One Step at a Time
To kick things off with this post, we're just about to officially wrap up our Pledge It for the Sackett family. My initial goal was $5,000, and if I were honest, I actually didn't believe we'd hit that when I put it together. At the time this post is written, we've...
What a Day
It's been a pretty hard day and past week... That line above, "it's pretty a pretty hard day and past week" is all that I wrote before I quit writing and closed up my laptop. I couldn't put words to what I was feeling. Not only couldn't I have at the time, but more...
January 2019 • Florida Sun and Renewed Perspectives
Here's my attempt at sharing some sort of update for the month of January. I wanted to write a whole lot more than I have been. After the absolute crazy transition a few months back, I found myself falling off of the writing bandwagon. That's sad because there have...
Death is Heartless
I don't want to write tonight. I don't want to write in the same way that sometimes I don't want to go out and run. On those days, it's usually a mile or two into the run that I realize lacing up is exactly what I needed. I have a feeling this is going to be very much...
Nine Years | New Jobs, A Framed Dog, and a Happy Wife
I'm sitting here with my coffee cup in hand, getting Friday started. The newness of the recent transition is starting to fade a bit as we settle into our new place, with our new schedules. I genuinely miss seeing the people that I would every day when we were living...
The Dust Has Settled
I simply cannot believe that we've been in our place in Cuyahoga Falls for over a month now. We've explored new areas, met new people, started new jobs and time has absolutely flown by. I think that the craziness of last month's move has calmed quite a bit and the...
Our Crazy Move of June
So, June, 2018 was absolutely crazy. What started as an invitation for Kortney to join the ranks at a new fitness studio, quickly turned into both her and I changing jobs, selling our house, and moving north a bit. Read on to learn more about the move... It all...

Family Photo Session in Akron
To celebrate another year of marriage, I booked a photo session with LovelyInk Creative (look below for a discount on booking your own session). I thought sharing the photos together on a blog post might be a fun way to tell the story and share the photos with friends...
New Eyeglasses from GlassesShop.com
Here's the problem I face every single time I need to go to the eye doctor: Do I pay the two to three hundred dollars to get a new pair of glasses (lenses, frames, then all the fancy add-ons). You probably know by now that you can take your prescription online and...
30 for 30: Life in the Mundane (Post 3)
Here we have it - this is the third post following my determined effort to make the most of my 30th year. After sketching up the list of 30 things to do while I'm 30, I remember sheepishly hitting publish. I was afraid of a couple of things. I know I'm a long, long...
30 for 30: Post 2
In this 30 for 30 post, I battled being disciplined with working out, watched Star Wars, and added something new to my bucket list! Check it out. For this whole 30 for 30 push, I think I've committed to much more than I thought I did when I clicked publish on my first...
30 for 30 Has Begun: Post 1
'30 for 30' is 30 things to do while I'm 30. I'd encourage you to read through, offer your own advice, tell me below what I should have added (or what is ridiculous for haven added), and definitely tell me what you want to be a part of — because I'll need some help...
OS X Yosemite Beta
You could say that I am just a wee bit excited about this invitation. Have you had any experience with Mac OS X Yosemite? What have you seen? What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them before I dig in! "As promised, Apple has started rolling out a public beta...
Did Jesus Have to be Born of a Virgin?
Why did Jesus have to be born to a virgin? I am sure that you have heard the story time and time again… Wise men come from afar, following a star. Gathered in a manger then evading homeland danger. They met baby Jesus, of virgin birth, who came to save all on earth....
Obedience: What does a life of faith in Christ really look like?
Say you were reading through the Old Testament and began to notice the number of commandments listed. Maybe some of the weird laws stuck out to you and they really got you to think about the variety of commandments. Did you see that in Leviticus 11:21-22 people of...
John 6:29: “The work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
John 6:25–34 (ESV) 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves....
Why is the Human Lineage of Jesus Important? (A look at Matthew 1:1-17 & Luke 3:23-28)
Have you ever heard the saying, “You get it honest”? This saying means that you have inherited some trait from your mother or father (whether you like it or not) and someone has noticed that characteristic in you! We all pick up some qualities from our grand ‘ole...
