I was honked at
I was hit on today while standing outside the coffee shop. My wife was cool with it. I drove over to grab a coffee and the drive-thru line was long so I walked up to the outside walk-up window. After I placed my order I was still standing outside, taking a phone...

Choices. Tears. Lessons Learned
Tears just happened. And tough life lessons were learned. Last weekend my eight year old did awesome at the lake kayaking in front of me on his own. He rocked his mom's smaller pink kayak. 😆 After looking at last weekend's pictures it really caught me how proud of him...
