A few weeks ago, Mike and Kelly Schmitt, a couple from here in Waukesha, were surprised when the crew from Good Morning America showed up to host from their house! They had been picked to help showcase what life is like on “Main Street” throughout America. I thought it a good reason to go and take some photos ;-)
The filming started at about 5:30am and it wasn’t quite warm yet…
The whole morning crew was there: Chris, Diane, Robin and Sam.
The local ABC affiliate was on hand to interview the GMA anchors.
And they brought along Rodney Atkins and his band. The bassist got a kick out of the Racing Sausages which showed up to promote the Brewers.

an anniversary present

Jess and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary yesterday! To celebrate, we added a new personality to our home. I introduce to you, Miley:
Miley is a 1.5 year old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who came to us by the same breeder as our first Cavalier, Oliver, did. Oliver meet with an untimely death a few years back and we miss him so. Kim, the breeder, was gracious enough to set us up to adopt Miley after her owner also met with an untimely death. Perhaps he is looking out for Oliver and we’ll look out after Miley for him!
We are very thankful to Kim and excited to have Miley at home with us. I hope you get the chance to meet her sometime. She’s got a lot of energy but will drop everything for some affection.
my new office

(Note: this might not be as exciting to you as it is for me.) This weekend my wife gave me a great gift – some new office space! I moved from downstairs to upstairs (it was a long and arduous journey – almost 18 steps!)
Seriously though, I’m just moving rooms but it feels like so much more. I’ve been able to reorganize how things are setup, which should give me more room to work and make me more efficient. It’s warmer upstairs (it’s been a cold winter!) The blue on the walls was my choice when we moved in five years ago. It’s ocean blue! And best yet (and this one is for my wife), if/when I get a bit messy, we can now can just close the door and life will be good again.
Yes, that is our elliptical on the right. Hopefully, I’ll spend some more time working out now as well!
Oh, and this desk is like the old t-shirt with holes in it that you just can’t bear to part with. I’ve had it for something like 8 years. I bought it on clearance and it’s been with through college and now almost six years of marriage. It’s been cut up, patched up, and scratched up. But until it doesn’t hold up, I guess I can’t give up on it.
