About Us!

My name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenny or Jen. I've been married to my hubs, Bryan, for 23 years. We have been blessed with 3 amazing children, one of which has cystic fibrosis. We have great family and friends supporting us. We love our life together and enjoy every crazy minute that comes with having 3 kids. Oddly enough big kids keep you just as busy, if not busier than when they were little. I originally started this blog as a way to communicate with our family and friends after the birth of our son who has CF, but over the last 16 years it has morphed into my own personal journal of our family life. I still use this blog as a way to communicate about Bryce's CF, but mostly you will find stories of our life as a busy family of 5.

In my "free" time I love taking photos of my kids. I am self-taught and currently shoot on a Canon R6. Sometimes my pictures come out fabulous and other times they aren't great. Sometimes people even pay me to take photos for them. I truly enjoy photography.  

My handsome hubs, Bryan.

He's pretty much my favorite person ever. I believe in love at first sight because that is about all it took for me to know he was the one. True story! Bryan is a real laid back guy and I'm totally opposite so we balance each other out. Bryan is a teacher and also runs his own beach volleyball club called Southern Select Sand or S3 for short. Up until April 2017 he was the head varsity coach at Pope High School, but he stepped down to focus on growing his beach club. He lead the Pope High School volleyball team to 3 consecutive state championships (2009, 2010, 2011). In 2020 Bryan came back to coaching high school volleyball and is the head coach at Etowah High School. He loves to cheer on the Georgia Bulldogs, take naps, play golf, coach indoor and beach volleyball, shooting guns, our kids and last but not least, me!

Our Oldest! 

Sydney is 21 years old and is a Junior in college. She displays the typical first born child traits: confident, independent, a natural leader, bossy. She is athletic and has been playing soccer for 15 years. Sadly the last two seasons of her club/high school seasons didn't go as planned; two ACL injuries. One on each knee. She worked hard to rehab those knees and is happily playing on the club soccer team at UNG. The upside to tearing two ACLs back to back is she discovered a passion for physical therapy so that's what she is studying at school.

Our Middle! 

Jordyn is 19-years-old and is a Freshman at UGA and although she is in her first year of college, she is technically a Sophomore thanks to full time dual enrolling her Senior year of high school. She is studying pharmaeutical sciences and as of right now is interested in the research side of things. She is fantastic artist and is extremely funny! She is genuinely a sweet girl and very compassionate towards others, but also has quite the feisty side when needed.

The Boy (Baby)!

God must have known our family needed a boy and He delivered in a big way. Bryce has been shaking things up since the day he was born. Bryce is 16-years-old and very entertaining. He is a Sophomore in high school. He is a friend to all and accepts anyone and everyone. He started playing soccer in hopes of releasing some of that energy when he was 5-years-old. He has been playing ever since as a keeper and he's pretty darn good. Bryce was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 3 weeks old - caught by the state's newborn screening. The news came as a complete shock to our family. Bryan and I had no idea we were carriers as there is no family history for either of us. I didn't even know what CF was until the day Bryce was diagnosed.
