Dixie Cups Man!
Learning to be a father and husband is a real struggle. Trying to figure yourself out while you are trying to figure out the women you love is a real confusing time. My wife and I got together in our early twenties. At that point in time the only thing I knew about relationships was the vision my parents had provided me. You eventually learn that what you see from the sample your parents give you is not the whole picture. Growing up when dad spoke, we all listened. Dad was the man of the house and if he said it wasn’t happening, it wasn’t happening. When he said something…

The Blessings Of Unity By Richard T. Case
The day is still fresh in my mind. It was a rainy March 30, 2002, when I said, “I do. I do in sickness and health, till death do us part.” 14 years later, we are still going strong, and I love DadJonz more each day. If you’re a regular reader or if you checked out my bio, you already know we are a Navy family. That means we move A LOT and that I meet A LOT of families.

I Love You But I Don’t Always Like You
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Oh, DadJonz is on one today. I just told him, “I love you, but I don’t always like you!” My husband is my sound of reason, but sometimes I just need him to nod and smile. Just nod and smile dude. Nope, he couldn’t do it today. He had to give me his two cents. He is right in all aspects of the discussion, but I didn’t want to hear it today. It’s Mother’s Day weekend, tell me you need a few days to process the 100 miles a minute, 10,000 words I just said. Instead, he gave me his sideways look, palm to forehead,…
