Five years ago today I married the girl of my dreams. She’s been the best friend, companion and spouse any person could ever ask for and I’m so grateful that God brought us together. In fact, today, I’m grateful for a lot of things… I’m grateful that together we have made the choice to build […]

My wife and I were enjoying America’s Roller Coast this past weekend and at one point found ourselves in one of the many gift shops present there. Her dad was browsing for a ghoulish sweatshirt because he had misjudged the forecast by a few degrees so we kept ourselves busy by trying on sunglasses. Or […]
