Well that was a garbage filled burning train wreck. I almost dare not look back for fear of being Medusa’d by the wretched catastrophic turd buffet that was last year. I’ve never written a year in review post before. Why start now? Well a lot happened, that’s why. A lot that I haven’t talked about […]
Personal
Posts about me and what I think.
George the orange cat
On August 29th, 2017, our daughter Abigail was born. We brought her home from the hospital a couple days later and, though I can’t recall the exact day, were very soon after surprised to discover a stray cat on our doorstep. Now, we’d been living in the same house here in Jackson for over eight […]
Foster care placements at the Maurer home
I should post more often. When so much time has passed it’s difficult to summarize all that has transpired. I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll start with a little context for the current situation. Back in early 2017, Ashley and I had been among the eligible and waiting adoptive families at a local […]
Isolation at the Maurer home
This is a weird time. For all of us. Fortunately for myself and my family, we just so happen to live a lifestyle and have personalities which are well suited for surviving periods of mandated isolation. My heart goes out to the many, many people who have it so much harder than we do. I’m […]
We Made a Product!
For years now I’ve been making a living exclusively by providing marketing and web development related services to clients, most of which involved WordPress in some way. Today is an exciting day for me because we are giving the world a glimpse for the first time at an actual product we’ve been working on for […]
Home Improvement Never Ends
Lately we’ve been tackling some serious home improvement projects. I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished and believe we’re going in an awesome direction. This house that we purchased more than five years ago has turned out to be a perfect home for us and has really come a long way. This past weekend I […]
Five and Counting
Five years ago today I married the girl of my dreams. She’s been the best friend, companion and spouse any person could ever ask for and I’m so grateful that God brought us together. In fact, today, I’m grateful for a lot of things… I’m grateful that together we have made the choice to build […]
Bevs are Back
Happy Easter! It has been a long winter and a long Lent. This year for my Lenten penance I chose to set aside all beverages besides water. It is the same penance I chose last year and maybe the year before. The fact that I have recent been unable to select a more creative annual […]
Cedar Point Sunglasses
My wife and I were enjoying America’s Roller Coast this past weekend and at one point found ourselves in one of the many gift shops present there. Her dad was browsing for a ghoulish sweatshirt because he had misjudged the forecast by a few degrees so we kept ourselves busy by trying on sunglasses. Or […]
Halloweekends 2013
Every fall Ash and I head down to Cedar Point with her father and step mother for Halloweekends. Its always a fun time and never really gets old. We have just concluded the first day of our weekend trip and had a great time. We rode the Gatekeeper twice and walked through every haunted attraction […]
FIL’s pets
Faith, the goofy cat. Shadow Marie. For clarification since this picture may be deceiving, she is a “person” and not a dog. Or so I am told. I couldn’t find a picture of Harley who is the other cat. He is not very sociable. Wait…I found a couple old ones. For further clarification, FIL is […]
