We were young and ready to take on the world. Naive to think we knew what it was really going to take to be grown ups, but we sure as hell gonna to give it a shot. Not knowing where we would live to start our journey as a newly married couple, we planned a […]
Many people have been asking me to write this post, but honestly I have not known where to start. First there is the clinical side of the story. That is the timeline marking minute by minute the chain of events that unfolded on Friday June 12 and turned into a scary and heroic rescue resulting […]
It’s a typical work day on tybee. We got home at 2:07 am. Sean just finished his last set at the Sandbar after hosting open mic as he belted out Guardian Angel to the packed bar. I log in 6 hours of sleep and wake up to my preprogrammed pot of hot coffee. As I […]
A layer of clouds cover the island this morning. Not dark clouds, just white peaceful clouds. A little bit of light blue peeking through but not enough to guarantee a beach day. I am planning my day. Editing, marketing, a sunset photoshoot tonight, Sean hosting open mic at Tybee Social club this evening. It’ll be […]

Going off island is rather an event at our house. Usually at least one of the girls will ask to go with us, as they want to stop by a store or pick something up that is not available on this clump of Tybee sand. About a week ago, I had a few errands to […]
Summer mornings on Tybee. Warm yellow and pink hues bounce off of my walls on the mornings I sleep in past 7:05. Placing each foot on the floor as I fumble to find my glasses.
