Brian & Amanda Kunzeman

Well, this next week we are going to Grayslake for the weekend.  We are sending Gizmo to get some obedience training for the week and we are splitting town.

Are plans are to have fun and visiting.  I plan on packing the car with stuff for our trip back and we might do a little shopping at the Kenosha outlet mall, but we’ll see.

I’m pumped!

We have currently moved to Springfield.

Amanda is working on her ironing, cooking, baking, and quilting skills. I have enjoyed all of the fruits of her labor.

My new position has been fab on many levels. More to come later…

So… maybe we’ll actually update this blog a little more often.

We’ve had a lot of rain lately. The Des Plaines river may flood again. Last night we had the worst storm so far. There were tornado sightings and lots of wind. I don’t think anything touched down, but lots of trees were knocked down and people were out of power. My co-worker was desperately trying to save the 3 gallons of milk he bought on sale this past Monday.

The most exciting effect it had for us is that our train was delayed. Power lines came down across the tracks and I got to wait 1 1/2 hrs on the train. Brian got to wait in Wheeling. I got to practice my text-messaging skills. The end result was a friend had to let our dog out and we got home about 2 hours after we typically get home. All-in-all, my commute was 3 hours. Exciting stuff. A more interesting blog regarding all the storminess can be found at our friends’ website here.

In other exciting news, Grayslake is finally spraying for mosquitoes. We’ve had a lot of the little buggers. It’s about time!
