Funny Memory

The above photo is exactly how I remember the cafeteria in K-Mart growing up! Somehow some coworkers and I started talking about the days when you could actually get a full meal at K-Mart (Or as my grandma called it, THE K-Mart.). As time went on, it became more of a counter that sold pizza … Continue reading Funny Memory →

Mid-Week Lookback

Just this week I was reminded that my wife and I got our new vehicles. We each got a Chevy Trax. What is had to believe is that just two years later, mine hit a big milestone. She hit 100,000 miles driving south on I-75 on my way to work. Here's to the next 100,000! … Continue reading Mid-Week Lookback →

Life’s Little Moments

I've said this numerous times, but it is so special when I can get all of my kids together. My oldest had called and asked if we could go to dinner on Father's Day. I told him that I would like that and suggested we go somewhere cheap. My thoughts were to go to a … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Popsicles and Ice Cream

I apologize for not giving an update sooner.  Thank you for your prayers and well wishes for our daughter.  Ella's surgery went well and she came home Thursday evening.  They wound up not taking the tonsils out completely.  They basically shave them down, which leads to an easier recovery.  I'm not sure it's been easy … Continue reading Popsicles and Ice Cream →

Life’s Little Moments

On Friday of last week, we had temperatures in the mid to upper 70's. On Saturday, they were in the upper 30's and low 40's. There was also a lot of wind, so it felt colder than that. This was the first day of soccer for Andrew and me. He was so excited that I … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Much Needed Time

Yesterday I was supposed to work. When I woke up, I saw a text from work saying that we were down patients and it was my turn to stay home. There was a staff meeting that I had to call in and be a part of, but after that, it was all family time! The … Continue reading Much Needed Time →

Time Well Spent

Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent →

Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of

There is never a dull moment at our house! It was a weekend full of some really memorable moments. Saturday was a laid back kind of day. After dinner, I took the kids for a walk around the neighborhood. It was a bit warm and I was sweating pretty good afterwards. I knew that if … Continue reading Her Name Up In Lights – Sort Of →

My Father’s Day Weekend

Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting. Sam had texted me that Ella was anxious for me to come home to get my present. Ella was excited because she had seen … Continue reading My Father’s Day Weekend →
