by-by-by memorial day weekend

So I just figured out that my wife, my baby and my dog's name begin with B and end with Y. What the hell were we thinking, I never thought I would have the family with names that match, whether it be first name letters, middle names, or anything else, but here I am. Not only do we have first letters, but they damn near rhyme. I tried to get Britt to change her name but that didn't work and Birkley is pretty much set. I tried to rename the dog, but the bitch wouldn't respond. We are soon to be the family with sappy almost rhyming names, sorry everybody I did what I could. I guess we still have nicknames, do what you will.

Memorial day weekend
I love this weekend. Most of the time I used to work through it and get a couple days off later to go fishing/camping/whatever the hell I wanted to do when nobody was around. I remember a couple of times when I was able to go out with friends to a lake that nobody knew about and go camping. I loved it, it was one of the few times I got to go camping in the year. I used to go way up north where nobody knew where I was, it was great, absolutely great. I never thought it could get better.
This year I am loading up my tools, wife, and friend and driving 7 hours to go to my in laws. We are going to our first baby shower. I am going to work on a basement all weekend and then pack up a bunch of pink and purple stuff in my truck and then head back the 7 hours to home. The surprising thing is that I am looking forward to every part of the extended weekend. When I break it down, think about it, and write it down it is very surprising to me how excited I am. I think the most exciting thing to me is that after this weekend, I get to go back to work on our project house.
I think Birkley is making me pretty pathetic.

  1. I'm looking forward to you coming too! I think my nickname for the baby will be Presley. I know it ends in Y, but it doesn't start with a B.
