Changes

I’m sure everyone goes through it. I just seem to be going through it a lot more lately. The wanting of a change of “scenery”. Maybe get up and move to a new area, start a new life, begin a new job, find a new adventure, test new limits, try something that exhilarates me, seek […]

Thoughts.

I overheard this somewhere and it resonated with me for the longest time. 💪 Depression is when you’re worried about the past.Anxiety is when you’re worried about the future.Happiness is when you’re living in the moment.

Broken

My heart is heavy and broken. Words can’t express the feelings or emotions one goes through when losing a loved one, especially when it comes to a parent. I’ve put off a social post in hopes of putting together a fitting tribute to a man who has done so much for so many. My way […]

Seasons

The changing of the season feels different for some reason.  This morning was the first day in which it finally felt like fall—the crispness in the air and the falling of the leaves.  I was able to walk through my subdivision path at 5:00 am listening to music and feeling a sense of relaxation and […]

14-Years

Today marks our 14th year of marriage together. 14 years. Full of hard work, ups, and downs, accomplishments and successes, disappointments and mistakes. I’ve experienced how rewarding it is to be a couple and how lucky we are to have one another by each other’s side. I’ll be perfectly honest, marriage is tough. Very tough. […]

365 Days Stronger

It has been exactly 365 days since my final chemo treatment for cancer and receiving the news that I was in complete remission.  I’m happy to report that I continue to be in good health after my 1-year doctor visit at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center a few weeks ago.  I think back to the […]

Rory

When we first arrived at Big Bones Animal Rescue it wasn’t our families intent to begin to look for a dog.  I knew I wanted a dog for our young kids, but not at that specific time.  Our goal was to drop off donated food, cleaning supplies and tons of paper towel rolls since they […]

Listen to your Heart

The world is giving me answers each day. Learn to listen to both sides. The good will always out weigh the bad. Listening to the GOOD (no order) Anika – dedicated, healthy, happy, sensitive, caring, athletic, beautiful Andrew – smart, passionate, intense, innovative, spunky, funny, driven, handsome Exercise Devotion time Creativity My Mom and Dad […]

One-On-One Time

….and we are off! A very special date night that includes dinner and a special VIP father-daughter dance to top off the evening. I can’t tell you how special this evening is for me to be able to spend precious time with Ms. Anika all to myself. These past few months have been extremely difficult, […]

Nice Guys, Finish Last

I have to admit that the statement, “Nice Guys, Finish Last” never resonated with me heading into the dating world.  It was a statement that was thrown around, but clearly, I never felt the need to associate it with me or my personal characteristics. I believe in society there is a common misconception of there […]

The Phrase

For the past 11 years my wife has dropped our kids off each morning for school and has whispered a small phrase that I have taken to heart.  As they pull up to the front of school, both kids gather up their backpacks, give kisses and spring out of the car.  Prior to running up […]

Today’s Waves

Scripture I’ve been reading over and over. MY FACE IS SHINING UPON YOU, beaming out Peace that transcends understanding. You are surrounded by a sea of problems, but you are face to Face with Me, your Peace. As long as you focus on Me, you are safe. If you gaze too long at the myriad […]

Farewell 2020!

Happy New Year!  I try to be such an optimistic person. No matter how terrible things might feel at a given moment, I firmly believe they can get better. 2020 has not been an easy year (understatement of the year, no?).  It has brought so many emotions to my life including battling cancer, inhaling Colorado […]

3,000 Miles

It has been quite the journey when I took up running in 1990 after I knew my 125 lb. frame couldn’t take the hits and pounding of football. (Ahhhh… the days of great metabolism and being able to eat 3 Big Macs and feel fine). Ever since joining cross country and track in high school, […]

Figuring Me Out

I’ve found out that one of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it is guilt, anger, love, loss, or betrayal. Change is never easy. I fight to hold on when I should fight to let go. At times I expect too much from others and I believe that this is a downfall. […]

Trust.

A few quotes I’ve been living by. “One lie is enough to question all truths.”  “A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.” …and drum roll please  “I respect someone that respects me when I’m not around.”
