“We met online in 2009, and were married on August 27th, 2011. We wanted to start a family soon after. We tried the old fashion way, but a little less than a year into it, we decided that wasn’t working. We saw a specialist, who suggested we tried IUI’s. From November of 2012 to September […]

“Ten years ago, when my son Joey was 16, he was in a car accident. He was hit head on, by a 7th time drunk driver, who was driving on the wrong side of the road. He shattered his femur. The first ER doctor thought he was going to have to amputate his leg. We […]

“On July 23rd, we welcomed our son Jordan into the world. Shortly after, our 2 year old daughter Audriana wasn’t feeling well. We thought maybe she was being behavioral, because things were changing.

“I was kind of shy in high school. I was not confident in sports. I was in the band and on the speech team. What really changed for me, was when I got into medical school, one of my roommates was a speed skater. He trained all the time. He was actually in 4 Olympics […]

“When we started dating, I was 77 and Lee was 79. We both said maybe we can get 10 years together. Well, 6 are gone already and we want more. We just seem to have a lot of common interests. We never argue. We are always listening to each other and it seems like we […]

“The night of July 3rd, 2012 I was out drinking after bar close. Me and some friends went out on their boat. We went out to Long Island, which is right next to Madeline Island. It’s super shallow, really far out. We were just hanging out and being kind of ridiculous at 2 in the […]

“I’m getting to the point where I don’t have an inherent trust in my body like I did when I was younger. For a 31 year old, I feel like my body is maybe like a 45 year old. I have a pretty melancholic disposition, so it’s really easy for me to just feel that […]
