When life doesn't go according to plan what do you do? Do you have a plan b, an alternate route to take? This week Sean and I mapped out the fall schedule, every weekend from now until Jan 1st! Michael's Ravens games are every Sunday, with a few exceptions, SJ has football games on Friday night and…
As I was plotting & planning my week, I realized that July was quickly coming to an end and August was upon us. You ask, why does that matter? August always comes after July. Well, August is the month that the good Lord brought me into this world and each year it gives me pause to stop and reflect…
There are several questions that Sean and I get asked each and every time we speak. One question is how accurate was The Blind Side? Very; my three kids left the theater and in reference to Sandra Bullock's performance said, "great there are two of them running around now." My rhetorical question…

This past week, my son SJ proclaimed he needed someone to shag baseballs for him. I'm not sure what that means, but his father Sean, happily agreed to go along on this outing. That evening Sean expressed that he hadn't lost his old form (he was drafted by some baseball team), and he exclaimed with…
Lt. Col. Frank D. Bryant Jr, grilling out, PFC Adriana Alvarez, going to the lake, Specialist Jamel A. Bryant, going to the beach, Pat Tillman, a family reunion. You ask yourself, what in the world does this list of names and activities have in common? Those amazing individuals are all part of a…
