I caught some flak this past weekend for the lack of coffee-related posts…So here’s a round-up of our favorite coffees of 2011:
The Austin Stone Live album releases in just a few weeks! Head over to www.austinstoneworship.com to get a few of the tunes before the record is released.
I had the privilege of playing on this — it was an honor!
Our goal was to upgrade our upstairs bathroom on the cheap. This took us about 2 days and we spent $260. If it weren’t for the sheetrock work and trim painting, we could’ve wrapped it up much quicker!

Looks like we’re in a birthday/anniversary slump.
So here’s to a better 2012!
We took a much-needed vacation to Southern California to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary — Unbelievably beautiful!
We tested more than 50 different coffees in 2010 (I know because I keep a spreadsheet).
Here are the best and worst from the year:

EMICH OUT!
I finally finished up our half-bath! New plumbing/faucet/sink, electrical, sheetrock repair, tile, and paint!
Here’s a before and after shot (minus the new floor).
Here are some of my favorites from the process…

These pics pretty much sum it up! Absolutely awesome time with the Griswold crew (but we did miss Mike, Heather and Grace).
Katie’s folks have rented this lakehouse a few times now — The first time was the week of our wedding in 2008! So basically, we feel like it’s our lakehouse at this point.
EMICH OUT!
