Our latest adventure had us packing up our bags and heading out to Los Angeles, where we walked through the sets of Friends at the Warner Brothers studio, made our daughter's day with Barbie props, and ended up at a Laker game out of the blue. But amidst all the fun, we found ourselves reflecting on the beautiful complexity of family life, the highs and lows of marriage, and the impact sports has on all of it. 

Our son Cash's love for baseball gets its well-deserved spotlight as we recount his exciting encounters with professional players and discuss the profound influence sports can have on young lives. But we don't shy away from the darker side, the obsessive fandom that can sometimes create a wedge in marriages. 

As we navigate the nuances of family dynamics, we underline the significance of investing in relationships over material possessions. We chew over the potential benefits of prioritizing family time over sports and how it could create a cycle of positive relationships for the coming generations. Wrapping up, we bring God into the picture and emphasize the crucial role faith plays in nurturing marriage and relationships in our prayer segment. So sit back, tune in, and join us on this heartfelt journey of love, faith, and family.
