We Wouldn't Trade a Thing.

We Wouldn't Trade a Thing.

20 years is a long time. Think back to what you were doing 20 years ago. Some of you reading this were not even born yet. Others can remember 20 years ago like it was 20 minutes ago.

For us, we were getting married 20 years ago today.

Love's Renovation.

During this week 13 years ago, the darkness was so dark that no glimpse of light was to be found. During this week 13 years ago, the pain was so real that it was difficult to breathe. During this week 13 years ago, we both desperately wanted the hurt to disappear.

Our marriage was over 13 years ago this week.

Today will always be a day of celebration. January 30th will forever by the day that my life changed. The day that my marriage changed. The day that generations would be changed.

January 30th, 2008 is the day that I took my last drink of alcohol.

These are all phrases that Addyson, our incredible daughter, could have easily given in to and no one would have blamed her if she quit what she said she was going to do. Little did we know that our lives would never be the same because of her passion that was birthed nearly two years ago.

The Silent Drug.

I DON'T DRINK.

It’s only three words but with these few words, a line is drawn in the sand.

You are not asking the question, “you don’t drink what?”. You know exactly what I mean when I say these three words.

The Other Side Of An Addiction.

The Other Side Of An Addiction.

Evenings out with friends were always enjoyable, fun, and filled with laughter. The night might have included our favorite karaoke bar, restaurant, or just a night alone. Wherever we were, alcohol was involved.
