Family update
Vienna: 4 out of the last 6 nights she has only woken up 1 time. Holy joyous awesome…
Piper: Got home from a meeting w/a client and she was by herself in the kitchen grinning away, propped up on a stool, talking to herself, and washing dishes. Is that normal?
Sar + Josh: office for Josh has been taking up a lot of our focus. Converting the furnace room into our office. We’re spending a lot of time talking about how to improve our home
Another family we worship
Matt and Karen Langdon (from TheHeroCC.com) – pushing us to be purposeful about planning adventure (esp. through travel). We’re doing a 6-8 week Europe trip with them. They make sacrifices during the year in order to fund their yearly trips.
Main topic
Setting goals for your family: The Weekend of Coolness and Skulduggery
What are the themes?
Less is more – Electronics, meetings, weight, cluttered home, trips to the grocery store.
Create space – Physically at home, physically in the abs, and in the schedule
Equipping ourselves – Entertain others,
Overview of format. What our weekend looked like (esp. w/an 11 month old)
General Observations:
how we’ve grown since 2011… how the types of goals we’re setting today are different than they were 12 months ago… setting goals for our kids… being really honest with ourselves (esp. me… I don’t always like to admit to myself what I’m thinking)
Next episode
Sarah’s our guest! We talk about marriage, sex, and the root of adventure.

Guys, I’m just getting caught up on this podcast. Good stuff…I especially concur with Josh’s approach to buying minimal stuff but the stuff you do buy is excellent and a better product. We recently did that with an oven and dishwasher. As a good friend of mine once said, “it costs a lot to buy cheap.” Meaning that you will probably buy 2 or 3 cheap items that will end up costing more money (and frustration) in the long run.
