Tackling the Comparison Struggle

Photo Credit: Ataradrac I have been married to my beautiful wife, Jen, for 8 years this December.  I have learned so much in those years.  Women are wonderful, beautiful, amazing,…..and COMPLICATED creatures.  Can I get an AMEN from those 10 guys out there reading?  I have also come to realize that the reason women are …

Happy Daddy Day 2009

Here’s a little belated surprise for our favorite Man of the House! I cannot match the words he wrote for my Mother’s Day Post or really even begin to describe how blessed four boys are to have such a loving, respectable, father in their lives.
