Hi Everyone! This previous weekend Fish was supposed to be in Dallas for a mini-vacation to celebrate her best-friend’s birthday. As you can predict right now, the corona virus cancelled that plan and the rest of the plans we had for the next two months since we are self-isolating ourselves. These last two weeks have been incredibly stressful for everyone, but since Fish is a nurse, they have been extremely challenging on her physical and emotional health. ...

Often times when I feel stressed or frustrated, I turn to poetry to express what I am feeling. The thought of this poem came to me nearly a year ago as I was in the process of leaving my full-time job. I finally decided to sit down and write this poem last summer when I decided to pursue graduate school. At first this poem meant to serve as my personal statement of purpose. ...

At the moment Fish was starting to get into watercolor paintings and we went out and got her some supplies so she could paint some cool stuff. ...

Two and a half years. That is how long it has been since I’ve had my last haircut. My wife and I were visiting our best friend for Labor Day weekend. At this point, I was starting to grow out my hair, but by wife and I agreed that I would cut my hair for our wedding, which was about a week out, and I wouldn’t have that awkward hair length for our wedding pictures. ...

So a little back story. During the Spring of 2017 I was pondering what I wanted to get Fish for her birthday present. I had already convince myself I wanted to make her something, but I was not quite sure what specifically I could make her that would blow her away. Do I build her some cool DIY project for her to use around the house or do I use one of my artistic talents to create something for her? ...
