Hello, thanks for coming!

I am grateful for the fact that this exists.

This site is dedicated to my high/low game (without the nefarious low portion).  It will normally consist of a small blurb about a singular event that made my heart smile for the day.  I do, however, feel that I should begin with an overview of the weighty gratitude that I possess.


A small piece of my awesome family.

First and foremost, I am grateful for/to my Jesus, for eternity and for the present.  Please understand, I do not say this as a mere Christian platitude but as the basis for all my gratitude (and, you know, that whole salvation thingy). 

I could write for days on how blessed I am for my family, through blood, blending, and every other way they have been made a part of my life.  My parents are incredible, my brothers are inspirational, my sisters in law are beautiful (in spirit and physicality), my step-sister – well words wouldn't really suffice.  The list of cousins and aunts and uncles and how much they’ve added to my life could fill the virtual space provided me.


One of those amazing friends I was mentioning :)

My friends, oh goodness, I don’t think I could begin to do justice to how truly amazed I am at how loving, inspiring, dedicated, talented, and flat out amazing they all are.  Talk about blessings: my cup runneth over.

Then there is my job, apartment, car, etc… All those "big" things that I don’t want you, my astute reader, to think I take for granted (although, honestly, sometimes I do). 

But because I am pretty good at all these “big picture” things, I want to focus on the “I was witness to the most amazing sunrise on my way to work” type of moments that I let slip through my fingers.  After all, it is the collection of little moments that create the sum of a lifetime, or something like that…

  1. I am grateful for a healthy baby girl born a week ago today who sometimes can't fall asleep unless I'm holding her (tiring, but I know I will miss it!)
