Yesterday, with anxieties high from very long work weeks, Freddy and I settled into our Sunday morning seats. When the message began to unfold, I felt the initial pang of an honest word calling me out. Naturally, I tried to find a way to rewrite those words so they could apply to Freddy. Hahahaha! Anyway,…

Wedding Nostalgia
Is it too early to have wedding nostalgia? Freddy and I went up to Traverse City this weekend to celebrate the “Winter Happenstance” with the Shier clan. They invited my parents up as well and we spent the weekend eating, drinking, playing “pass the baby” and being merry. It was awesome. Refreshing. Exciting. Calming. You…

February 11: Update

Oh! Hello, December.
Good grief! Where have the days gone? It’s already December! December means that Freddy and I are running out of time to find the perfect Christmas tree. We have the best place for it. Well, we had the best place for it – in the corner, right in front of the small window by the…

6 Weeks and Counting
So it’s been about 6 weeks since my wife, Megan, has been reeling you into our new life together through her favorite scratchpad…. blogging. Originally, we were going to maintain this blog as a partnership, but I haven’t really been able to keep my end of the bargain up until now. Maybe it’s because I would…
