  • This doesn’t suck

    We scored a cheap night at a hotel ON the beach in Nags Head on the OBX for the night. The above pic is from the door of our room. The sound of the angry ocean from the crazy tropics right now is amazing. It never gets old. The sound of the thundering waves is…

  • I am SO socially awkward!!

    I feel out of place in almost any social setting. I am that person who, when the server tells me to enjoy my meal, I say “you, too!” like a bumbling fool. Please tell me I am not the only one! Any time I have to go into a situation where I don’t know the…

    Our Story

    My fiancee keeps asking me when I am going to talk about her on my blog. She has a point. She is an incredibly important part of my life and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. Our story is one of love and struggle, as most love stories go. I am truly…

  • Perseverance

    This is a tough prompt for me. I am not one to talk about myself in a positive way (something I am working on!). I had to think for a while to come up with something that fits me well. After a bit of consideration, I came up with perserverance. I have not had the…

  • The Sky is the Limit…someday

    All kidding aside, I would love to have a job that makes me feel fulfilled AND takes care of my financial needs. I am now 46 and definitely having the “mid-life crisis” feeling of dissatisfaction with my career. My job is not bad, and I like the people I work with, but it fills me…
