we like stripes...

i just read a good blog post about how our blogs can present an unrealistic picture of what our lives are like since we only post the pretty stuff. this blog is mostly intended for family and close friends who are far away - an audience that knows us well enough to know that our life consists of more chaos than the pretty shots i post here would lead you to believe (e.g., they have seen our basement). but for those of you who don't know me that well, i thought i'd post a couple pics of our white-trash deck, just to grant you some perspective.
