Hello Friends and Family!

Hello Party Peoples! If you are looking at this than hopefully your Christmas card made it over the river and through the woods. We are starting this blog to update friends and family on the following:

- Down By Five band updates (John is the drummer in case you did not know)
- house renovations and diy projects
- doggie news (for now we have an invisible one)
- random ideas
- status of ashley's civic and if it is still alive (thought we almost lost her today! dead battery...whew!)
- new recipes and beers we try and recommend
- belated honeymoon trip planning
- any other things that come about while we rummage through our lives....

We have all kinds of projects and ideas in mind for our lovely home (the previous owners already did a baller job but we have a few ideas of our own :)). Today is the first day of the rest of our lives!! How refreshing!
