This week my wife and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. If you are unfamiliar with the story of how it happened, I have blogged about it before.

Celebrating a Rite of Passage
The Oxford Dictionary defines a "rite of passage" this way: a ceremony or event marking an important stage in someone's life, especially birth, puberty, marriage, and death.

It involves a significant change … Continue reading Celebrating a Rite of Passage
Life’s Little Moments
I want to take a moment and say thank you to those who have emailed or commented asking about my wife. She is recovering nicely and has her two week follow up this week. I returned to work on Thursday. I was supposed to be off Thursday and Friday, but my wife decided I was … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
I Don’t Know How She Does It
One week. That's all I did. One week and I am exhausted! As she recovered from surgery, I took on all the responsibilities of my wife for one entire week. I look back in amazement. I just don't know how she does it. How does she manage the calendar that she keeps while I am … Continue reading I Don’t Know How She Does It

My wife was right. It was a silly book with great satirical humor. There were … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Widow’s Husband’s Secret Lie
My Funny Valentine Story
I like to bring Sam flowers. It's nice that you can go to almost any grocery store and find them. They're far from the quality you'd get from a florist, but they are perfect for an "I was thinking of you today" gesture. Anytime someone purchases something from our bank account, we get a text … Continue reading My Funny Valentine Story
The Music of My Life – 2007
Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life. In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2007
Book Recommendation – The Lake of Lost Girls
My phone dinged one night at about 1:30am. Usually I put it on silent, but that night I hadn't. I picked up my phone and read the text from my wife. "OMG! You have GOT to read this one!" It came with a screen shot of the cover. That is what led to my reading … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Lake of Lost Girls
