I’ve created a monster!!!
In case you haven’t checked it out recently, Dixie Gypsy has been getting regular updates. Actually, it finally hit her. I knew Sara would love blogging. She started by posting 4 or 5 posts. But now it seems she can’t stop. We’ve got a very busy day today. I’m just trying to get us out [...]

My mom used to tell me…sing along everyone…your mom probably said it too… “If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Hmmm…it’s amazing how much happiness a daily vacuuming brings to one Conley family crammed in a hotel. I bought the Target special on wet/dry vacs (we already have a normal vacuum, [...]

I starting blogging initially over two years ago when Sara and I went to Dubai to visit my brother. I was not super consistent blog. However, I reinvented the blog shortly before Titus was born. The first post on the new blog was exactly one year ago. Here are some interesting factiods: Â 693 Different people have [...]

Aaaah. If only happiness were so easy. A quick clap of the hands. A stomp of the feet and an “amen”. Wouldn’t life be grand? However, some days - which seem to stretch into weeks - happiness is more about self control. Controlling the general grumpiness that simmers just below the surface of my wholehearted attempt, [...]

19. May 2008
We learned something really interesting about our son. We generally like to get Titus to bed by 7:00 PM. If we do, he will usually sleep until 8:00 or even 9:00 in the morning. So, using reason, you would think that if we got him to be by 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM, he would [...]

17. May 2008
On my first Sunday at Gateway, they were advertising DudeFest. I laughed when I saw the sign. The fact that they call it DudeFest actually made me interested in attending. Several guys on staff personally invited me to attend as well. It really wasn’t the best time in the world, but I committed toward going. [...]

Here’s something you probably didn’t know. Say you’re spending some time in a hotel room with two adults, a baby and a 70 pound chocolate lab. After just a week, something special happens. Your 70 pound chocolate lab will have regrown all of her hair 4 times. That’s right, 4 times. There will be enough hair [...]

Staying in a hotel anytime soon? Believe it or not, but your room floor is probably filthy. Disgustingly filthy. In the past 6 months, we’ve spent a total of 5 weeks in hotel rooms (with 4 more weeks to go). We’ve stayed in 6-7 different hotels from NV to FL. Know what the common bond [...]

12. May 2008
Well, our "transition" is almost officially over! Nearly six months ago I lost my job at my previous church. We put our house on the market and it sold within two months. Since then we’ve been spending all our time in the homes of family, friends and the occasional hotel room. Currently there are four [...]
