• Making Our Marriage Work With Busy Lives

    We roll out of bed at 5am most days, then return to those cozy sheets around 10pm for a few quick hours before we start it all over again. We do our best to start the day with prayer and some Bible time but I would be lying if...
  • Falling In Love With Ana Tigre

  • Why We Didn’t Celebrate Our Anniversary This Year

    Our eighth wedding anniversary came and went with little fanfare on the 8th of this month.  Ana and I had dated four years before we married, we wanted to be sure.  So with a strong love and twelve years of wedded bliss under our belts, it should have been...
