Good thing theres always next year

The Red Sox are now down 3-1 one in the series. I guess its a good thing I've already won the game of life, makes the heartbreak of a Red Sox loss much easier to deal with. Well as you can see we have had a busy few weeks. My mother was remarried a few weeks ago, so we went to Albany to attend. Its odd being able to say that i have attended two of my mothers weddings. This one though is a good one, Dave is a wonderful man who takes great care of her and my sister. I had a lot of fun, seems like Kristine did too. The following weekend we made our way to Dallas. I was able to go out and golf with my buddy Andrew, we had a great time. I think Dallas is definitely on our radar of future places to live, the cost of living is so much less and it fits into our plans of owning a house within the next few years. Oh and did i mention Golf is incredibly cheap, cheap to the point that need to get my wife involved in the game so that we can spend some time together as i will be on the course more than usual. It has been tough going through these busy few weeks as it has led to a lack of cuddle time. Granted Kristine will never admit she likes to cuddle so i will say it truly is my favorite activity. Well even if the Sox don't pull it out, I've still got a a wonderful person that will help me fret over it for a month or so and that's hard to find.


Coming home to your arms is like crossing the plate after hitting a walk off homer run to win the world series--Priceless.

My turn

Hey there. Yes, it is Kristine. I decided it was finally my turn to post something since Tyler has been slacking. Following the Red Sox has obviously consumed all of his time the past 4 weeks so, I thought I would take a crack at this. As you all know I am not nearly as poetic or sweet as Tyler so, don't expect to feel mushy and gushy inside after you read this. After all, I am still me.

We have been having fun and traveling. We went to Dallas this past weekend to visit our friends Krista, Andrew, and their darling two year old, Emma. In Dallas we saw an air show where the Thunderbirds performed and there were several tributes to the Air Force and the Navy. It was cool. One of those moments that makes you proud to be an American. Oh, and then I went to visit our soon to be employer, Delta, in Augusta. Hmmm. Lots of trailer parks and dead grass around there. Not a great first impression. I still haven't decided if I want to work for Delta. I am thinking I might make the leap and find something else to do. We will keep you posted.

Gotta go - the Red Sox are getting pounded on in game 4 of the ALCS.

Kisses and hugs to everyone.

8,760 days worth of memories 365 with my best friend

Tomorrow I will be twenty-four years of age. I know I am so young and haven't had much life experience yet (insert young adult cliche here). However I think that each year when someone adds a number to that inevitable climb they stop for a minute and ponder the years gone by. I mean why not really? Did I think I would have this much and such an amazing life at this point? Probably not. I've got the world at my disposal, unlimited opportunity. I have a wonderful family that loves and cares for me. A great job that allows me to do things I could never imagine, and the best thing of all I have a best friend. A best friend that loves me, takes care of me, encourages me and can turn a frown upside down in an instant(usually with a monkey or prairie dog impersonation). So do I have it all? Yes! Do I want more? Of course. I think that my American dream is probably sixty percent complete at this time and for a guy that has lived only thirty-three percent of his life that's darn good in my book.

Ok so enough of that. To be honest the Red Sox are on and we are in a playoff race, so I will add more tomorrow. All about Seattle coming up..pictures too...

-sometimes it all just comes together....

As the night grows still

As the night grows still and the silence surrounds you and I
you turn over and say goodbye to the day
falling fast asleep into a world of dreams
I tickle your back and sing you love songs

You ask me not to leave your side, to keep you warm and safe
i can't help but smile as i dream myself

i dream about the days gone by
this short time we have had together
i dream about the days to come
the good times, the laughter, and the love

I will always be your warmth and you ll be my strength

lying awake thinking about the years we will have together
i can't help but believe that they will never be enough
enough to show you the world, and how much love i have for you
cherish each day i wake beside you, and each night i kiss you

i dream about the days gone by
the times we have had together
i dream about the days to come
the good times, the laughter, and the love


As i finally rest my head on the pillow
i know that your the reason i was given such a chance
to live this life through with a heart so full
its all because of you

the good times, the laughter, and the love
its all because of you


-just a few words i put together on a restless night watching my baby drift into dreamland...

Going For The Gold

Well the Olympics have certainly been keeping us occupied the last few days, i mean that Micheal Phelps can swim!! Otherwise we keep on trucking through the dog days of summer and are anxiously awaiting our vacation. Twelve days now!! I am preparing for my return to school after taking the summer off, September second be the day. Work seems to be going well, i received a bit of good news this past week as they announced NW will be using the computer system i specialize in. Two of our good friends Andrew and Krista have left us and moved to DFW. Andrew decided to leave Northwest, can't blame him. It will be tough not having them so close however we shall certainly meet up for at Cracker Barrel for Thanksgiving dinner. Kristine was entertaining my father this past week while i was stuck in BOI. Interesting how my wife goes out and gets smashed with my dad, think they bonded? I suppose their isn't much more to say, daily life has kept us busy and the weekends have kept our "newlywed" status in check. The fair is coming up, and i don;t know about you but I'm really looking to having a friend pork chop covered in chocolate encrusted with twinky batter on a stick. No they don't really have that however they do serve a deep fired chocolate pickle on a stick. Kristine is going to enter the turkey call contest though, while i fill in for jojo the chimp in the monkey show, contractual issues from what I'm told. That's all for now, go USA!!!



-as the warm summer nights draw to an end, i look forward to holding you tight while those cool fall days surround us.

