@isaacrochell I’m leaving my family to go on @goodmorningamerica and represent @garagedads That sentence is insane to even write. This thing has grown so quickly, had such an impact on my life, and I know it’s only the beginning. But weirdly, the biggest things I’m taking away from this week have nothing to do with GMA. A few things I learned this week… 1. Every interaction teaches you something. Good, bad, moves you forward, pulls you back. Take something from it and get better. 2. I somehow fell even more in love with my kids. When they’re born, you love them but you don’t even know them yet. Then you get to know them and the love just keeps getting deeper. I’m at a point now where that love almost hurts. I can’t really describe it. 3. My wife is incredibly sacrificial. I get to leave and do something really cool while she holds down the fort AND is literally the breadwinner in our family. It’s not always easy, but I’m unbelievably inspired by her. 4. Marriage and postpartum will make you feel every emotion possible. I posted about it this week and reading the responses was crazy because I felt a piece of almost every single one. It’s not all good. It’s not all bad. It’s a little bit of everything. I think that’s just marriage, especially in this season of life. Tomorrow I get to do one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. But the coolest part of my life will still be waiting for me at home.
