Happy birthday Hotdog (aka Samantha!)

Happiest of birthdays to my wonderful wife, Samantha. Aka Hotdog. (It’s a fun story)

Sami is the most amazing person I have ever met. She is caring, giving, thoughtful, creative, nurturing, inspiring, and also very funny, engaging and a leader. She the full package of a great person.

If you know her, you love her. As do I. And Chloe dog.

Let’s all wish Sami a wonderful birthday and many more!

I have not been below 210 in several years. I am very happy to see the progress. No crazy dieting, just consistent movement, good sleep, and eating like an adult 😆.

Started at 220 this summer. Had pretty bad knee pain. Got MRI and diagnosed with arthritis. I wanted to see if I could alleviate that with a little more movement. The plan worked 🙌

Now
47
209lb
Around 16-17 bf
Good amount of lean mass

Most important of all, less joint pain and avoided potential knee surgery for arthritis.

I still have to pinch myself that this actually happened. I had the great honor of being in Pavel’s book “The Quick and the Dead” with many fellow StrongFirst friends.

It’s a great book, awesome program and it’s helped a ton of people.

Plus there is an audio book, narrated by Pavel. Hearing him say “Sean Sewell, Colorado mountain man” is truly mind blowing 🤯 😎🙌

Tonight, 15 years ago, I asked Hotdog to marry me. My original plan was to ask her at Hanging Lake (really beautiful waterfalls here in Colorado), but they closed the area down (that day!) for summer renovations.

So….. I went to Backcountry Brewery and asked if they had any openings for dinner and a view of the fireworks.

They did not.

Then I mentioned that I hoped to ask my girlfriend to marry me that night. The manager said, “Heck yes, let’s do this!” then we went to the next level, and we set up quite a nice night!

He allowed me to hook up an iPod (remember those?!) to play our favorite song (Dave Matthews—You and Me) at 9 p.m., just as the fireworks went off over the marina. I had Sami’s best friend, her mother, and Sami’s mother in attendance. (Thank you for the support, ladies!!)

At dinner, I was so nervous that I only had a chicken wing. And several beers LOL. She said yes, the fireworks went off, our song played and we made a lot of new friends that night.

Thank you for the good memory and thousands more honey ❤️

I had the great honor of being interviewed for our community newsletter. I know I have shared how much Sami, Chloe and I LOVE our neighborhood, neighbors and new home a lot this last year, and I stand by that. This was really rewarding as I got to meet other entrepreneurs who also happen to be neighbors as well. Each of us supporting each other and our businesses.

Fun fact, our neighborhood earned best new community in the US, 3 times in 4 years. Among other awards. It’s that awesome. We always have a room to share if you are in town. 😊

Happy Heavenly 40th birthday to my brother, Matthew.

He was a kind and giving. He was high functioning special needs, but it did not stop him from finding joy in life. He embraced his abilities and enjoyed many activities.

He volunteered with my Mom, delivering food to patients at Littleton Hospital. Called bingo at assisted living centers. Walked dogs at vet clinics. Packaged up food at the food bank. He gave more than he took. His unconditional love for others was infectious.

When I am in the mountains, I think of him enjoying the experience with me. At night, I think of him then often see a shooting star. It is pretty incredible. But so was he.

Happy birthday Matt Matt ❤️
