I MARRIED ERIN IN 2018. IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. SURROUNDED BY OUR FAMILY AND CLOSEST FRIENDS, I’LL NEVER FORGET THE FEELING I FELT WHEN HOLDING HER HAND AT THE ALTER. IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
ERIN AND MY DEEP COMMITMENT TO LIVING LIFE GAVE US THE COURAGE TO QUIT OUR JOBS AND PACK UP OUR BEAUTIFUL HOME IN D.C. AND TRAVEL THE WORLD FOR A YEAR STARTING IN APRIL 2019. LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT WE WERE SEEING THE LAST VESTIGES OF A WORLD THAT WOULD SOON CHANGE DRAMATICALLY. OUR TRIP ENDED ON MARCH 11, RIGHT BEFORE THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC.
WE EMERGED FROM OUR TRAVELS CHANGED, HAVING GROWN TREMENDOUSLY FROM THE EXPERIENCE. I FOUND OUT THAT MY AMAZING WIFE ALLOWS ME SEE SOMEONE ELSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. AND NOW I FEEL LIKE I CAN SEE EVERYTHING.
BARS IS MY DAILY WRITING CHALLENGE. CONSISTENCY IS THE FIRST KEY.
