I have been evicted. Yes, you read that right. I was recently booted from my office at home by my landlord. She informed me a couple weeks ago (for the first time) that I was getting the boot. When I asked why, all she said was “this room will be the baby’s play room.” There... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving 2023
My holiday weekend started last Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. We were lucky enough to get off work early, so my work-day ended at 3:30pm instead of 5. Our original plan was to drive down to my in-laws on Wednesday, but we decided against it because we didn’t want to drive in the dark with... Continue Reading →
California trip – Days 2&3
Day 2 timeline (long post ahead) After last night’s shenanigans at the rehearsal dinner, I thought waking up today was going to be a lot harder considering I don’t drink alcohol that much anymore. However, I woke up at 6:30am feeling much better than I expected. Once Lea woke up we went over to the... Continue Reading →

Today we officially moved back in to our house. It feels nice to have our own space again, but we’re going to miss my mom’s extra hands with the baby lol. But we will figure it out just like we did last time. Last night Lea and I started packing all of our things that... Continue Reading →
Secret Rooms & Season Openers
Yesterday was an exciting day for me. I went into Chicago for work and ended up finding a couple "secret rooms" on the 40th floor of our building. They aren't really secret, I just never went up there until yesterday after work. I took pictures and I'm excited to show you what I saw! It... Continue Reading →

Was thinking about this…
Good morning! Short post ahead… I’ve been thinking about this interview Lea and I did a few years ago. It’s titled Interview: Richard Henderson. You can find it under my interview tab, or click this link: https://theregionlife.com/2022/05/07/interview-richard-henderson/ As I read it again this morning I realized I had forgotten how much I loved writing it....

Happy spooky season!
Happy spooky season everyone! October is finally here, which means Halloween is right around the corner. I typically enjoy this time of year. The leaves change color and fall down, the air gets a little crispier, and pumpkins start taking over our towns. There’s many reasons to love this time of year, and tonight I... Continue Reading →
