There is something about me that most guys would be afraid to say. I think it is time I just come clean and admit it. There is no shame in my game. I like Taylor Swift’s music. There I said it. It’s out in the open. That’s a huge weight of my chest. Some of you may be judging me, but you just need to go ahead and admit that the catchy tune of “Shake It Off” gets stuck in your head every time you hear it. You can act all big and bad, but deep down there is some part of you that enjoys it. [Read more…] about 1989

Moving At The Speed Of Life
Life is happening super fast right now. As I’m sure most of you are aware, my baby boy will be born next March. Angela and I went and registered for a bunch of stuff a couple of weeks ago. That is overwhelming. There are so many choices and so many things you need. I mean there are like 5 million kinds of pacifiers. You don’t want to pick the wrong one and mess your kid up for life. Since having a kid wasn’t enough, Angela and I signed a contract on a house about a week and half ago. We close on the house on November 26, which is 20 days after we signed the contract. It’s my first time buying a house, but I’ve been told that is a super short time frame to close on a house. [Read more…] about Moving At The Speed Of Life
A Little Encouragement Can Go A Long Way
Last week I was having an average day. There was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing great either. It was election day, so I got to read a bunch of tweets about how I’m a terrible American. I didn’t vote. I hate listening to all the political garbage that is out there. Honestly I forgot it was election day and didn’t know anything about the candidates. Rather than be an uninformed voter, I decided to just sit this one out. [Read more…] about A Little Encouragement Can Go A Long Way
Pink or Blue?
Ever since July 16, Angela and I have looked forward to today. In some ways, it seems like it took no time to get here. In other ways, it seems like it took forever. Today is the day we found out the gender of our baby. Up until today, one of the most popular questions we have been asked is if we were going to find out what the gender was. Our answer was yes. We want to be able to decorate and get things for our baby based on their gender. I am also impatient and wouldn’t want to wait until they were born to find out. [Read more…] about Pink or Blue?
How I Became a Patient Driver
I was driving home from work today on I-40 and there was something that was really annoying me: impatient drivers. There is a stretch of road that I drive home where the right lane ends. It has been that way for as long as I can remember, yet it still causes traffic every morning and afternoon. It really baffles me about why people don’t realize that the lane is ending and just go ahead and merge over. Sure there are some drivers that may be driving that stretch for the first time, but many drive it every day. What I have realized is that it gets backed up every day due to impatient drivers.

Shake It Off
When I was in high school I loved to wear pajama pants. They were really comfortable, so I would wear them at least once a week. If you know anything about me, you know I went out and found some of the wackiest pajama pants I could. One day I wore them to school and when I got to football practice my coach said to me, “I didn’t know today was Pajama day.” I replied, “It’s not, I just like them.” The look on his face was priceless. I could clearly see that he did not agree with my decision to wear my green palm tree print pajama pants. [Read more…] about Shake It Off
