So it’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a Friday Finish. My apologies! I’ve had a little bit more trouble with hotel internet than I normally do. Right now I’m enjoying a nice break from speaking, spending time in San Diego with my girlfriend. In just a few more days I begin 6 weeks […]
Last night I made dinner for my girlfriend and me. It wasn’t a complex dinner (I’ve made those in the past). Nope, this was a quick trip to Trader Joe’s to pick up a few different items. Dinner was fairly healthy and it tasted good. Still, I didn’t have to think much about it. I […]

I just spent a wonderful weekend with several family members at Disneyland. My girlfriend was also able to take the train up from her new home in San Diego. It was nice to see her. For the next year or so, we’re doing a long-distance relationship until I can relocate out to San Diego and […]
