Some Thoughts on Augusta and Why Fort Gordon is the Army’s Best Kept Secret
I have been avoiding writing this post for a while now, mainly because I knew the emotions that it would stir and quite honestly, I’m already drained before this move has really even started. Before we left El Paso, I needed to memorialize our time there and encapsulate all of the blessings and lessons learned… Continue reading

May // A D V E N T U R E //
In 2017, I’m hunting the good stuff. I am setting aside the turmoil I see all around me and instead recording snapshots that will tell a story of fun, adventure, joy, and thankfulness. This is the story of my life and I’ll choose the tone and how I want to tell it; I do that daily with my… Continue reading

Six Year W.A.C.K.-a-Versary =)
Another year is under wraps! It’s really hard to wrap my mind around many things: first of all, that another full year of the Wood Academy is under our belts, second that we now officially have TWO middle schoolers, and finally, that our time in Georgia has come to an end. I frequently reflect upon… Continue reading

Location Independent
I have been in a funk lately. It’s actually a familiar funk that I revisit occasionally. I know that much of what has contributed to that has been the constant mental chatter about what I need to do as we prepare for our first of two moves this year. I’ve been trying my hardest to… Continue reading

February // A D V E N T U R E //
I don’t know about you, but I am nearly overwhelmed with all of the negativity, dissension, conflicting viewpoints, and division that seems to be threatening to overtake my heart and mind. This has been mounting for a while. With the current political climate AND the fact that 2017 promises to present our family with some… Continue reading

2016 Year in Review
Most years, I complete a sort of informal “annual report” for my life. I love to reflect upon the high and lows of the previous year. It helps me to digest some important lessons, put a finger on the pulse of my goals, and look ahead to the next year with anticipation and focus. 2015… Continue reading

Teachers Pay Teachers
Earlier during spring semester of this year, my Comp II students read a book called The Glass Castle. I knew the themes of self-preservation, self-reliance, and success beyond a familial influence of poverty and addiction would be perfect for my students. We compared the book’s characters and symbols to those from poems and short stories. We… Continue reading

The End of an Era (Again)
During the summer of 2015, I happened upon a UGA-System human resources page that had a link to a part-time English/Humanities position at a school I’d never even heard of. Without a lot of thought, I read the job description, uploaded a cover letter, my CV, and applied for the job. I don’t even… Continue reading

Earlier this summer I was contacted to do a video interview for Oxygen 365 and their podcast. Noel Meador, their CEO interviewed me about Mission Ready Marriage. You can watch the video here. Continue reading
