Month End: October Snapshot
This month was truly a special month. My sister-in-law Jennifer got married to Jake. Jill, my-in-laws, my Mom, Evie and I traveled up to Indiana for their wedding. Jennifer allowed both my Mom and Evie to participate in the wedding by having my Mom walk Evie down the aisle while Evie wore a sign that […]

Month End: September Snapshot
Since 2019, I have more actively started listening and watching podcasts. It is a form of free expression, and after watching the same guests on multiple podcasts with multiple hosts, I’ve found a format that I enjoy listening to the most. I love the long form conversation podcast. It’s informal and it’s natural. I do […]

Month End: August Snapshot
My in-laws decided to sell their existing home and buy a new home and move into our subdivision. With the help of my nephew Jarvaris and Bob’s childhood friend Dennis we were able to move them into their new house. For me it feels like 2021 is a sequel to 2020 due to similar events […]

Month End: July Snapshot
I graduated Auburn University in 2002 with a degree in business administration. I did not even know what business administration was, and I would find out in my senior that it meant management. I had chosen this major to graduate within four years. My freshman year, I was attending Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia. I had […]

Month End: June Snapshot
The last beach trip Jill and I had was in 2019 related to her work. Even with the restrictions of COVID, I wanted to take her to the beach this year to celebrate when we first started dating in June of 2013. I remember prior to 2018 I really didn’t enjoy beach trips. This trip […]

Month End: May Snapshot
This is Jill’s first Mother’s Day as a mother. She’s so phenomenal as a mother. The love she has for me is even more magnified for Evie and I can see it. At times, I don’t feel like an adequate father. Growing up, I was primarily raised by my Mom, because Dad had to take […]

Month End: April Snapshot
Last year I wanted to have Dad’s funeral on 4/21/2020. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 Pandemic created restrictions on in-person gathering. I asked my Mom if she still wanted to do some form of ceremony to honor his life, and she did. For her, it was a process of closure. Like me, she had to live through […]

Month End: March Snapshot
This month I begin our march toward being debt free except the house with my last two remaining debts. The one mountain which we are climbing first is my student loan with Navient. Despite paying off $2,987.60 up to this point, it feels like this particular debt is enormous. I’ll explain in a future post. […]

Month End: February Snapshot
It looks like the government has approved a third round of PPP loans, which is great for small businesses. However, for me it’s a flashback of last year, and I’m beginning to realize that 2021 is looking a lot like 2020. It feels like 2020 the sequel. I may have spoken too soon in believing […]

Month End: January Snapshot
At the end of January, I’m glad that 2020 is gone and that 2021 has begun. I feel like this year must be better than last year. Mentally and emotionally surviving the Pandemic, it cannot get worse. I can only imagine how other families have handled the loss of lives caused by this virus, and […]
