Where’s the Water?

So we are left saying, “God, how about you put a sign up for me? Point me in the exact direction that you want me to go.” I would have..

Getting Through the Fog

I suffer from seasonal allergies.  It is zero, let me repeat that, zero fun.  Many mornings, I wake up in a fog not being able to breath or even see clearly.  It is frustrating to say the least.  I’ve tried different things over the years from shots to pills, but they don’t change the fact…

A Step of Faith…

Recently I made a visit to Chicago with my family.  It was a great trip.  While I’m not a “foodie,” I was blown away by my first “Chicago Dog” and Italian Beef at Portillo’s.  It was also my first exposure to “Chicago Style” pizza at Giordano’s.  While there, we also took in the sights.  We…

22 Years Into Losing Myself

Tomorrow, we remember one of the most important days in human history.  Okay… Maybe not that important, but it is pretty important to me.  Tomorrow, me and the Mrs. will be celebrating 22 years of marriage.  It seems like it was just yesterday when two crazy college students decided to commit their lives one to…

My Coolest Gadget…

I love my Garmin!  For those of you who aren’t runners, you may be wondering what I am talking about.  Garmin is the premier brand of running watches on the market.  This past Christmas, my wife and kids spoiled me and got me the Garmin Forerunner 920xt.  It will do everything.  It gives me time,…

Joy Robbers…

“Stop it!  Get out!”  Those were the words that I heard at about 6:15 on Easter morning.  When you are awaken from a pretty heavy sleep, those can be chilling first words to hear.  My wife was yelling in our living room and I wasn’t sure who she was yelling at.  I jumped out of…

It is Finished…

If you are around me very long, you will know that I am a little crazy.  In fact, I am officially a part of two groups that normal people don’t belong to:  Half Fanatics & Marathon Maniacs.  They help drive my passion for running and achieving crazy things.  This past weekend, I ran two Half…

An Unplanned Adventure…

A week ago, my son left the country.  He will be back soon, but it has been one crazy ride.  He flew out with an EF tour group from Tulsa headed to Italy, but got stuck in London.  For many of us, we would have immediately gotten upset.  Our trip wasn’t going as we had…

Arrivederci, Riley…

At 6:00 am this morning, our 16-year-old son left for the trip of a lifetime.  He is headed to Italy with an EF Educational Tour group.  I am excited for him and a little jealous.  He is going to see Rome, Venice, and even the Vatican.  The furthest I ever traveled before graduating high school…
