Happy 38th Birthday to me. 🥳
Just about a year ago, I bought a jump rope. I’ve never been good at jumping rope (or anything involving rhythm and coordination) but that was the point. I wanted to get better at being bad at stuff. Better at failing, at stumbling, at picking myself back up and getting on with it anyway. At first there was a lot of swearing. A lot of embarrassment. A lot of “good” days and “bad” days. But somewhere along the way, that rope and I became friends. And today, I celebrated my birthday with 38 straight minutes of tripping, stumbling, picking myself up and getting on with it. It wasn’t perfect, but it felt damn good.

Seven years in and we’re just getting started. I love you, @humphreyker. But you knew that.

Spending Christmas at @theranchatrockcreek was a very special and unforgettable experience. The photos don’t really do it justice, and they sort of make it seem like I went on a honeymoon with our dog. (Accurate.) The Ranch at Rock Creek
