No Small Change (except when there is)

So if you’ve happened to hear my rock climbing story, there is a decent chance you’ve seen my 8th grade yearbook and the photo of me playing volleyball. I always highlight the volleyball picture.

The Chocolate Bar

So my wedding is quickly approaching (May 26th for those of you playing along at home). Almost all aspects are now planned and I’m pretty much in the home stretch, except for the standard diet and exercise that goes along with a wedding. First, I must say that my fiancee likes me just the way […]
