Full Time Swag
One week in as full timers and what a journey it’s been. Every bit of the roller coaster I expected it to be. Crazy highs and crazy lows, but I’m personally beginning to deal with the lows like, well, more of an adult. Day one we pass through Columbia, MO and stop to visit a... Continue Reading →
Shortly after committing to going full-time, Aimee and I started talking about branding because, well, that's what we do. I've been in the promotional industry for 13 years: 1 as a freelance writer followed by 12 in sales. Aimee for 14, wearing every hat conceivable...sales support, program support, management, therapist, marketing, IT and finally sales.... Continue Reading →
Brought my boys and their friend down to Byerly RV to pick up the Beast. Thought they might get a kick out of riding in it, even if it was just from one repair shop to the next. They're weren't really enthused, because it meant leaving their video games for an hour or so, but... Continue Reading →

I was careful to mark each box on the outside with it's contents so we would know what was inside. The one thing I kept saying is that I... Continue Reading →
I really don't. And that bothers me. I don't like "not knowing," but that's all I seem to know right now. Every answer out of my mouth seems to be "I don't know." Maybe at 40 I've hit a mental wall, or exceeded my hard drive capacity. I wish I wouldn't have devoted so much... Continue Reading →
We've always kicked around crazy ideas, not fully committing head space to anyone one in particular, just dreaming about possibilities and scenarios. "What if we built one of those container homes? What if we downsized, home-schooled and just traveled a lot more? What if we sold our house and moved to Costa Rica and ran... Continue Reading →
