Happy Early Birthday To...ME!!!

Monday, January 16, 2012

First of all Happy MLK Day to all. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their day off as I much as I have and for those of you that had to work, I'm sorry. As you may know by now Schaich Petey turns the BIG 28 on Wednesday and for my birthday all I really wanted was a basketball hoop to put outside in my driveway. I just joined a basketball team in Augusta where I'm a player/coach and I really wanted a hoop so that I could practice whenever I wanted to. So with the help of the Rents (Thanks Mom and Dad) I was able to get this hoop as an early birthday present. It came via UPS on Friday and after about a day and half of looking at the box I decided to start the grueling task of putting it together. It took me about 6 hours overall but it was well worth the pain and sweat that was endured. This is my first basketball hoop that I've ever put together all by myself (MPP did help a bit haha) and I think I did a pretty good job. I did have some parts left over but it wouldn't be a good assembly if you didn't have parts left over right? Check out the pics below as I took the pieces out of the box to completion and also check out the form on my jumpers as I give the hoop its first test run:




  







Last but not least here is a video MPP shot of me straight BALLIN!!!!!!!!!

Stuart E. Holmes (Oct. 2nd, 1927 - Nov. 18th, 2011)

Friday, November 18, 2011

Today, the world says goodbye to a great man, my grandfather, Mr. Stuart E. Holmes. He was a man that lived every day as if Frank Sintra's "My Way" was the theme song to his life's story. He was an avid golfer, loving husband/father of 4, and an entrepreneur that owned his record store and print shop with his wife, Bootsie, before he retired and settled down to live out the rest of his days at home in Richmond, VA. He passed pain-free and peacefully last night in his sleep.

I strive to be like him one day where I can own my own business, be my own boss, and make my own hours. I also hope that my marriage is as happy and lasts as long as his did, 62 years as of Oct. 22nd. If he had but one flaw being that I am a Cowboys fan I would say it was that he was die hard Redskins fan. But I won't hold that against him b/c even though we disagreed on football we both agreed on baseball as we pulled for Bobby Cox and the Atlanta Braves.

Thanks for everything you did for me and the family throughout your 84 years. Most of all I want to thank you for the gift of life b/c without you there would be no dad which means there would be no me.

Goodbye Papa. You will surely be missed and you will never be forgotten.

May you rest in peace!

We're Married!!! The Wedding Recap (9.10.11)

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Hello there again faithful followers. I know it has been a while since my last post but life hasn't slowed down much since MPP and I got married which happens to be exactly 46 days ago according to my Days Until iPhone app. I know everyone says that their wedding is best but I know that it is the truth with our wedding, it was PERFECT!!! Here are some highlights of the day: the sun was shinning (we were worried since it rained all week and the forecast called for rain that day but we definitely lucked out), Kristen looked gorgeous, all her custom decorations looked amazing, my surprise to her was on point (my dad and I did a duet singing Lionel's Richie's "Three Times a Lady," which is a family tradition for my dad to sing since my parents wedding day), and our first dance where we mixed it up was shockingly awesome as well. For our first dance we started out dancing to Louis Armstrong's "Cheek to Cheek" then I mixed in Black Eyed Peas "Switch Up" and then it went to Usher's "Yeah!" Needless to say the crowd went wild when we broke it down. After that the rest of the night was spent sipping on Sweet Lovin' (sweet tea vodka and lemonade) while us and all of our 100+ guests let it all hang out on the dance floor (esp. my dad and my cousins who were doing the worm/break dancing; there were also some pretty serious dance offs as well i.e. me and Lucas) and last but surely not leaast there were several trips in and out of the photo booth. Also I almost forgot about my cowboys grooms cake which was magically delicious. Chocolate and strawberry is there a better combo.

This whole day wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without the wonderful wedding planning and customization of the invitations, drink stirrers, straws, letters, mailbox, mr. and mrs. signs, etc by my lovely wife. I want to say thanks again to her for all the hard work that she put in to make our wedding day the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE! I've never had more fun. Thanks again to everyone that came out to share this joyous day with us. Not to go un-noticed haha but I helped out a little as well I got us the custom Reeboks and I designed/hand-made the back of our coozies. Thanks again to Lucas for designing the front logo.
Well words can only capture half of what went on that glorious day so with the help of our amazing photographer, Katelyn James (Click HERE for the full article about our wedding), I have put together a little video for your viewing pleasure. Also as a heads up the first part of the background song is me singing my own acapella version of Lionel Richie's "Three Times a Lady" in a app called Tune Me which makes you sound like T-Pain.

Enjoy!

The 1st Day of Our New Life Together

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Yesterday, was MPP and I's wedding day. It ended up being everything I dreamed of and more and I think we reached our goal of not only shocking/amazing our guests with our custom Reebok's and our dance moves with our personalized first dance but we also got everyone on the dance floor which was awesome. I would have to definitely say it was the BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE. I would not change anything about the day at all. We want to personally thank everyone esp. our parents (yesterday would not have been possible without you all), our vendors, and all of those who traveled to Madison, VA to celebrate with MPP and I. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends and we want to thank everyone for all the lovely gifts that we received as well.
