2 to 1 Mentoring...


Probably the most important things that Amanda and I have done since our engagement has been taking the pre-marital mentoring class through Buckhead Church. We decided from the get go that we were going to do this and I must say it has been the greatest thing to strengthen our relationship today and into our marriage.

For eight weeks, we met with an awesome couple (Brian and Catherine) and jumped into the issues that married couples deal with. It was so refreshing to get things out on the table and to get tools to help resolve things within a marriage. The conversations that were spurred from the sessions have brought Amanda and I closer together. We had to make some tough decisions going through the class but they will be so worth it in the long run.

I can't thank Brian and Catherine enough for the time they spent with us.

I highly recommend to any engaged couples to go through something like this. Whether it's church affiliated or not, you should do it...Marriage is supposed to be a one time thing so why not invest in it on the front side...

I'm sorry

It seems like I've been apologizing a bunch lately because of my lack of blogging and I have to do it again as I've been off the program big time. I hope Google doesn't pull my blog card because of my lack of...

Nonetheless, life is going fast right now...Traveling a lot for work right now. Florida last week, DC the past couple of days and Indianapolis the next two weeks. And then the Big Day...Looking forward to this one most...

I will say I had a good time in DC. I really didn't get to see much as we were tied up in meetings all day. I did however take about a 3 hour walk around the city. So much history and cool stuff to look at. The District really has an energy about it like no other place I've been to.

Anyways, lots of stuff coming soon...

Love You Mom

I have no idea how Moms do it...They're incredible and they are the backbone of families...And my mom epitomizes this...

Mom, you are the glue that holds things together and makes things happen. Dad, Shannon and I are better because of you.

All my self-esteem and confidence is a direct reflection of you...

Whenever I was down, you picked me up...
Whenever I screwed up, you loved me...
Whenever someone gave me crap, you wanted to kick their tail...

You're awesome Mom and I love you...

Thank you Mom for everything that you've done for me and for our family.
