Time it Takes to Read: 

[read_time]

Wow! What a wild October! Crazy things happened. Lots of them... I am very excited about all the craziness that happened and that I was able to do what we were able to do! I am excited where this direction of our lives are going (Sarah's and mine)! It's been a wild ride for certain, and while I know there are going to be hard times ahead of us it is kind of hard to not be positive in the moment!

Three Houses and Two Trucks

We set three houses in the last month, today being the last of them for "October." Sarah and I, each, got new vehicles! Thank you to my cousin Nikki who corresponded with us on that!  We had so much fun we didn't know what to do with. We also stressed a lot about our future and how we are to move on into the next decade of our life with new car payments. All the while the family was growing in their educations and athletics as well.

Sarah got a new Ford Explorer and I got a new F-150! Love them both, they are great vehicles! We are very Black and White with our vehicles!

The Kids

Bradley is still doing his guitar lessons, and is really getting good. Kenny is starting basketball for his second year and he has become an acolyte (Alter Boy) at church. Addison is growing up so quick and being her own little lady and wants to help us all out as much as she can! Oh did I mention that we bought (with help of Grandma and Grandpa Bechtol) little Kenny a new suit! This boy is growing up and is SO handsome! A swooner for certain!

Church

It was also put on my heart to stop putting Hebews off. HeBrews is a Bible study that I volunteered to lead with my friend Mike before the whole world was shut down. However; because of the way everything worked out we never got it going. I was able to get it all set up and we are now meeting tonight! Very excited to be the show-runner and to see where God takes this! I pray that God keeps me humble and helps me lead with nothing more than the desire to keep Him first!

Web Design

Within the web design world I am very close to putting to bed some big projects that I have been working on for a few years now, and am happy to report that they are coming to a close! Blue Byte has been still growing their web design side of things which I am blessed to be apart of this and work with them and continue to help them grow! Dad, Grumpy Grandpa, has grown as well and has been able to "hire" a tactician, of sorts, with Hogo! Hogo is the person that I will be doing a podcast with at some point. We have the format ready. Just need a consistent timeframe to make it happen!

What a Wild October!

What a whild October it was. We have been busy and busy and busy! We continue to move forward and make certain that our work continues to move forward! As always if you need something make sure to hit up the contact page. Until next time!

PEACE

Beyond Survival – Learning

Learning Importance to Veterans I didn’t set out to create a blog series on this topic. But after re-reading my last article, I realized something — this conversation is needed. The number of people who read it (or at least clicked on it) was higher than I expected....

What is Important to Veterans

I’ve got a question for you… and then a follow-up question. What is important? Why is it important to you? The answers to those questions will make immediate sense to some of you. To others, they’ll sound simple — maybe even obvious. But there’s a difference between...

Season 4: Episode 2: Civilians are Watching

Season 4: Episode 1: That’s Bullsh*t

We’re not starting Season 4 quietly. We’re not easing in with a polite “welcome back.” We’re kicking off 2026 with a full-throttle “that’s bullsh*t!” and we’re doing it the only way we know how — loud, honest, and unfiltered. Welcome to Common Veterans Season 4. This...
