Blog

My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.

My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!

Changing of the Guard

I recently wrote about Devin trying out for the competitive soccer team, The Crew, and what that means for True Potential. Well, with all the changes happening lately, I also noticed how Devin isn’t playing soccer in our fields with the neighborhood kids. For years, it’s been a nightly…

The OKC Memorial Marathon Experience – 2022

The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is like no other race I’ve ever experienced. I have run both the 5K and the Half Marathon over the past 5+ years and they both are such meaningful races. For those that don’t know, the OKC Memorial Marathon is a Run to Remember. Remembering the lives…

Happy Easter!

Our kids were in and out over the weekend. Some spending time with friends. Our two older boys were playing soccer. But we came together Sunday to celebrate Easter. And had a bit of fun with just a few (36!) colorful eggs! And of course, the innocent excitement of a child searching for all of…

Soccer 2022…So Far
