Music is Life

I love music! I always have a radio on in the house or car. Marshall, Sydney, and Moriah all have their own taste in music. Sydney falls asleep every night to Bieber or One Direction. Marshall enjoys a variety of artists. He listens to music while completing his homework and when he works out. Moriah sings in the car and has become quite fond of The Lumineers or anything played on 102.7 Kiss (out of Los Angeles).

The playlist for our family currently looks like this...

Ho Hey ---- The Lumineers
When I Was Your Man ---- Bruno Mars
Scream Shout - will.i.am & Britney
Don't You Worry - Swedish House Mafia
Home --- Phillip Phillips
Little Things ---- One Direction
Thrift Shop ------ Macklemore
I Will Wait ---- Mumford & Sons
50 Ways to Say Goodbye --- Train
Battle Scars ----- Lupe Fiasco
As Long As You Love Me --- Bieber
Daylight ---- Maroon 5
Some Nights ----- Fun.
Whistle ------ Flo Rida
Be Alright ----Bieber (acoustic version)

May your life be filled with good music.

My Ride or Die Chick

My wife is an amazing woman. Shauna is a wonderful mom, teacher, spouse, friend, and person. I'm very thankful to have Shauna in my life.

Twenty years ago, as high school students, we started dating. In the last twenty years, we have cultivated our marriage, had three children, started careers, survived rocky times, laughed, cried, made numerous memories as a couple and a family, traveled, and much much more.

Along the way, we made the difficult decision to say goodbye to some members of our "family". It had become virtually impossible for us to show and teach our kids about what it means to be a family when we constantly had to deal with disappointment, lies, and selfish behavior from the people who were closest to us. You see, Shauna and I have a great understanding of what it means to be a real family.

Other things my change but we start and end with family.

I hope and pray that I will be blessed with at least another twenty years with my wife, my partner, my best friend, my love, and my everything.

Play Like the Comets

Last Sunday, Sydney's soccer team was invited to scrimmage on the Missouri Comets field before the Comets took the field at 3pm for their game. Sydney loved playing on the same field that the professionals play on.
