Father's Day is a bittersweet holiday for me. It's bitter because my dad isn't here to see everything that's going on in my life. I know he would be proud, and I know he'd be obsessed with Baby O, his grandson. However, the day is sweet because I am now a father too (if you... Continue Reading →
Life- Grad Party, Engagement Party, and Festival
Longer title than usual, but that’s okay…I guess. It was a fun weekend and I’m excited to share it with you! It started on Friday. I ended my work day at 5pm, and quickly showered and changed for my youngest cousins high school graduation party. I’m excited for her, but also sad. Selfishly sad because... Continue Reading →
Florida Trip: Day Five

Florida Trip: Day Four
On day four I still woke up at 7:30am again - even though I went to bed around midnight. I’m not happy about it! Although, seven and a half hours of sleep isn’t bad I guess…I just wanted to sleep in, but that seems impossible these days. Being up so early meant getting breakfast by... Continue Reading →
Florida Trip: Day Three
Day three started a little differently than day two. I actually woke up at 7:30 and went to the gym at the hotel to work out lol. I know, I’m surprised too. But it felt really good to get a good workout in before starting my day. Will I do it on day four? No,... Continue Reading →

WP Prompt: What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
Daily writing promptWhat is the legacy you want to leave behind?View all responses I once saw a video that said “when you raise a son you’re raising your replacement”. I knew this before I became a dad, but it didn’t hit me and sink in until my son was here. It’s scary, in a way, thinking... Continue Reading →
Mother’s Day 2024
I’ll be honest with you all. I forgot to write this on Sunday…and Monday….BUT…here I am tonight lol. I would say Lea enjoyed her Mother’s Day this year. Why wouldn’t she? It was beautiful day outside, and we had a really enjoyable family day. It started in the morning. I woke up with Baby O... Continue Reading →
Orthodox Easter
Also known as "Easter number 2" for our little family Christ is Risen! ("Truly He is Risen!") Easter number 2 started last Friday (which was our Good Friday). I spent the day working unfortunately, and it was a busy day so it kinda stunk. However, that night I was finally able to make it to... Continue Reading →
