Sam Officially Moved Back Home This week was pretty packed for us. As I mentioned before, Sam graduated from college in four years and officially moved back home on Monday, which was great. We were excited to have him back at the house again, but at the same time, it is funny how quickly you …

A Long Flight That Sets the Tone We were still in Korea this week, finishing up our anniversary trip, and the first thing that has to be said is this. The flight is no joke. It is long going there and just as long coming back. Neither of us really slept much in either direction, …

A Long Flight and an Unexpected Start Getting to Korea was not easy. It was a long flight, the kind where you start questioning your life choices halfway through. But once we landed, everything shifted pretty quickly. We were part of a tour, but not the kind you might expect. Instead of a big group, …

When a “Short Week” Isn’t Really Short Some weeks look short on paper. This one did. But in reality, it felt rushed from the start. Coming off time away and knowing another trip was right around the corner created pressure to fit everything into a few days. There was no easing into the week. It …

Every year, we do something a little different. We take some of our top-performing attorneys and their spouses on a trip. It is not always a cruise. Sometimes it is a resort or another destination. But one thing stays the same. The team votes, and we go where they choose. This year, the choice was …

The Week Before Everything Stops The week leading up to a major trip is never quiet. It is not just about packing bags or confirming travel. It is about making sure everything continues running while you are gone. This week was about finishing what had already started. The office move from the prior week still …

Last week started like any other busy stretch. The schedule was full, the Peachtree City office was moving fast, and everything needed to get done before heading out of town. The plan was simple. Fly out early Thursday morning, handle the meeting, and be back by Friday. That one change in routine set everything off. …

A Slower Week Than Expected Last week was not dramatic. It was not chaotic. It was just slower. Holly got sick after the concert we went to the week before. By Monday or Tuesday, she was clearly not feeling great. It started with a cough, then turned into one of those lingering, low energy sicknesses …

A Week That Moved Faster Than It Should Have This week felt routine on the surface. Nothing huge. No major milestone. No big dramatic moment. But it moved fast. I think part of that was being at a business conference most of the week. When you’re in conference mode, your days are scheduled in blocks. …

Two Focused Days in Charlotte Some weeks feel routine on the surface. Meetings. Travel. Workouts. Family dinners. But when you step back and look at it, there is usually more going on than you realize. This past week was a mix of strategy sessions, nostalgia, small acts of service, a strange scene in the yard, …

The Comic That Deserves a Trophy Case We just wrapped up Noah’s birthday, and now Sam’s is around the corner in March. That means gift brainstorming is in full swing. Sam’s still all about comics—he’s deep in that superhero world—and this year, he asked if we could get one of his favorite issues CGC graded. …

Winter Weather Wreaks Havoc (Again) This past week was a reminder of just how unpredictable Southern winters can be. Snow and ice hit both North Carolina and Georgia, though the impacts were very different depending on where you were. Our Peachtree City office? Cold but manageable, just a light dusting, nothing that stuck. Being on …
