Fulfilling

Today was a fulfilling day.

Today I began to understand that while I can't do everything, there are some things I can do decently. And that means a lot to me.

Many of us work ourselves to the bone each and every day. Sometimes we get home and we just need to cry, scream into a pillow, and let it all out. Sometimes we make the drive home in silence, recounting the day, moment by moment, thankful to have had the opportunity to make a difference, an impact, on ourselves and those around us.

Once you embed intention into your every action, there's no going back. As I sit here and let the tears of joy roll down my face as I type and struggle to find the words to express how I feel in this moment, I am thankful. So thankful.

Today was a fulfilling day. One I will remember for years to come.

Blog Name Change

I recently changed the name of my blog from stevenevens.me to evens.co . The change is slight, but recognizes that I'm no longer a one-man operation - I'm now part of a team. As life changes, so will this blog. And while I've sometimes struggled in finding topics about which to write, marriage brings an abundance of noteworthy and varied ideas. Hopefully, I'll have a few photos to share from the wedding in a few weeks, but until then, I've put together a rough outline of things I intend to write about. Feel free to send any additional suggestions to steven@evens.co . Marriage and Finances Marriage and Work Marriage and Health Marriage and Family Marriage and Friends Marriage and Personal Hobbies

Having Dogs

As a kid, I'd never had a pet. The idea of having an animal roam about your home felt like a silly concept and a wasteful use of time and resources. Over the last few years with our two dogs, Sophie and Khloe, I've found enlightenment. Our dogs give us a lot of joy and companionship, particularly when either Caity or I would otherwise be home alone due to our work schedules or other outside commitments.  To end in the most cliché of ways – I couldn't imagine our life without our two furry family members.
