Before Rosalie was born, Leanne and I discussed the music our baby would listen to. Leanne wanted her to listen to softer, classical songs. I wanted to raise her right and teach her about grunge and alternative rock, with bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Sound Garden. Leanne wasn’t a fan of that idea. Early…

Rosalie is about to start walking
I’ll keep this week short. I’ve kinda taken a breather since I’ve been on the move these past couple of weeks. I’ve been working on some freelance projects that have taken up a lot of my time too. In Rosalie news, she’s about to start walking. Leanne picked up a free baby walker, and Rosalie…
The Birth of Rosalie
Let’s recap. Leanne and I first met in 2020. We re-connected in 2021. We got married in 2022. You know where this is going. In an ideal scenario, we would have met 10 years ago. We would have enjoyed our time together, by ourselves for a few years. I would have liked to have done…
The Wedding
In June of 2022, things were set in motion. It was a blur to me and I’m sure to Leanne too. As mentioned in the last blog post, we set the wedding date to October 8th of that same year. Less than 4 months to plan out a wedding. Luckily Leanne is a teacher and…
Our weekend in Texas
This past week, as I said, we were taking the train down to Ft. Worth, Texas to attend a wedding. I was able to write some but was not able to get the wedding post done. Instead, it’ll be an update on how our trip went. One post I have planned is a more detailed…
Brief update as we travel to Texas
In just a month of publishing The Wood Log, I’ve received kind words from friends and family. Thank you! It truly encourages me to continue writing. Which is why I’m writing this. I’m trying hard to make this a weekly post. This week’s post is a quick update as I continue writing the next one,…
The Proposal
A couple in their late thirties, eager to start a family, navigated relationship discussions, ultimately leading to a marriage proposal during a vacation at the Biltmore Mansion just ten months after dating.
How Leanne and I met. Part 2
We all remember 2020 well. It felt like a year that would never end, and it’s hard to believe it’s been over four years since. Like I said before, I was determined to make the most of this year. In January, I signed back up for all the dating apps after taking a 6-8 month…
How Leanne and I met. Part 1
With every couple, the question always follows, “How’d you two meet?” Well, it’s an interesting story. As I get ready to write this, I’m hesitant because I know everyone in my family may read this. Not that it’s embarrassing or I’m confessing things I’ve never said. It’s just a little awkward thinking about writing things…
Welcome to The Wood Log
Welcome to The Wood Log. A place for the Wood family to share anything and everything. As social media becomes harder and harder to use, not in a complicated way, but in a way that makes you wonder why you’re even spending time on such an evil platform, I’ve decided that maybe I should keep…
