By Patrick, on October 29th, 2011 The RMV team was out of town last weekend, and so you had the terrible fate of not being able to enjoy any Conversations from the Bungalow. Well, we’re back, and so without further ado, here comes the Convos. Enjoy!
On our toddler:
Patrick: “We have a Keanu Reeves toddler.”
McClain: “Whoa. Whoa. WHOA!”
Patrick: “We should just call him Neo.”
On Engligh Knights/Nature Show Narrators:
Brianna: “Maybe McClain needs some Attenborough. He is British, isn’t he?”
Patrick: “That’s why they call him Sir David Attenborough.”
Brianna: “Well, he could be from Ireland.”
Patrick: “Except he doesn’t sound

By Patrick, on October 8th, 2011 Well, here’s what I know you’ve all been waiting for-our first installments of Convos from the Bungo. We’ve had some pretty interesting conversations this week, and here’s a few highlights. Look for more in the future!
On leaving a can of brake fluid outside (don’t ask): “Look, brake fluid is the kiss of death for gnats.”

By Patrick, on October 5th, 2011 While all of you are busy learning all sorts of crafty artsy projects from Brianna, I am going to have to represent the masculine face of RMV, so I’ m rolling out my out my own 31-day special program. I got the idea for the title last night as myself and Brianna were trying to reason with our almost-two-year-old. Well, needless to say it didn’t work, but it spawned quite possibly one of the greatest ideas of all time…Yes, I will be posting our ‘more colorful’ conversations from home (and probably abroad as well) and titling them ‘Conversations from the

By Brianna, on August 31st, 2011 God love my child, but in all of the major milestones, rolling over, crawling, and walking he has taken his sweet time. Why I thought talking would be any different I will never know.
Crawling was a freaking nightmare. It wasn’t that he was incapable, he could get in a crawling position even move a few steps but he just wouldn’t go any further. And don’t give me that crap about how we should have given him more tummy time etc. We religiously laid that child on his stomach every morning. We had a routine, get up have bottle, roll

By Patrick, on February 2nd, 2011 It’s the little differences in life that make us unique, right? Me and Brianna have a good number of things in common-our sense of humor, our desire to not have to work for a living, and our love of older homes and DIY (haha!). But what makes us a great couple is just the subtle and not-so-differences in some of our tastes, literally and figuratively. Take for example, the movie Spaceballs.
According to me, this is one of the funniest movies of all time. Its mocking references to Star Wars are hilarious. The screenplay must have won like a dozen

By Patrick, on January 7th, 2011 Me and Brianna were chatting a few nights ago and somehow we got on the topic of pens. Brianna was mentioning how they have some really nice pens at work made by Uniball which really are kick-ass pens. They are of the rolling ball variety, which, for you writing implement newbies, uses a liquid or gelled ink instead of a more viscous ink that you’ll find in ballpoint pens. In other words, they are awesomer than ballpoint pens for a number of reasons, none of which I will go into here.
Instead, I want to talk to you about our

By Patrick, on December 31st, 2010 Look at all the pretty decorations!
Brianna in the Pile 'O Decorations. Hopefully we'll get them organized and put away before next Christmas
Here are some photos from our Christmas decorations deconstructed. It kind of puts things in a little different perspective From this to:
Just a few decorations…
Yeah, we even used the Endust in our decorations too. Well, not really. We just thought we needed a little more yellow. Anyways, I am really looking forward to being able to use our table again. For the past week now I’ve had to carve out a very

By Brianna, on December 20th, 2010 Being the organized family that we are we realized yesterday that we hadn’t taken McClain to see Santa. So where is the only place in Western North Carolina to see Santa the weekend before Christmas? The Asheville Mall. Where is the one place in Western North Carolina that you don’t want to get in a 5 mile radius of the weekend before Christmas? The Asheville Mall.
Truly, I would rather put hot skewers under my fingernails than set foot near the mall at Christmastime. The traffic is horrible (there is only one road in), I worked there for years during

By Patrick, on December 10th, 2010 If you’ve read Brianna’s post below, you’ll see that when she cooks, er bakes, she tends to leave a shit-ton few crumbs behind. And more often than not, it is I who has to clean up. And boy is it fun!
You see, I think Brianna is the only person that could use 8 dishes to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Seven of the dishes would be covered with a sticky goo that only Goo-Gone could get off while the eighth was the plate she was actually using to eat the sandwich. Yep, she’s that amazing!
In addition

By Patrick, on November 3rd, 2010 George busy building his new web for the day. Ahhh, if only all of us were as industrious.
Say hello to George. He is our resident spider that hangs out by our front porch. Apparently he is a form of spider called the Marbled Orb Weaver (Araneus marmoreus from the family Araneidae, for all of you arachnologists). Anyways, George has taken up residence in one of our windows next to our front door. He hangs out there, minding his own business, waiting for his next meal to fly by. Actually, we do keep the light on for him to
