I would say, I would acknowledge, I think there was a period of time just because we were in a fight, we were like, we're okay, we're okay, we're strong, we've got this, we've got this.
And as the fight has, you know, drug on for almost five years now, like the whole process, it has, I mean, I've realized, we've kind of realized that we can acknowledge that it has been hard or challenging and that it has put stress on our family life.
And just as we were average Americans raising young children, just trying to keep up, juggle normal life, and then this on the side, you know, this as well. And so it certainly has been a challenge, but I think it's, It has made all of us, including our children, grow through this whole process and strengthen us in ways that, I mean, if we're honest, life is uncomfortable at times.
It's challenging at times. But it is making us rise to, I think, a different level of working together and trusting each other that had we not gone through it, I don't think we would be as strong as we are or we're becoming today.
dead so many times over and we should have been crushed by the weight of this so many times over and then it's always been just enough and so we're confident however that comes it will come and she'll be safe forever i would say absolutely put our faith to the test and before you know before this period in our lives we were cruising right along and things were kind of going the way we expected it to go and this has brought us to the very end of ourselves where i mean like you
Way beyond us. Yeah, beyond us, like our personal capacity. And both of us are pretty hard workers and determined. And so, for the most part, we're able to accomplish whatever we put our minds to. But this process has been so much bigger than that, that it's made us more reliant on our faith. And because we realize that we are not capable of doing it.
Well, our kids will probably confiscate them.
It was one conversation. We were driving, it was a road trip somewhere. And you were talking about the risk and
2010.
We did. I was 11. I met him when I was 11, and he was 12, and just grew up together, family, friends, and eventually high school sweethearts. But, yeah, so we've pretty much known each other our whole life.
You know what? I have the head knowledge. I used to go to all his golf lessons when we were dating, but I cannot play golf to save my life. So I joined when he's gone into CrossFit. I joined him in CrossFit, so I had another way to keep up with him, but the golf course was not it. So I was the cheerleader. I would ride along and watch him play.
Communications and mass media. Okay. And photography.
Raising the kids.
Five kids.
It's loud.
Yes, I am. I am. So full-time stay-at-home mom. And there's never a dull moment. We have no wallflowers in our house. So they are all very big personalities and very confident. We joke that's the mass confidence that they just, they're all very confident and determined. And I mean, wonderful kids, but definitely they keep me on my toes.
Now they are.
Yes. Well, originally they were going to private school, but with all of the travel that was required with the litigation, we couldn't take them out of school that much. And also just for security concerns and everything, we decided to take them home three years ago. And so I never envisioned myself being a homeschool parent, but here we are. And it's been good. It's made us stronger as a family.
And I mean, you have to live with each other. You're around each other all day. So it's great conflict resolution and learning how to get along. And it's been a good process.
They do. I was surprised. They do. Probably because they know that once they get through their school, then they have more free time. So that's a pretty good motivation. But the older two play lacrosse, and then the younger three play soccer.
