This past weekend, I was showing Cindy a video of our old tailgating group from the 2004 Purdue Football Season. Since this was seven years ago and I was much LESS “mature”, we (the knucklehead crew) were attempting to complete “The Century Club”. For those of you who don’t know, Century Club is drinking one [...]

So….as we all get to see a glimpse of Kevin and Cindy’s path to matrimony…it got me thinking about the jealousy that ensues of their upcoming honeymoon. I imagine Fiji, Mexico, Australia, Paris….do I dare say…the Indiana Dunes??? I have never heard of a single person ever complain of the honeymoon unless it included hurricane force winds [...]

I can’t believe its been over five years since I made this video.  Cindy makes fun of me about this relentlessly, but I was pretty proud of this video.  Not alot of people can make these effects easily.  Hopefully it will give people an idea of what I’m really capable of once we get HFO [...]

It was brought to my attention last week that somethings on HFO might be a little confusing to the casual, new reader.  In hopes of enlightening the masses, I’ve created this post to serve as our FAQ.  This post will remain tacked at the top of HFO for new readers to check out first and therefore enabling our first time [...]

Being hired recently on the blog is truly an honor…but as most of you have seen from the love Cindy and Kevin share, they are my true inspiration for what I want and deserve in my life. I mean, what can make a person feel more single that reading about two gag-me, head-over-heels-in-love people like [...]

For those of you who missed the weekend gushing, via Facebook, Kevin proposed on Saturday.  A few tears later, I said yes. We thought it would be a fun to do a little “He Said, She Said” color commentary of the events leading up to him popping the big question. It was a heck of [...]

When I sat down to write this blog, I was reminded of my first blog about how Cindy and I first got together.  Through 11 years of middle school, high school, and college, Cindy and I were never more than casual acquintances, and now we’re going to get married and have our own baby.  When [...]
