Thirteen!

New TV!
The new TV and blu ray are being installed now! We’ll have a wall of TV when they are done installing and linking everything together. And yes, we are just dorky enough to want two big tvs in the same room. Thank goodness Jeff’s brother Jay is a whiz at this or it would have.. read more →
