“So if you don’t have anyone to remember over Memorial Day weekend I’d like to share these three with you. Having them in our lives was a gift, losing them changed who we are forever. Grab your favorite drink, crank up the music, grill a big ol’ steak – and LIVE.
LIVE.
LIVE.
Live for Colby and Ryan and Ben. In the midst of your celebrating raise a glass, take a moment or say a prayer for the incredible people we have loved and lost. Be a little gentle with those of us who are tender hearted this weekend. Just…remember.” ❤️
Honored to partner with @healvets for #VigilforValor – a month-long virtual candlelight vigil in May to honor service members that have fallen in battle and military members who served honorably in war and fell victim to suicide later due to the invisible scars of combat. Never forgotten. 🇺🇸

Am I filming a reel of the @usnavyblueangels two days in a row? You bet your ass. 😉 Who needs a crowd when you have our dock and the best show in town year after year? 💙✈️

When you can’t get to the @usnavyblueangels practice so they are kind enough to just fly over your house. 💙

One of our favorite things about living on the Chesapeake Bay is the passion people have for celebrating and preserving all it has to offer. 🐟
@thesilverswanbaysideqam and @chesapeakechefs have started hosting monthly dinners with locally sourced food/drinks and last night was incredible!
Everything was cooked over a @cowboycauldron and paired with beer from a local brewery. 🍺
We met the most interesting people and had the most delicious food, if you live locally you MUST attend one of their dinners! What a great way to support the men and women who keep this community thriving. Can’t wait to go back!

A few weeks ago I told you some big changes were happening around here. So…say hello to our new roommates. 😉
These are our nephews from Florida. Young men who have been on their own since they were 18, who have hustled and scraped by and worked multiple jobs and long hours, who had no idea that real opportunity existed for them, who didn’t know a life outside the confines of the Florida Panhandle was waiting. Oh how their eyes (and ours) have been opened.
Some people in this country still believe that everyone has the same opportunities. That you should just pull yourself up by your bootstraps. That nothing matters but talent and determination. It just plain isn’t true. Where you live, your skin color, your upbringing, your educational opportunities, your finances – the list of ways that the scale isn’t balanced are endless. The stories the boys have told us have broken our hearts and infuriated us – and we can wring our hands and worry, or we can do something. So we’re doing something. But we’re not doing it alone.
From the moment we hatched this plan we have been overwhelmed with support from our friends and family. Just in the last week we’ve had a session about building resumes, introduced them to crabcakes, taught them about Google, spent time with family and connected them with mentors. This is their community now. This is where they will build their networks and make new friends and always have a home to come back to. From Gma who said yes to everything we’ve asked of her…
To @cocoandsoy who gave us a literal roadmap to help the boys familiarize themselves with this area.
To @storytelling_images (local friends if you need a photographer you must follow her!) for taking Lord under her wing and giving him a glimpse in to his dream career.
To our neighbors who welcomed them in with an impromptu beer and pizza party.
To our Navy babies for being willing to share their home away from home.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and we have the greatest village in the world. Here’s to a fresh start, a new outlook on life, and the chance for these young men to live their dreams. We can’t wait to share them with you. ❤️

This weekend was a little extra. 😉
If you saw my stories last week I asked the interweb’s advice for decorating our Easter table (custom blue ribbon for the win) and flew my nephew here to surprise my mom. Since then we’ve celebrated Easter with some of our favorite people and made some big life decisions that I can’t wait to share with you in a few weeks – in the meantime thanks to you, @lucy_grymes (placemats and vases), @michaelsstores (napkins and ribbon) @lindt_usa (bunnies) and @amazon (plates and tablecloths) for the fanciest Easter table yet. ❤️🐰🐣
