Homecoming…

March 8, 2012

Helloo!!! “I don’t think we’re in New Zealand anymore Toto.” Yep, my exact thoughts. As soon as we landed in LA, a rush of adrenaline hit. Yes, half of it was the jet lag and strong coffee combination, but the other half was just REAL. Let me tell you our travel plans, just humor. 4 [...]

September 21, 2011

This morning I woke up fully intending to get outside for some physical activity. The air was cooler than normal (for Texas that means it was around 65-70F) and the humidity was low. It was perfect running/hiking weather. But as the sun slowly started to come up, I felt my body telling me to take [...]

Power of Prayer

September 8, 2011

I could sit here and recap in great detail what the past 4 days have been like, but I won’t. If you’ve seen the news or been on Facebook, you know. You know the depths of the fires that surround us, you know how many lives have been affected, you know how hard the rescue [...]

Labor in Prayer

September 5, 2011

Guys I am asking that you labor in prayer right now. We have been evacuated from our homes and our neighborhood. We are safe but many people have lost homes. This video is right down the road from us. We are not sure if my work (the gym) has been affected either. The winds are still crazy today [...]

Weekend Entertainment

September 4, 2011

The hubs has a slight obsession with LeBron James. In fact, when we have kids, he wants our first son to be named Lebron. Sorry hubs, not gonna push out a watermelon for that. I doubt our child will be 6’6” anyway. Just ain’t gonna happen. But I’ll make a deal. How ‘bout I film you doing [...]
