I was out last night getting drinks with Mike (you know him as MasstaaMike) and we were talking about how we’ve know each other since we were both 7. Coming up on 15 years. Mike is one of my oldest friends and I took something away from our conversation last night… we couldn’t help but realize something. Life. Gets. Better.
Wanted to keep that with me so much that I made a wallpaper for my phone. Hopefully a few of you can find use for it too.
Follow Mike’s blog. It never ceases to throw a smile on my face.

… and the dangerous summer is over.
And then begins… a new season.
Jaclyn has had this painting since I’ve known her. Every time I see it, it reminds me that I have hope. And recently it has been a reassurance of peace.
I found that peace wasn’t about winning the war… It was about fighting for the right side.
This is the final dangerous summer.
Take Back Your Life
I can’t be too long. I need to get back to the campfire.
I just wanted to share you all what it’s like to fall in love with your friends. Two of these guys are married. One is engaged. A few more like me are single. Some of them are heading to countries far away. Some call home somewhere on the California coast. Right now though, this is home. This is the stuff money can’t buy and no matter how hard you work, you can’t earn friends like this.
It’s a blessing. Not everyone gets a second chance.
If God Gave Gave You Another Chance, Would You Take Back Your Life?
I know I have. It made all the difference.
It just won’t be what you think.
You’ll be driving over the border between Arizona and California asking yourself why you’re alone only to realize every city you pass through, you have a group of friends who gave up a bit of themselves to watch you grow. You’ll realize that the highways aren’t the only thing that stitched together these towns but that there are people that played a part; that had a moment in your story where you were the farthest thing from alone.
I fell in love. I wasn’t what anyone ever told me it would be. But here I am.
Thank you everyone for making the final Dangerous Summer… well… dangerous.
This last month, all I want to do is say I love you to everyone. Thank you for being apart of my story.
This.
