Napoleon Dynamite One of my all-time favorite comedies is Napoleon Dynamite. I love the combination of comic absurdity and sweet truths. For those of you who haven’t seen the movie, it’s a story about a social outcast (Napoleon) who finds his place through two friends (Deb and Pedro). One of the ways Napoleon finds his […]
Who’s Top Dog?
Taking the leap… The Bondurant’s have entered into a new phase of life. Puppy ownership. This is not our forte. We like animals, currently a cat, but a brand new puppy is an entirely different beast. Here’s a short list of puppy items we’ve learned in just a few weeks: Puppies need taken out to the […]
Sending to Sent: Have you landed?
What have we done? Kia and I took a big step. We did something we’ve been putting off for years. We moved forward on something people have called us crazy for. We took a leap. Late nights. Early mornings. Crying. Feeding. Walking. Little sleep. No, it’s not a baby…we got a puppy. Labor Day Monday […]
The Best Marriage Advice Ever!
What’s the key to marriage success? Last month Kia and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. Our celebration consisted of an unbelievable trip to Guatemala (which we visited 20 year earlier for language school). Twenty years is a long time – for anything – anymore. You’ll see just how long 20 years is by looking at the […]
Eyes Wide Open
Off and Away Late last month, Kia and I were in Guatemala celebrating our 20th anniversary. We had an absolutely incredible time. There were so many highlights – from staying on a lake resort only accessible by boat to walking the streets of a city dating back to the 1500’s. We explored a small village […]
It’s Good in the Middle
Not the middle! When in grade school, I’m not sure the exact stigma, but it was a well known fact you never took the middle urinal. Right or left were perfectly fine, but never the middle. The same is true for airplane seats, except I know exactly the reason why. When you don’t know the person […]

So I’m re-posting a few of mine and your favorite posts from the last year or so. Enjoy! All about the bling-da-bling-da-bling In early 2008, […]

Gilgal: New Beginning
The Blessings of Failure It’s no secret I’m a KC Royals fan. Some of my earliest sports memories go back to the 1980 World Series between the Royals and Philadelphia Phillies. The entire decade of the 80’s was a high for a Royals fan – the peak being the 1985 World Series Champions. Royals fans […]
