That show was incredible. Like genuinely one of the best things I've watched in years. Haven't had time to sit down for stuff like this since before the kids so it felt weird and awesome at the same time. My wife watched it with me and we both just sat there in silence for like 20 minutes after the ...
Our son is 6 weeks and I think he might have smiled at me but it could have been gas. Everyone says wait til they actually smile at you and it changes everything. I'm impatient lol. How long did it take for yours to actually respond to you? Looking forward to this part because right now it's mostly ...
Dude I'm still shaking. We've been working on this for like 3 months and today he just took off down the driveway. Went a solid 50 feet before he chickened out but he RODE. My wife was filming and I was just standing there grinning like an idiot. He wants to practice every day now. This is the best.
I used to take trips to Southeast Asia on a whim. Just book a flight and figure it out. Now I'm planning a trip to the beach 3 hours away and it requires a spreadsheet and like 6 different bags. My buddies still text about their latest adventures and part of me misses that freedom like crazy. But th...
I told him I'm not reading instructions, I'm reading my autobiography. He didn't get it. I'll explain it to him in like 15 years when he tries to assemble something without the manual and realizes he's become me.
Hey brothers, asking for prayers for my wife who goes in for surgery next Tuesday. We're trying to stay faithful and trust God but honestly I'm nervous. Kids are picking up on my anxiety too. Would appreciate if anyone could lift us up. Praying for peace that passes understanding.
Had a rough week where I got angry with my kids over small stuff and I feel terrible about it. My wife pointed out that I'm not modeling the patience and grace that Jesus showed us. She's right and it's convicting. I know I need to pray more and be intentional about my reactions before I blow up. An...
Been in the same league for 8 years and somehow I'm the defending champ. Feeling pressure lol. Been studying mock drafts and podcasts way too much. Who's your pick for this year? I'm leaning toward going RB heavy this year but open to changing my strategy. League chat is getting spicy already.
Had plans to take the boys up north this weekend but my truck is having transmission issues. Mechanic says it'll be 2 weeks before he can even look at it. Trying to stay positive but this is rough timing. Anyone else have their plans derailed lately?
He walks to school now and I like the idea of him being able to text me if something goes wrong. But I also don't want him distracted or exposed to stuff online. Looking at kids phones that have limited features. Any recommendations or should I just wait another year or two?
She made coupons for things like 'free hug', 'breakfast in bed', 'movie of dads choice'. Watched her laminate them at school. I actually teared up a little when she handed it over. She's 8 and already nailing the dad gift game. I'm framing one of these coupons.
My son's baseball coach gave him extra attention and help all season. Instead of just saying thanks, I sat down and wrote the man a proper thank you letter. Told him specifically what his mentorship meant and dropped it off at his house. His wife texted my wife saying he kept it on his desk. Cost me...
Been working with my 8 year old on his handshake. Firm grip, eye contact, clear voice when saying his name. Had him practice with my father last weekend and the old man actually nodded with approval. These little things matter. They show character before a word is even spoken. Anybody else drilling ...
Three years, solid performance, but got passed over for a guy who works 60 hour weeks and has no kids. The feedback was I'm not showing enough commitment. Meanwhile I hit every deadline, my team's numbers are good, and I actually have a life outside these walls. Trying not to be bitter but it's hard...
Before I was commuting 90 minutes each way. Now I work from home 3 days a week. That's 5 hours of my life back every week. I actually eat lunch with my boys most days. I'm there when they get home from school. The work didn't get harder, I'm just not dead inside from sitting in traffic. Performance ...
