In my last writing, I shared the beginning of mine and Kim’s love story and ended it with our first date. Kim used to laugh and actuallyy laughed throughout our marriage about the fact that I was a such a creature of habit. Those that know me best, know that I am still a creature…

Today will be the first of several of several installments where I share about mine and Kim’s story of love, courtship, marriage, heartbreak and my personal journey through the process of losing my bride.

Today began the first of two days exploring Yellowstone National Park. First, huge thanks to Shane Kirby for being my tour guide. Shane has been a best friend of mine for many years and lives out here in Big Sky Country. Our day began in Jackson, WY. Jackson is a nice small town with a…

I have contemplated starting my blog back up after a long hiatus (Since 2020!) and I have decided that now is the time. What better time to start back than writing about Road Trip 2025 out West to visit Yellowstone, Glacier National Park and several other must see destinations. In addition to sharing over the…
