Have you seen our new car? This is it here:

We were looking for a new car with four-doors and a big enough trunk to handle our growing family, but was still able to get great gas mileage so I could drive it from Rockville to Alexandria and back each day.  … [ more ]

One of my friends I’ve known the longest is Michelle. She was my closest friend in high school and although since that time, our paths have seldom paralleled, we’ve continued to make an effort to stay connected. She and her family moved out to the suburbs of San Francisco about … [ more ]

For the past two years, I have had the privilege of being one of twelve people selected to participate in leadership training course internally at The Motley Fool. Every course lasts six week and is taught by a head of a department (CFO for Finance, CMO for Marketing, etc). We … [ more ]

Selena went to San Francisco about 10 years ago when in college and amazingly was able to do nearly a week’s stay for only $500 (flights included).  One way she cut costs was by taking the bus everywhere, (sometimes without bothering to pay) or by walking. This time around, we … [ more ]

For baby’s first Halloween we found an adorable cow costume, and then kicked it up a notch by setting the whole family to a Click Clack Moo barnyard theme. Here are some photos from Selena and Kaylee visiting Greg at The Motley Fool’s office trick or treating, as well as … [ more ]

Three years ago today, Selena and I exchanged vows on a beach in the Florida Keys. That was just the beginning. It’s been quite a journey already. In no particular order, over the past three years since we got married:

We travelled to Saint Lucia
We bought a new home
Greg got promoted
