us the Aunt Kiki treatment which is much fun for everyone, always unpredictable , but always fuuuuunn!! I think the world would be a better and funner place if everyone had fun relatives (cus i had lots of fun with Tim also, I didnt see Morgan much tho, but i’m sure she was fun for those that were around her) from the South.
So yeah it was one of the more memorable Thanksgivings fun, family friends and food . Now for some fwork.
Salute ,
David , for the Dillers
The title of this post sums up my Nov 4th experience. Now before you slap me with the “sore loser” label know this , the shivers came when I heard B.O. (wow!! that works kinda well) give his acceptance speech. I have to hand it to him , he is an extremely gifted speaker , and if he lives up to a 16th of the hype about him then he’ll surpass in presidential “status” his co-illinoisian Abe Lincoln (suppressed chortle here). OK !!!! you can slap it on now!!!!! I have to admit that while i was listening to the speech there were shivers going down my spine , I was moved ! I wished I could’ve for just a second lost all my reasoning capabilities , and joined the crowd of O-zombies . Oh well … I thank God for the brain I got and the uphill battle that comes with my proper wiring .
On another note . I HATE IE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ummm with a passion that burns ever brighter … Ummmm HATE IT!!! if you are reading this in IE GET A REAL BROWSER HERE OR HERE OR HERE. OH and please never insult my blog by coming back in the stinking pile of horse-butt-hairs!!! BTW IE stands for Internet Explorer… and BTW stands for by the way.
WOW !! that felt good!!!
We’re doing fine . My friend Eddy is coming for Thanksgiving and so we’re looking forward to some good times eating Casey’s Pizza ( he was actually craving it ) . Maeve’s vocabulary is increasing rapidly ,it’s kinda funny to suddenly find out that she knows a word . Today I found out that she knows the word for butt… heh heh!! Kinda scary also … I only see her saying ”aw crap ” at church. ” Yeah it was the Diller’s kid!!!” . Anyways … So she’s smart and healthy and Mommy and Daddy are super busy so yeah thats us in a nutshell . Blessings and I’ll start working on some recent pics.
