Five Things I’ve Learned About My Marriage

Being married has taught me some things that I don’t think I could have learned any other way. Strange behaviors and strange information entered my life the day I was officially married to The Mister. We have been married for 8 years and I have learned a lot in that time. We have had many ups andRead more

If I Could Turn Back Time

Thirteen years ago, I was a very different person. If I could go back, let’s say 15 years, I honestly don’t think I would change a thing about it. Fifteen years ago I was in college, making really poor choices, doing really dumb things, but I still don’t think I would go back and changeRead more

Attitude of Gratitude

As we start to settle into November, I am always reminded about being thankful and having an attitude of gratitude.  The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” I remember the first time I read that verse, I thought, “Wow, IRead more

Almond Matcha Milk

I wasn’t feeling too great on Wednesday morning, and everything in me did not want to get out of bed, but I knew that if I didn’t I would just lay in bed all day. Personally, when I’m sick, I only allow myself so much time in my actual bed. For some reason, the longerRead more

My Life Is Over

My life is over. My beautiful wife, Leslie,  joined a CrossFit gym a little over a year ago, but that’s not why my life is over. I’m super happy, excited for, and proud of her. She has accomplished so many things in the past year that she never dreamed possible before. And her squats areRead more
