Hi there, it’s been awhile for sure! Before I just jump right in I want to say that I hope that wherever you are reading this from, I pray that you, your family, loved ones, and friends are well, calm, and healthy. With all the news, misinformation, good information, and uncertainty that I’m sure many… Continue reading Fear, there is no room for you here.
15 minutes into the trail and I was as nervous as hell, half listening to Dakota and half imaging that if I got tossed off this creature there were too many rocks around that would sadly catch my fall. And Jesse sensed my tension. I was hoping Celeste would be up for the horse back… Continue reading Be a good boy, Jesse
I am terribly afraid of heights, to the point that I have a tough time standing close to the rail on the second level of our local mall and looking straight down without feeling a bit of anxiety and flip flops in my stomach.

My last job before my current employment was working for a small steel construction company. I started to work there at… Continue reading Vulnerable and Humbled
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share this, but it’s official, we are going to Japan! With our toddler. On a plane. For the first time. Woohoo!!! I am all at once beyond excited and nervous! But you know, I figure, if you’re going to make a decision to travel for the very… Continue reading A Plane, A Toddler, & Two Inexperienced Parents
My dad likes to say that expression often and I remember sometimes hearing that would only further bother me and I would want to just roll my eyes because I would think to myself, sometimes it is just not that easy. But why is it that we want to hold on to feelings of frustration,… Continue reading Let It Go
What do you do when you’re three male guys coming back from the jacuzzi a little affer 10pm and then suddenly find yourselves confronted by “bulldog security”?
