About Us!

My name is Jennifer, but I go by Jenny or Jen. I've been married to my hubs, Bryan, for 24 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 minute that comes with now having 3 adult aged 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 17 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 entire family and for friends when they need it. 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, shoot guns, our kids and last but not least, me!

Our Oldest! 

Sydney is 22 years old and is a Senior in college. She displays the typical first born child traits: confident, independent, a natural leader, bossy. She is athletic and has played soccer for 16 years. As of March 2025 she is officially retired from soccer due to having her 5th, yes, 5th knee surgery. Two ACL tears, 2 clean out surgeries and 1 meniscus tear surgery. 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. These days she spends her time at the gym lifting weights instead of flying down the soccer field.

Our Middle! 

Jordyn is 20-years-old and Sophomore at UGA and although she is in her second year of college, she is technically a Junior 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. In August of 2025 she was accpeted into the pharmacy program at UGA, which she will begin in the fall of 2026. 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. She played soccer for 15 years and now captains a co-ed intruamural soccer team at school.

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 17-years-old and very entertaining. He is a Junior 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 a keeper for most of that time; however in August of 2025 he hung up his cleats and gloves. He recently started Jiu Jitsu and got his first job. Bryce was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at 3 weeks old and we have been kicking CF's ass since then!
