Parenting Vs Podcast

We're planning a road trip through five western states--with our kids. There will be stressful moments. There will be beautiful moments. It's going to be an experience, and we're hoping it doesn't explode in our faces. Perhaps marriage is like this road trip.

Most of our episodes are all over the place, but this one takes the unicorn birthday cake. We're a hot mess of podcasters. I hope we not only make you feel awkward with our broadcasted bickering, but comfort you by letting you know it's okay to have tons of flaws.

We talk social media foot-in-your-mouth, our marriage through the lens of the enneagram, and learning to accept yourself... Enjoy!

So, math isn't our strong point. I think this is our 101st episode, but I don't want to check the math. We'll just say it IS our 101st episode. In this installment, we get deep into each other's thoughts, and what makes us tic.

We recently took a jet plane to Salt Lake City, then we got on a different plane that took us to Portland. In Portland, we met with friends and the Ocean. It was fun. This is about that experience. There is such a thing as an OVH. OVH is an acronym that means openly vulnerable husband. We talk about feelings and how men have them. And we talk about how we think we're going to deal with that... Her...

Random shit for the first half. More random shit the second half, but a bit more honest. Usual interruptions from kids. Join us in our joy and frustration. :)

Our city needs change, and we get discouraged all the time... We want to balance anger with things that are going wrong with willingness to do something to change it. We don't want to give up, and we don't want to become complacent. We love our town... It is frustrating when you're the butt of a crime joke. Good things are happening, though. People aren't okay with the way things are going.

It's been a while since we've recorded anything. There was a lot to catch up on, so here it is. Life is busy...it just is. Seems like when you see someone, and you ask how they're doing, they almost always say "busy". We're all busy I guess. So, there's that. Busy. There's also real life. Marriage is hard. Parenting is hard. Life is hard. We talk about it all the time, but it's nice to know we're...

We've recorded several minutes of podcast material, and several minutes of that is lost forever. The world is a better place because of it. But, there might be some gold in these minutes that survived. Thank your lucky iPhone stars, we're going to post it here. I hope you enjoy. Please laugh at us, not with us.

We went to New York. This is a podcast about our trip.

A whirlwind of a weekend... Our emotions are shot. We feel joy and happiness, stress, and anxiety all at once. We'll record a podcast, then.

We're watching soccer. Kids are crazy.

We're all over the place on this one...but that's our baseline. The Franciscan hotel was an Albuquerque landmark. Built in the 1920s and demolished in the 1970s, it was a pueblo deco style hotel on 6th and Central in Albuquerque. We wished it was still here...but at least there's a nice parking lot in it's place. We talked about moving and taking the plunge, and hard decisions in life. We talked a...

Remember those choose your adventure books? I do because mine were all Christian choose your adventure books and they all gave you choices between reading your Bible or drinking a wine cooler. I always chose the wine cooler because secretly I wanted to be bad. We didn't talk about the books in this episode, but we did recently watch Bandersnatch on Netflix and we are choosing our adventure in real...

Lorenzo doesn't know what's going on with his feelings. Maybe he'll never know. Lorenzo is typing this and feels weird typing in the 3rd person. ... ... That was awkward. Who reads the episode description anyway? We discuss technology and how it's impacting our lives. We discuss Christmas, and snow, feelings, and frustrations, apps, and so on. Kids interrupt. We bicker on air. The usual. Happy New...

Enneagram, AGAIN. It keeps coming up. It's who we are. We're trying to figure out ourselves, each other. Soccer. Being part of a community. It's all discussed. :)

We just want good science tattoos.

As we've said before, we're parents first. Laugh with us (or at us) as we attempt to record a podcast and parent at the same time.

We accidentally deleted half of this episode. Enjoy!

Lots and lots of pressures on us. Trying to figure those things out.

not athletic. not today.

Serious topics today, at least for a bit. Enjoy!

The Pixel 2 XL mic sucks. iPhone is the clear winner in the audio department. We did have fun recording this one. We discussed our favorite albums of all time. Please feel free to pass judgement on Lorenzo's choice of christian pop punk.

Super distracted, technology issues, kids barging in, shouting. The usual. Enjoy!

We talk about weird things as we try to figure this life out.
