Mother's Day is such a great day. It is a day where Mom's all around the world are honored, remembered, and get extra love. I don't really like it when people say, "well Mom's should be appreciated every day of the year, not just on one day of the year." That isn't the point of… Continue reading Mother’s Day

Running…Again
I only ran once this week and that isn't something I am particularly proud of. Although, the day I ran I felt like I had a good run. Comparatively speaking, it wasn't great, but luckily I am not comparing myself and my running to anyone, but...myself. I do not remember what my exact run… Continue reading Running…Again
Adventures in Running
For some reason, I decided to sign up for a half-marathon that will take place in California, in September. I signed up in January and here we are in May, and I don't feel like I am going to be anywhere near prepared by the time this run comes up. Granted it is only May,… Continue reading Adventures in Running
Fuck you snow, and fuck you anxiety
It is currently 2:32 pm in Colorado and what am I doing? Drinking a beer. The fact that I am drinking a beer shouldn't be all that surprising. I am not an alcoholic, but I do like to enjoy my Michelob Ultra, especially on a Friday after a long week of work. Well, let's be honest:… Continue reading Fuck you snow, and fuck you anxiety

Where Were You?
Where were you on this day 14 years ago? I was a senior in high school driving to school. I will never forget that day for as long as I live. Two days prior to that fateful day, I had flown home to Texas after spending four days in sunny San Diego. It was a Tuesday… Continue reading Where Were You?
Taking Chances
When I was 19 I decided I was going to join the military. After a little bit of back and forth with my family, we decided that the Air Force was the best fit for me. Long story (about that) short, four months after I started talking to my recruiter, I was off to Lackland… Continue reading Taking Chances
The Judgment is Not Yours
Initially I was not going to write about this particular subject for a number of reasons. It had absolutely nothing to do with my personal thoughts, opinions, or beliefs about it. Rather, I felt like every media outlet I looked at had this as its top story. I did not want to contribute to the… Continue reading The Judgment is Not Yours
Simple Life Lessons
What is respect? I wonder how many are actually able to define the correct and true meaning of respect? For me, I know what it means but would probably have a hard time defining respect if I were asked to. Respect is to respect someone. There is no other way around it. According to Merriam-Webster, respect is:… Continue reading Simple Life Lessons
