02/24/2021 – Can’t Control the Weather

Have you ever had one of those moments where you really miss the mark? Last week was one of those weeks for me. We had an unreal winter storm that gave us a week of extreme low temperatures, icy roads, power outages, water leaks, and empty grocery shelves. January was a great month for the […]

Growing a Family of Ass Kickers

2020 has taught me that even when bad things happen to you, they happen for the good of you, if you are striving to live a good life. By good life, I mean acting out a set of principles or values derived from your higher purpose. One thing I’ve been pushed to do this year […]

Pokemon in the Old-Folks Home

One year ago today, I brought my little boy home. I will never forget the joy I felt when Katy and I stepped back to look at our little baby sleeping in his car seat on our Airstream couch. It blows my mind that he’s one, and it’s even more difficult to believe that my […]

Moving On

Sometimes, time just flies. I remember when I created this blog, and all of these high hopes for sharing all sorts of interesting stories. I have often felt guilty for not writing, but the more time that passes, the more awkward if feels to write something. But, who cares, I feel like writing, so I’m […]

Life is Short

Life has been crazy, so it’s been a while since my last post. The last couple months have been great, and I have learned so much about myself. I have fallen more in love with living in Mildred, I have gained a greater appreciation for organizational skills (still working on those) and I have gained […]

RV Life

Well, November seems like a lifetime ago, but I remember few times in my life feeling as content as I do right now. Life has not been perfect, but I have experienced a level of freedom that brings me back to my childhood, and specifically fear over the stories I heard in church as a […]

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is something that I have always believed in, but struggled with at times. I’ve always been independent and 100% okay writing a friend (or family member) off if they crossed me the wrong way or hurt someone I love. This tendency to be stubborn and hold a position come hell or high water seems […]

Lessons from the Grocery Store

Last night, I went to the grocery story with Katy to pick up some food (as much as you can fit in an RV fridge). While we were picking up the necessities, we noticed a peculiar man wearing a hoodie (head covered) and a bandana covering his face like a bank robber in an old […]

2/19/2014 – Resistance

Ever since we found peace in starting our life in an RV together, we’ve been met with some pretty comical resistance. We searched long and hard before we finally were able to purchase an Airstream. We thought the Craigslist Gods had led us to the perfect rig. We met a sweet couple, got a sweet […]

11/24/2013 – In the beginning, there was a camper.

11/24/2013 I’ve kicked myself many times in my 25 year life for not keeping a journal. Today, I will stop kicking myself and start writing stories. Undoubtedly many of the things I write will be silly and sarcastic, but I hope to be just as transparent and genuine as I am light-hearted. That’s one of […]
