It’s been a whirlwind of emotions this past month. First, angry because it felt like this day would never come and everything kept getting backed up. So, what did I do? I procrastinated the hell out of the time we had left in our house, knowing I would be missing all the amenities I’ve come …
After so much time deciding what kind of vehicle we were going to purchase we thought the Nissan NV would be the vehicle until… We drew out the space in the garage and stood inside it without anything built in. The first thing we noticed was, we barely had enough room to move around in …
Today I was thumbing through my friends posts on Instagram and Facebook looking at pictures of everyone in their Halloween costumes. All the smiling faces and perfectly done make-up.

After spending the better part of 10 years as a cop and having my career lost due to an injury, I was left with a gut wrenching decision to make. That decision was “What do I do now?” See, I never thought I’d lose my career, after all, I’d spent countless hours in college and …
In the last 10 years, Bronson and I have traversed 16 countries, countless cities and most of the states we actually care to visit. We always travel lightly, so any time we’re flying, we take a carry-on backpack. If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t go. I’m 100% impatient, well maybe now I’m like only 96% …
8 Years Global Who would be crazy enough to leave great paying jobs that allow 2 months of vacation every year, a brand new custom built home and a community where the kids can still be kids and ride their bikes a mile or 3 to a friend’s house without …
