My friends and family are the type of people that are worth bending over backwards for. No, but literally…I actually bend over backwards for these people. As the Severs absolutely rocked the grand finale of the 2019 wedding season, I reflect back on all of the memories. I think about all of the beautiful venuesContinue reading “43: Bending over backwards”

“It’s a bummer that it went by so fast, but I’m just so happy to see them so happy.” With this line, Jordan perfectly summed up Casey and Mikey’s trip back to the East Coast. Whenever my little sister and her boyfriend visit, there’s always extra pep in the Janiec family step. The competitions tendContinue reading “42: Happy to see them happy”

It was a different chapter of our lives about a decade ago. We were 19, maybe a little brash, definitely creative, and arguably as fresh as “new linen.” But if you were to pick three kids from East Goshen Elementary to create a rap ensemble that would eventually land on BroBible.com’s “Top 100 up andContinue reading “41: Old Linen”

On Saturdays, I usually wake up to a “cooing” noise coming from the baby monitor. The coos signal that it’s time to brew some coffee, make a formula bottle, and head upstairs to see about a girl. I find a little bear named Charlie standing up in the corner of her crib, clutching the railing,Continue reading “40: The home you built”

Jade and Steve, Your wedding this weekend proved why this family is #BonderStrong. No matter what life throws at us, we always find a way to throw a party right back. Heading into this weekend, we all really needed something to celebrate. Saturday seemed like a particularly great day to have a great day. AndContinue reading “39: A great day for a great day”

On this day a year ago, Jordan and I were sitting through a nine hour course on “What to expect when you’re expecting” at Chester County Hospital. Meanwhile, back in Villanova, Jessi and Pete had their bags packed and ready to go into labor at any moment. Back in our garage sat an overpriced double-deckerContinue reading “38: Double Trouble”

John Wooden once said, “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” If that’s the case, when two of your best friends are Dani and Andrew Spinelli, the future couldn’t look any brighter. As I look back at their wedding weekend and forward at the rest of their lives together, a few thingsContinue reading “37: #ForEderSpinelli”

It’s the middle of a 2018 autumn afternoon, and Chris just got back to his East Village apartment from an Orange Theory Fitness class in Astor Place.  He’s getting ready to meet up with some friends at Bleecker Street Bar for the Penn State game.  After the game, Chris expects that he will most likelyContinue reading “36: The 5 rules of selling”

On our second wedding anniversary, as I reflect on the two amazing years that we just had together, I think about our vows. Perhaps I think about these vows so often because they’re hanging on the wall outside of our bedroom. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen the wedding video (shared below) so many times. ButContinue reading “35: Promises kept”

I’m home alone watching a baby and a dog on a beautiful summer weekend. What should I do? It’s a good time for a walk. Jordan and I just came home from a long day of work and we need to decompress. What should we do? It’s a good time for a walk. I’m meetingContinue reading “34: Time for a walk”
