our best advice

Jodi and I have been talking about something over the past few months.

what if we took the best 2 or 3 things we've learned lately and told all our friends about them? what if we made it simple, so that people could follow the advice easily? and what if we made it so that all our friends can give us their best advice too?

our hope is to pass this wisdom on to you, our friends, so that you are able to learn from our recent shortcomings and (sometimes) bad decisions. we're hoping to keep this thing going. so feel free to blog or comment with any tidbits of advice from your universe....

so here it is. our best advice:

1. don't move to Arizona.
2. don't buy a Volkswagen.
3. don't get a PhD.


runners up:
-if you're in or around pittsburgh, go to one or all of the following: the O (best fries), the Beehive (best coffee), Quaker Steak & Lube (best wings), and Primanti Brothers (amazing sandwiches)... just go.
-don't use a moving broker - or any moving company that isn't national and reputable.

i know most of these sound really negative. but we felt that you, our friends, should know about them. each one has a good 2-hour story behind it. so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

and remember, let's keep this thing going (e.g., can anyone say "don't plant a church"?). blog, comment, email... go ahead.

that is just a bit negative there buddy, I for one love Arizona and I know if I can just keep you guys here another 10-20 years you'll give up and like it too!
p.s. don't plant a church!

HA! That's too funny because I will be the first to 2nd your recommendations! Especially the first one-- at all costs, don't move to Arizona! As my husband says...it's a big 'ol sandtrap! You get stuck here despite your bests attempts to get out.

Hope you guys are well. Give my best to Jodi. We're so excited for you guys-- can't wait to see little baby Wahba. ;)
