What do we tell our kids?

Raising kids is hard. There are days that I’ve wondered why we decided to have kids. When I look at the world around me and all the tragedy and hatred and pure evil, I wonder why we waited so long, why I was born when I was, why we raised our kids in the US and not in some remote fishing village off the Arctic Sea, or why we aren’t living in some country where the worst we have to worry about is the bears or the lions.

Hitting a milestone!

I was so nervous if you’ll recall from my first post. Eating prepared meals that can outlive the apocalypse was a bit scary. I mean, I’ve even questioned if God Himself can destroy the meals when the…

Tiramisu!

I was so tired this morning in general and my eyes were burning. I was literally just exhausted. I’m sure a lot of it was food and the other part of it was in general beating myself into the…

Hot Sauce Makes (Almost) Everything Better

I’ve become so bored with microwaved pizzas from Nutrisystem so I’ve ordered other food to help get over that.

My first big mistake. I mean, I already know not to order MRE’s. So, let me share this with you:

Clayton C. Anderson and NASA

To Clayton: Thank you. You’ll never understand the passion you put behind our son. He’s a little guy who strives for attention and sometimes, self-worth. He wants so much to find his place in this world and I’ve always been convinced God has a special task for him. I pray the fire you lit in him stays for the…
