The Facts Were These:

Next download Peter and Emily Stork loved their 2008 Malibu. It was the first vehicle they purchased as husband and wife, and while they had not set out to buy this specific automobile, it took but a brief test drive for them to decide this was the vehicle they would spend the first few years of their marriage traveling the country in. They named their new auto “Jesse White,” a humorous moniker meant to reflect the neutral color of the vehicle and the name of the Secretary of State whose signature lined the bottom of their registration.

The couple went everywhere in their beloved Malibu. Exploring Route 66, vacationing in picturesque south central Wisconsin and traveling ninety-minutes one-way just to partake in the delicious wonder that is Joe’s Italian Subs in Effingham. A young couple still without child, the two in their weaker moments almost considered Jesse White to be their baby.

Scenes of a Sexual Nature dvdrip On October 23, while Peter was traveling north on Illinois Highway Four, anxious to return home to his lovely Emily, a red BMW turned left into Peter’s lane of traffic, refusing to yield the right of way, standing in the path of the fast-moving 2008 Malibu…

and subsequently bringing a premature end to the life of Peter and Emily Stork’s most prized inanimate possession.

Eight days later, Peter and Emily found themselves at their neighborhood car dealer, staring at a different 2008 Malibu. Different, it was – it seems that their beloved automobile had not, as they thought, been merely the so-called “Fleet” version of the car, but instead the Malibu Classic, a line which fell somewhere between the old 2007 models and the newer, sleeker 08’s that had won a multitude of awards from a variety of publications. This new car, procured for them just days before by the sympathetic dealer, was the younger build. It was a design that did not bring Emily’s heart to a flutter in the same fashion that Jesse White had, but the couple agreed: they would take this new, more aerodynamic Malibu into their lives and try to give it the love they shared with their previous automobile.

Now all they needed…was a name.

Good Luck Chuck hd

The Astronaut’s Wife release

One of the reasons that Emily and I settled with the apartment that we did is because of the neighborhood. Our desire to walk compelled us to live in the smaller (800 sq. ft.) upstairs dwelling right next to a beautiful set of houses with myriad sidewalks rather than the larger (1200 sq. ft.) downstairs apartment stuck in back of an old hotel by the interstate with no decent way to walk into town.

(We also have a better mobile signal here – five bars for the win – but that’s besides the point.)

Since we have such easy access to town, I’ve been trying to get back into running, especially with all this free time before school starts. Obstacles keep popping up, however. The latest came this weekend when Emily and I headed north for fun with friends: a picnic on Saturday featuring all day sports which almost robbed me of the ability to walk the next day. Baseball and kickball and ladder golf are certainly worth the pain, but it’s Wednesday and my thighs still hurt a little. Such is the price of fun.

Horton Hears a Who! hd

My pain has coupled with the weather to keep me grounded this week. If I had actually felt the desire to step out for awhile and at least walk a spell I would have been greeted with 96 degrees and pea soup-thick humidity. It ain’t pretty out there, but tomorrow rain should cool things down enough for me to finally get some exercise. We’ll see.

A tip to staying in shape while having your treats: Emily and I found a great ice cream/custard/yogurt stand that’s quite popular with the residents of the Giant Truck Stop, and several times a week we head there for creamy taste bud fun. It’s nice that we walk there, but it’s even nicer that it’s a two and a half mile walk. One way. We work hard for our calories.

Emily Converses In Her Sleep

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

The other night at about 10:30 I go into the bedroom and kiss a sleeping Emily to test the waters of awakeness before I venture out for a quick snack. To best enjoy the brief conversation that resulted, keep in mind that she was half asleep and both of us were being serious.

Em: *unintelligible mumbling* camera?

Me: What?

Em: Do I have a lens in my camera?
