Axford to Nashville

Gentlemen,

I don't want to turn this into the John Axford fan page (or do I), but I thought I would post this positive article about Axford - link. Axford's going to start the season in Triple A Nashville, but don't be surprised to see him up with the big club again. My brother and I are already contemplating a road-trip to Nashville this summer. Tickets are like $12.

Axford - congratulations on a great Spring. I'll give you a call soon.

I would post something about my own life, but I'm not a major league pitcher. Jonathan and Meryl are visiting this week so you might want to look out for some drunk dials in the middle of week (I'm looking at you Ted). I'm slowing starting to pack up my belongings for my move at the end of April. Sam - are you in the new house yet? Wedding season starts in a little less than a month, and I am very excited as usual.

Take care,
Chris

When did Axford become so classy and respectable?

No wedding news, just an old fashion posting

It's been a while...

Fellers,

it's been far too long since I have posted on here. Thanks to Chris for trying to keep it going. I am getting ready to set off on the longest drive ever...Canada to Mexico!!! Well not quite Mexico. I'm actually going to San Diego which is pretty damn close. I'm taking off on Saturday morning and stopping in Iowa City that evening. Sunday, I'm driving as far as I can and hoping to get to Utah somewhere and hopefully the west side of the State. Monday I'm finishing in San Diego. I'm looking forward to the trip...perhaps I'll discover something new about myself. But it's a looooooooooooooooooong 38 hour trip so expect a phone call when I'm bored as all hell driving through mid-America.

I have no idea about any wedding right now. I'll know within a week before probably. My sister Theresa is getting married this Summer so that hurts my chances of getting away for any others.

I hope you're all well. Chris, it would be awesome if you could get away when I come through this Saturday, but I understand if you can not. It is Valentine's Day Weekend...and I'm leaving my wife! HA! I'm so nice. Sam, can't wait to see you and Amy again.

Lata hatas.

Friday Update

Gentlemen,

Nice looking house Sam. Hardwood floors and a finished basement look pretty nice. I call dibs on a bed the next time I'm out in Iowa City. Axford will be heading there on Valentine's Day weekend, which kind of sucks because it might be tough to get away.

I have my airfare booked for Pat's wedding. As I've mentioned in emails, I'm flying to Myrtle Beach. Of course the day after I booked, US Air put a nice direct flight to Charleston up. Oh well, I get to enjoy a nice drive down the coast. I haven't booked a hotel room yet, but Jonathan and I had talked about sharing a room (probably at the Marriott).

Molly and I have registered at Target and Macy's thus far. I don't say this to encourage you to buy us stuff, but rather to point out the absurdity that is registering. I know I'm the second to last one to get married (looking at you Greg), so I'm guessing you all have been through this. To me, registering is saying to yourself that everything you own right now is crap (or in my case, it's Molly telling me that my stuff is crap). We went to a "sip and scan" event at Macy's and they have all the vendors/company reps there to peddle there goods (Oh Capitalism). Then if you register for a bunch of shit from one company, they give you a free gift. I told Molly we should just register for 4-5 sets of pots and pans so we can get some free shit. I love free stuff. Anyways, I should not go on waxing philosophical about this, or the blog will truly die.

Winter is starting to make me stir crazy and it isn't even February yet.

Chris

April is the month to move

Thanks for posting Chris, your home looks beautiful. A great place to kick off married life. Im posting it here for the record: ive got dibs on the second bedroom for any future group trips to Chicago. Ha!

Some similar news from Iowa. On April 1, Amy and I will be moving into our first home! Really excited about it. From my first place in DC to our new home, this will make 8 moves in the last five years. I am really looking forward to settling down a bit. Its a 50 year home bordering a park, about 1-1.5 miles to campus. Some pictures below - I dont know how to do a slide show. Hopefully I can convince some of you to make it out to Iowa in the near future, id love some visitors.

So who is going to Pat's wedding? Im making my travel plans this week. Anyone need a roommate? Its unclear whether Amy can make it as her finals are the next week, but keeping our fingers crossed. May will be here before we know it. Another busy wedding season ahead!

Keep the posts coming. Looking forward to seeing you all this spring and summer.

New Place

I'm trying to save a dying blog. Molly and I found a place to begin our marital bliss. It's pretty close to where I'm living now, so the commute won't change dramatically. We're on the second floor of a 3-story house. It's an old building, but it's recently been rehabbed and we're pretty pumped about it. It has surround sound built into the ceiling. I'll move in at the end of April (one week before Pat's wedding), and Molly will move in after we're married. I've placed a slideshow below so you can see some pictures. It's a 2 bedroom apartment, so plan on visiting.

Take care,
Chris



PS - We are sending out the Save-the-Dates for our wedding this week. It's got hotel information on it. The Residence Inn has a free breakfast, shuttle to the reception, fridge and microwave, and is walking distance to a Target (you can buy booze at Targets in Illinois). That's my recommendation for you guys.
