This year feels different in the best way possible.
Back in January, my wife, Chrisnetta, and I welcomed our daughter, Journey, into the world. Since then, life has been moving in a completely new rhythm.
Celebrating New Milestones
As new parents, we recently celebrated our very first Mother’s Day and now we’re preparing for our first Father’s Day. What makes this Father’s Day even more meaningful for me is that it also falls on my birthday this year — June 21st. I can honestly say there’s no greater gift than becoming a dad.
The Power of “First”
This season of life has reminded me how powerful the word “first” can be.
First time hearing her laugh.
First walks as a family.
First holidays with a child.
Gratitude for Motherhood
Watching Chrisnetta step into motherhood has been incredible. The patience, strength, and love she pours into Journey every single day make me appreciate her even more. Parenthood has brought new challenges, but it has also brought a deeper level of gratitude and perspective into our lives.
Finding Meaning in the Little Things
Anyone who has recently become a parent understands that the little things suddenly become the big things. A quiet moment holding your child. Falling asleep together on the couch. Watching family members meet your baby for the first time. Those are the moments that stay with you.
A Year to Remember
This year has truly been one of the most exciting and meaningful years of our lives — a year full of firsts, growth, and unforgettable memories.
