    We've been reminded the hard way lately that, hard as we try, we just can't predict the way life will go.

In our marriage, Peyton's schedule as a firefighter makes him available to support me and the growth of the firm.

    The kids in our family range from 11 to 19 years old, and we've gotten a lot of questions from friends on how we manage our household so that our kids are as self-sufficient as possible before they leave for college.

    It’s so important to take make away with your significant other. Away from home, away from work, away from distractions.
