It has been a while since we have done this, but we are bringing it back – that is, answering your burning questions! We tackle a variety of your questions today including how Jesse felt leaving his job as an attorney, which of us handles the bills and budgeting, how arguing between us pretty much always indicates a deeper issue, and our personalities.

We also reflect on how our personalities and interests are different and similar and how this has changed in 18 years of being married.  

In addition, we talk about what our dream vacation looks like and how having foster children has affected not only the children in our family but also our marriage. Like most things, it has had its ups and downs, but we feel blessed as we remind ourselves of our why.

We hope you enjoy another episode answering your burning questions. As always, if you have other questions or input after listening to a podcast episode, we'd love to hear from you!
