Gobble gobble. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I’m not sure what turkey costs a pound normally, but I’ve seen one grocery bragging it had turkeys for $.68/lb and another touting $.67/lb. Unless you’re planning on buying an automobile sized turkey, a penny a pound shouldn’t really make all that difference.
Anyways, I thought I’d do [...]
Charleston’s WSAZ news has this stereotypical story about West Virginian dental hygiene:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Researchers found advanced gum disease in 80 percent of adults studied for a major oral health study in Appalachia.
The project by West Virginia University and the University of Pittsburgh tracked 445 families in both states.
Richard Crout, associate dean for research [...]
Last weekend we headed up to Beckley to help my parents rid their soon-to-be-for-sale home of any left over junk of mine and to help them get ready for their move to Pennsylvania any way we could. My dad and I chopped down our old wooden play jungle gym dealy (video of the chainsaw action [...]
Two weekends ago my parents gave my siblings and me something we really needed: a vacation. Why go to the beach or on a cruise or out west when you live in West Virginia? Thus, we went to Ansted, WV to the Country Roads Cabins. I hope this post doesn’t end up with a bunch [...]
I posted previously about our trip to Huntington, WV, over the weekend of May 23 to celebrate the wedding of our friends Jason and Suzie. Yesterday I finally found the time to resize, rename, and upload our pictures and two videos. There's a video of Emily on the Videos page praying at the opening of the service (you might need to turn up the volume quite a bite to hear her as I was seated in the back). Also, you can find around 140ish new pictures in our photo gallery of the rehearsal, shower, wedding, reception as well as a video of the bride's entrance.
Congratulation, Mr. & Mrs. Webb!
We're in Huntington, WV, now for our good friend Suzie's wedding later today. If you'll recall, this is where we first met. In fact, last night we drove past the house where we really first met at a luau party there the first week of school at Marshall back in August of 2003! The set of steps on the front porch where I first sat down to talk to Emily is till there, though I don't remember the neighorhood at the time being so sketchy. I guess I had far greater fish to fry than to be thinking urban gentrification. Anyways, the wedding's this afternoon at 4:00pm. We're planning on taking bunches of pictures and, of course, they'll be posted here with the myriad others.
On a more comical note, we left Beckley yestersday where we stayed at my parents' house. With Emily putting on the bridal, lingerie shower this morning for the bride, we've got the car packed down with goodies. Our foremost biggest fear was that we would forget something in Wake Forest. The second biggest fear was that we would forget something in Beckley on the second leg of the trip. Well, while what we feared most didn't come upon us, the secondary fear did. We (I say Emily, Emily says I) forgot in Beckley the dress she was planning to wear to the shower this morning. Oops.
My mom calls when we're just pulling into Huntington: "Houston, we've got a problem." Problem indeed. She said, "Don't worry I can probably find someone that's headed that way and can have it up to you by morning." Watch out UPS, Mom's on the prowl. Sure enough, she texted me about 30 minutes later saying she found someone from church that was headed up to Huntington in the morning for work and could take the dress with! Brilliant. It's almost 7:30am now so I've got to run out to a machine shop just outside of Huntington and pick up a frilly dress.
