HARD DRIVE MALFUNCTION CATCH UP

So we have had another problem with our computer, so I am on Aims work laptop just giving the family a catch up. Our first month and half of marriage has been awesome! October is normally a busy month for us with football starting, baseball wrappin up and indian summer BBQs. But this october we have had stuff goin on every weekend. Here is a short catch up until we get the computer.

This is a cool pic from the wedding.


This one too- I love AJs head just floating there




Out to dinner

Dinner at Japonais with my wife for my 29th Birthday. Im wearing a shirt she gave me too.

Kitt got us tickets to see one of our favorite comedians, Lisa Lampanelli-

We were laughin so hard... She was great you should check her out on YOUTUBE... Just be warned she is pretty hard core

After the show Aim and I stopped by her signing and met her right away. She told us we were so cute and that we made her want to puke.




Mike gave me a ticket to the Bears game for the B-day. What a blast!

It was the game of the year... The Bears scored the most they have scored in a single game since 1976.. NICE



I went to the Bulls season opener.

Richie had tickets for us to sit VIP in the new Harris Club that had an all you can eat buffet and a full bar (all free)

Got a pic with Benny the Bull like I was 10 years old

UPDATE

Sooo Aim and I have been married for 1 month! Can you believe it??!! We had dinner out tonite and picked up a bottle of wine on the way home. Later I was opening the wine when she came out wearing her wedding dress and screamed "Happy anniversary!" We both busted out laughing and agreed that it is still very weird to say that were married. However were both happy(very) but we never had a picture with Luigi(our dog/son) so we took one.... Too funny.. I am so in love with my wife, and tonite was the first anniversary of many to come. Nice shoes Louie!







Here she is with the CHUCKS that we all had on at the wedding, she surprised me with the dress.... Then I put the shoes on and we danced to our song... THIS YEARS LOVE... by David Grey. It was like out of a movie because I never thought that I could have somthing so great. r>
So the dress got dirty at the wedding... I know it rained....But what is this??? Thoughts? and by the way Jhonny Sack did not attend!

Look how tan my leg is too-





OHHH Yeah, I shaved my head.. My wife loves it

Another dissappointment



Yet again they have managed to blow it! The Cubs went into the playoffs with the best record in baseball... But some how they got swept by the F'in Dodgers?
After this huge disappointment, my friends and I have realized that we have to say the dreadful "NEXT YEAR IS OUR YEAR" It makes me sick to my stomach. I am sick of the Cubs Curse and It needs to end.

Those of you that don't know about the curse here is some 411.




The Cubs Curse Through The Years
1908 - The Cubs win the World Series over the Detroit Tigers.



October 6, 1945 a man by the name of William "Billy Goat" Sianis attempted to bring a goat named, Murphy, to Wrigley Field during Game 4 of the World Series. Sianis was the owner of the "Billy Goat Tavern" and was a die hard Cubs fan.



Since there was no signs or warnings that barred animals from the park, Sianis figured he would have no problem bringing Murphy to the park. Ready with one ticket for himself and one ticket for Murphy, Sianis and his pet watched the game until late in the game when they were asked to leave. Orders came directly from Cubs owner, P.K. Wrigley, asking that both Sianis and his pet goat be ushered out of the park. The reason given was "because the goat stinks". As a disgusted Sianis left, he was heard saying "The Cubs ain't gonna win no more. The Cubs will never win a World Series so long as the goat is not allowed in Wrigley Field."

After the Cubs lost the Series to the Tigers in seven games, Sianis sent a telegram to Wrigley that said "Who Stinks Now?". Die hard Cubs fans believe the curse still exists today



September 9, 1969 - A black cat circles near the Cubs dugout during a crucial series at Shea Stadium. They would fall out of first place two days later and never recover.






July 4, 1973 - Sam Sianis, a cousin of the late William Sianis, attempts to bring a goat to Wrigley Field to lift the curse off the first place Cubs. The goat is denied admittance and the Cubs lose 16 of their next 20.



April 13, 1984 - Sam is invited with his goat for Opening Day at Wrigley Field. This would lead to the Cubs first playoff appearance since 1945.



October 7, 1984 - With no goat in sight, Leon Durham lets a ground ball, and the Cubs season, roll through his legs in the decisive Game 5 of the NLCS in San Diego. The Cubs had led the Series 2-0.



1989 - Cubs win the NL East, but are knocked out the playoffs in 5 games.



September 28, 1998 - Sam and his goat are invited into Wrigley Field prior to the Cubs one game playoff for the NL Wild Card vs. the Giants. The Cubs go on to win that game 5-4.



October 1998 - With no goat again, the Cubs are swept by Atlanta in the playoffs.



October 14, 2003 - Following a deflected foul ball by fan Steve Bartman, the Cubs implode in the eighth inning of Game 6 of the NLCS. Having once again felt the wrath of the curse, the Cubs go on to lose Game 7, their World Series hopes dashed after having been only 5 outs away.





February 26, 2004 - In an effort to remove the curse, the infamous Bartman foul ball is blown up at Harry Carey's Restaurant.



April 5, 2004 - The cover of Sports Illustrated proclaims, "Cubs Will Win World Series".



Late September 2004 - Up 1 1/2 games with 9 to play, the Cubs bullpen, and season, goes down the drain, as they drop seven of nine to finish third in the Wild Card race.

2005 Season - It was a lost season, as the injury bug doomed the Cubs all year, one by one claiming Nomar Garciaparra, Kerry Wood, Joe Borowski, and Aramis Ramirez, among others - not the lineup fans want to see when they look at the infirmary report


Now 2008 the Cubbies are 0-9 in their last 9 play off appearances and I have had enough. Next year I do not plan on paying attention to the Cubs until September. The time and money I have spent on being let down has turned me into a cynic. I will focus on the Bears which are in 1st place. Now I can see how people become fair weather fans... I am not one, but this is getting ridiculous.

Random Honeymoon pics

The Sunday before we left Puerta Vallarta I wanted to to take Aim to Playa Fiesta.... A time share that I spent a bit of time at when I lived with my Mom(Robin) and her ex-husband(Ron). It was weird being back there. The place was being remodeled and a guy there let us walk around, it was sort of depressing the way it had been kept over the years.


Something tells me the there is no diving allowed in the pool


This is a view from one of the suites.. You can see Los Arcos behind us

In Mexico there is no Diet Coke only Coke light... How weird is that?

Theese are the other honeymooners we met. Dany and Sarah from Oregon and Seve and Tina from Conneticut

Strolling down town Puerta Vallarta.

This is just before we got on the ferry to The Mayan night out "Rythms of the night"

Lamb chops I had that were great

You see the ring?

Out by the ocean

Do you think my wife has too much sun screen on? or she is honing her craft in mimery

The first night out in Puerta Vallarta
