My Techie Husband

John knows more about computers than anyone I know. He had his own business when he was younger building computers from scratch and then selling them. I am the complete opposite when it comes to technology. When John and I first started dating, I only had a VCR (no DVD player). I think he thought I was living in the dark ages. John bought me my first DVD player and my first TIVO! Here are some pics of John building us a new server (which involved a 2 hour trip to Microcenter). This server is going to be used to backup all of our documents and pictures so that if something happened to my computer, we would not lose everything. Here are a few pics of John hard at work in his office (or man cave as he likes to call it :)

Our New Elliptical

John and I decided to get an elliptical for the house. When I go to the gym, I use the elliptical 95% of the time. We have had it about 2 weeks and I am LOVING having it here. One cool thing about it is that it has a built in TV. This is great because I usually schedule my workouts around my favorite evening shows. I was joking with John about how it would be cool if it would hook up to the DVR and I could watch the shows I record. Well, guess what, John figured out how to do it. Now I can watch all my faves while I workout. It is so nice to have such a technologically advanced husband. Here are a few pics of the new machine.

I asked John to take a picture of me before I worked out.
The after workout shot would not be pretty!

Memorial Day

We always try to get together and grill on Memorial Day Weekend. We had chicken ka-bobs, grilled corn and brownies!

Mother's Day 2009

For Mother's Day, we spent the day at Mother and Daddy's house. Daddy grilled ribs! It was especially nice this year because it was Erica's First Mother's Day
The Grill Master!
