Our trip up North lasted for a mere 199 hours and logged 1,653 miles in the car and I am so thankful because apparently we have two little road warriors in our family.
Both the trip up and the trip back down lasted approximately 15 hours each. On the way home we decided to forgo any petri dish biological experimental accommodations and just muscle through the entire trip, so we left earlier in the morning. Continue reading »

You know what’s awesome about having two kids?…It provides a whole new set of opportunities for first experiences.

The weekend started off with a 5:30am wake up call (which is awesome for a weekend), to participate in the Miracle Miles 5K & 15K run downtown. It was an event to raise money for the Winnie Palmer hospital on behalf of an amazing family and an inspiring young man as part of Team Tin Man.

In death, I learned a lot about living…
My grandmother had been in the hospital and I planned on returning home for the weekend to visit her until I received a message on Wednesday letting me know that they did not expect her to make it through the night.
As I was driving home from work, Jenn found a flight for me and told me to change my plans. I got off the plane and went directly to the hospital at 10:30 pm. We sat together until about 5:30am…these long hours would become the norm over the next several days on my path to saying goodbye. Continue reading »
