Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

It might be kind of hard to see, but it’s snowing in Blacksburg right now. Pretty good, too. Won’t last, though.

Matt just sent this to me… I wonder if his metaphorical “ovaries are exploding” or something because mine aren’t.

And this is why I moved back to the ‘Burg.

The new kits are in! Can’t wait for the first game. Of course, I say this now, let’s see how I do in goal for the first game.

Since I’m in the best shape of my life, I’ve decided to play soccer this season. I registered with the New River United Soccer Association, but was told that they could not guarantee I would get “drafted.” Lo and behold, I was drafted as a keeper by The Goats of Castle’s Kettle & Pub - a restaurant still under construction in Blacksburg.

The owners, despite still working on their establishment, were very enthusiastic about sponsoring a local football club and while I have no idea how this season will go, I’m confident that I’ll have a great time. It’s been awhile - 15 years - since I’ve played organized soccer, so here’s hoping I don’t embarrass myself!

When the new pub opens, you’re all invited to join me for a pint!

just sayin… don’t have any tumblr friends that are from blacksburg and would like to, but since i don’t have any to help get the word out what’s the point in trying to set one up and keep my fingers crossed that someone else would see the listing?

I’ve been thinking about this for some time. Just need to pick a date and time and go for it!

When I have children they will know all the words to this song! I love it that little boy is so cute! Yay for future Hokies :)

That’s my son! Good job, buddy!

Already looking forward to taking the Boy to Steppin’ Out again this year! Last year, he learned how to hulu hoop. Last month, I was approached by an ad agency that asked if they could pitch this video to a client for a commercial. I said sure, but the client chose another clip. Their loss!

(38/365 - March 28, 2011) Last week it was 80 degrees and spring was in full effect. Today, it’s snowing. Go figure.

Out like a lion, as they say. A snowy morning in the ‘Burg.

(19/365 - March 9, 2011) Spring break couldn’t have come at a better time for Virginia Tech students. Since they’ve been gone, we’ve been getting soaked here in the NRV. We had 2-4 inches of rain last weekend and are currently being doused with another 1-3 inches. It’s cold, wet and miserable here in the Burg. But, it still beats living in Charlottesville!

Just another day in Bleaksburg.

I was at the Media Annex building near Squires today and snapped this shot. It’s a beautiful fall day here in Blacksburg today. Currently 66 degrees. Just perfect!
