One of the best tidbits of wisdom I ever received from a mentor was this: “learn to recognize periods of transition in you life…and then hold on.” This is so true. As Heather and I made our way south on I-29 after leaving North Dakota with Andrew only weeks ago, there were several […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

On this Mother’s Day I bow my knee to the queen…that is, my wonderful wife. Yep, she is an amazing mom to our two children. Even more amazing? Only 8 months ago we were without children. Now we have enough to play doubles in tennis. But we don’t play tennis (random). […]

Heather and Sarah are both doing well. Sarah seems to really like Andrew and was […]

As many of you know that Heather and I are adopting another baby. Consequently, we received some great news this morning…our son was born at 8:48am in Jamestown, ND to my 1/2 sister Jennifer. He weighs 7 pounds-both mom and baby are doing wonderful! We will leave today to bring him home to […]
Stranger than Fiction
April 15th, 2007 · No Comments
Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Last night my wife and I curled up to watch Stranger Than Fiction, starring Will Ferrell. When it was finished I believe I could be heard saying, “This movie has just moved into my all-time top 10.” Ferrell is an IRS agent who finds his life turned upside-down when […]