Cheeseburger In Paradise

As the summers peak draws near i find myself reflecting back on the first half of the year. So much has happened and the train seems to finally be slowing down, in a good way of course. First and Foremost i married my true love and my best friend. We continue to grow a little more each day. As i look towards the future i can't believe that this seed has only just begun to sprout. I feel as if i have known my wife my whole life, she is the best friend i could ever ask for whether it be a lazy evening playing scrabble on the deck or heading out for some drinks and dancing on a Saturday night. Which i must say Kristine was able to get my to left feet moving last weekend as we went out for the first time in a while and let it all loose. I can't exactly say i was moving like Kevin Bacon in footloose but more, his lumpy country boy friend who was their to get a good laugh at. Otherwise life is just as sweet as a honeysuckle vine. We have been quite busy the last few weekends getting out and experiencing the festivals and the food that comes with those festivals. We were in Florida for the fourth, Kristine met two of the most important people in my life, my grandparents. We also had an amazing seat for the fireworks, literally they we being shot off within a hundred yards of us, it was a great way to spend our first independence day together. Besides thanksgiving it has to be on my list of top holidays. I love the spirt people seem to remember how wonderful it is to be American, too bad you don't see it more. We are all set for our vacation in August, i know Kristine really misses her girlfriends, although I'm a good listener braiding hair and talking about boys isn't my thing(or whatever girls do pillow fights?) so I'm sure it ll be nice for her to see her friends. I am just looking forward to the relaxation. That's all i have for now.

-you love is relentless and i love it!!

Apple pies and lazy sunday afternoons

As the suns light begins to reach it peak, the brown family finds themselves enjoying more of the outdoors. The end of spring has brought us many of rainy days, filled with tornado horns going off each evening, and thunderstorms to catch our dreams. We went yesterday to the stone arch festival along the Mississippi river, such a gorgeous day. We filled up on quite a bit of good food and saw some amazing arts and crafts. The best part was that i was able to wake with the sun and my wife. Its not often as i work most Saturdays, so it truly was a special treat. Otherwise are home is looking just great, we finally have a kitchen table and after three different trips to the store a new bookcase. We have booked our tickets for seattle and can't wait to get out west. This will be my first trip so im very excited to see the sights. Today we spend playing scrabble(our new favorite game in which i have yet to win) and baking an apple pie. Thats mostly Kristine although she is sticking me with peeling apples(not my favorite but ill do it...because i love her). Thats would be about it.


-The sun will define the day, the moon will define the darkness, and you my love Define me.

AH The sweet sound of Silence

Moved we be, moved we are. As i sit here and look out over the courtyard of our new apartment i can't help but smile. We decided to move in on Saturday, which was a good idea because we had some help. Less than a week in we have only three boxes remaining, not bad eh? I can already see that my lovely wife is in a more relaxed state, which i enjoy seeing her smile more(such a beautiful smile). This summer looks to be a busy one, lots of work and travel. We have our non-rev challenge team all set so we have to get moving on that. As far as vacations go it looks like our week in Lopez will be the only planned one. It can't come soon enough. Nothing more exciting to say.


-It doesn't matter where your head falls on the pillow, just that you have someone special to rest your arm around.

Movin' Movin' Movin' Get Them Brown's A Movin'

Wow so much to say, its been awhile. We its official we are MOVING. We have found a great apartment about a half mile from where we are now. So excited, ts time we have our own space and begin our lives without the sound of high heels stamping against a hard wood floor at six o'clock in the morning. Anyways, we have a new couch as well, its big and comfy and allows for optimum cuddling. On the home front all is well, as you can tell we are excited to be moving, and Kristine will finally have a nice relaxing tub(she needs to relax more), instead of just a shower. OH YES AND A KITCHEN. There may be dirty dishes however salsa is made fresh daily, except Sundays for reasons i will not explain. On the work front nothing new. Kristine puts in her 23 hours a day and i struggle to get through eight. I have finished my semester at school looking at a 3.5 and I'm pretty proud of myself, however without the support of my wife i would have never made it. That's really about it, i can't apologize for are lack of excitement as our life is just the way we like it. If you happen to be in the Apple Valley area next week and feel the need to help us move i can safely say we won't pay you anything however we will have Vodka and Beer on hand to keep you thoroughly hydrated.


~Life isn't work, Life is the 16 hours a day you spend with the one you love~ Sometimes less, depends if I'm golfing.

Back to reality...

Bloggin we finally are, as we have been informed that this isn't just a picture posting site. Unfortunately due to the strenuous work ethic we both have, cuddling in bed is our idea of a Friday night. Kristine is hard at work with her new job, and the blackberry she has attached to her hip keeps her going round the clock. I have been busy juggling work and school on top of it all. I wonder what the definition of "honeymooners" truly is. I mean really what in life is supposed to change? We may not be traveling the world or attending any major events, and to me it doesn't matter. I am blessed to have such a fabulous partner, and cuddling with her at night is all that i long for after a long day. We have been to a few ballgames, I love the game and as my wife knows the Red Sox our a huge part of it. I guess next to my soul mate, the Red Sox and Golf rank a distant second and third. You know as i write this she is laying next to me watching an episode of friends(usually at ten o'clock every night sex and the city automatically turns on, i think our T.V just knows) and as i look at her i just can't help but smile. We have found our very own water hole, well others go there but my wife pretty much gets them to do whatever we want. Great place, cheap drinks and always a good time. There are some trips upcoming this summer. We are going to head to Washington D.C. as i really want to see the Smithsonian's aerospace Museum. I still get the same feeling as when i was younger(i know I'm not that old) any airplane just impresses me. We will also be heading to Seattle, the end of August for a week. I have never been and am excited to see it, not to mention i have a beautiful tour guide to show me around. Well its about time for me to give my wife a kiss goodnight and hit the pillow.

Dreams do become reality, sometimes you just need to buy a ring first.
