The Little Things.
At times, I feel like I overlook the “small things” in life. The things that make me happy. You know.. the joys of living in a small town. The happiness of watching both of my kids grow up in front of me, beautiful sunrises on my morning walks, or colorful sunsets over the mountains at […]
Local Volunteering
At the start of this year, our family made the best intentions to be more genuine in volunteering our time to different Weld County nonprofits. We always do our best to provide financially, but it always seems more meaningful to lend a helping hand when needed in the communities where we work and live. We […]
Thankful
Daily thankfulness for the small things that I enjoy, look forward to, and can’t wait to experience. I love knowing I can bookend Day 1 to Day 30. ❤️
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]

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. […]
Life.
Love the life you live. Live the life you love.
Growing Up.
While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.
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.”
