One of the hardest things that my wife and I have had to endure is coming to grips with the fact that our children will likely only ever have a limited relationship with our parents. We relocated to the South in 2011 for job opportunities that were non-existent near our hometowns. At the time we were excited about beginning a life together and setting out on our own. We knew that the 800... Read More »

That is until our 12 week sonogram with our 4th child. At this appointment it was determined that we had a 1 in 10 chance of our little girl having Down Syndrome (DS). Saying I was scared is a complete understatement! I c... Read More »
Who doesn’t love an underdog? Well, the NCAA tournament is usually full of incredible cinderella stories, buzzer beaters, close games, and suspense, but it’s kinda nice to see an occasional upset throw everyone’s bracket for a major loop, right? Some people select their brackets based on studying statistics, some base their picks off of the team color, and some base their select... Read More »
I woke up with a frown on my face. Looked out the window, saw the rain, and questioned what reasoning I had to get out of bed. I sluggishly put on my t-shirt and faded blue jeans. Not caring about what I looked like, I paired my outfit with some broken sandals tied together by a thin black string. I wondered what might be so different about the day when so far, everything was as somber as usual on... Read More »
Until recently, I vowed that I would have an exclusive relationship with the workout system T25 for the rest of my life. Although I still have very strong feelings for the very effective 10 week DVD workout program, our relationship is starting to get a little “complicated” since my family and I made the decision to join the YMCA. I’ll be honest, in the beginning, I joined the Y ... Read More »
