And the winner is....

My dad!
Because I'm super fancy I threw each entrant's name into a hat and drew.
So dad...you are the winner!
I'll get you your peanut butter asap!

And now to my Monday interview.

My inaugural interviewee is.....drum roll please.....my husband, Matt!


What one thing (not person) in your life MUST you have everyday?
In the last two weeks, I’d say a donut. Otherwise, I feel like I’m lost if I don’t read a newspaper every day.

If you could wake whenever you want, what time would you hop out of bed?
5:30-6:00

And go to sleep?
8:30-9:30

You have an extra $200 to drop. On what would you spend it?
Is the right answer my wife? If not, how about golf lessons?

You have an obvious love for Iowa State and Kramer’s meat products. Which would you give up if forced?
Either will probably kill me at some point, but if I had to give up one, it’d be Kramer’s. Kramer’s I can only eat so much of. I can never have enough Iowa State.





What is your favorite part of being a father?
Watching my kids learn something new and seeing them have the most genuine emotions possible.









Your least favorite?
Not being able to simply fix everything that goes wrong for them.

What is your favorite part of being a husband?
Having someone to share moments with.

And the least? (BE CAREFUL!)
Being forced to eat vegetables.

Why did you choose to become an attorney?
I wanted a job I could do around La Porte City. One that would give me the potential to control the type of schedule and income I wanted to work and one that involved working with people rather than machines.

My favorite magazine ever is Domino. But it is no longer in publication. So my new fav is Real Simple. Below are a couple of ‘girly’ questions from recent Real Simple editions. What are your responses?



How do you make time for what matters most?
If it’s a priority, there’s always time. The only things you don’t make time for are things that aren’t priorities.

How do you declutter your living space?
Throw stuff away (duh!)

Thanks for playing, Matt!

The dark day of June 27th...

 June 12, 2023 We typically don't share a lot of updates about Kate's health, primarily because she wants to remain "a normal teenager." However, we still get asked how Kate is doing and I started thinking maybe it's okay to share updates now and again. Most people care about her and our family, some others could maybe be labeled as "tragedy junkies," but I'm going to operate under the assumption that most people have the best of intentions.  Today is June 12th and we are quickly approaching the dreaded dark day of June 27th. Have you watched, "Gilmore Girls?" It's a witty, comforting television show from the early 2000's. In it one of the main characters has what is dubbed, "a dark day." This is a day the character dreads each year and in response he goes into hiding from the world with no communication. Well for Kate, and the rest of us to some degree, the dark day of the year is June 27th and that date is closing in on

The other side of the dark day...

 Kate's dark day of Jun 27th came and went like any other day. Kate swam 100 fly in the Independence meet and finished 1st (she was the only swimmer in her age group to sign up, but who cares about details) and then she and Matt hopped in the car to drive up to Rochester for next-day appointments. The worst part of Kate's dark day was probably Matt trying out the Grimace meal at McDonald's. It was death by milkshake and yet he drank the whole thing. Can't let food go to waste, or something.  We braved June 27th with dread and came out on the other side. We enter year three into the cancer life. Two years of appointments, scans, blood draws, IVs, endless chemotherapies, daily medications. It is difficult to remember life before all of this, when Kate was able to get up at 6 a.m. to swim, play basketball, ride her bike, go to school and chase her sisters. We've all adapted even though no one wants to. Hand to God I keep hoping to have a tantrum and wake up from whatev

October things...

It has not been the easiest October on record. Kate had a couple of hospital visits to Rochester but she is somewhat better at the moment. She continues with chemotherapy and has not been back to school for quite some time but she is doing her best to set aside time for online school work between naps, loving on cats, and hanging out with her family. I was able to get the girls to visit their great grandma in western Iowa a few weeks back. Here's Claudia shortly after arriving at great grandma's house. She is very into jewelry and lots of it. Grandma had several questions for her about the number of bracelets and thankfully Claudia loves talking about them. Many she has made, some were gifted to her...it's a lovely hodgepodge of middle school girl goodies. Clearly the girls and I were blessed with height genes from relatives not named great grandma. We spent time relaxing, taking four wheeler rides, eating candy and we also received a visit from my aunt and uncle. Aunt Deb
