We've been having a lot of conversation about marriage lately so we decided to continue that conversation in front of you. We recently went to a marriage retreat so it has sparked a lot of interesting conversation between us. Why do marriages fail or succeed? What are the little details of the relationship that add up to a lot over time? This is a direction we are thinking of taking a more focused approach with. We want to speak with other couples about how they successfully navigate marriage and life. Marriage is not something anyone tries to teach you how to do. You get married and everyone just says good luck. Maybe we can change all that.

Jenna had a bout with depression a few years ago which led her to the doctor which, in turn, led to a Hashimoto's diagnosis. Unknowingly, many, many women suffer from Hashimoto's disease. It's a thyroid disorder. We talk about how it all happened. It affected our family which we'll discuss. Jenna is thankfully on the other side of it now and she will talk about handling that as well. 

About 15 months ago our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia. We started noticing she had difficulty reading in kindergarten and as she went into first grade things still weren't clicking. We wanted to help her and she wanted answers to why she was having trouble. Her diagnosis was actually a relief to her because she wanted to read and now she had a reason why she was having difficulties. She's made a TON of progress since her diagnosis. We've made adjustments in our homeschooling to accommodate her dyslexia and that's made a huge difference.
