Living Room Furniture

We ordered this sofa and 2 of these chairs for our living room this weekend. We won't get them until mid-March!

Happy New Year 2008!

Key West 2007

Here are pictures from our week in Key West:

We went to "sound check" at the Green Parrot...

...and I convinced Bill to rent a scooter (and although he may deny it, Bill enjoyed riding around like a tourist)...

...and we ate dinner at Louie's Backyard...

...and Bill decided to go kayaking in the dark.

Holidays 2007

Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve...

Welcome!

Welcome to Bill & Melissa's blog.

Meet Melissa:

Melissa is a third-year lawyer who specializes in commercial litigation and mortgage banking issues. Because Melissa works for a private firm, she does not benefit from 40-hour work weeks.

Melissa loves singing, dancing, reading tabloids, spending time on the beach, winetasting, and drinking martinis (girly ones, with vodka, of course).

Meet Bill:

Bill is a former Navy lieutenant who currently works as a defense contractor. Because Bill works for the government, he benefits from 40-hour work weeks and, well, that's about it for the perks.

Bill enjoys running, watching movies on the couch, hunting (though not often successful), drinking martinis (gin, of course), cooking, traveling, and visiting vineyards with Melissa.
