One of the things we love about the listeners of this podcast is that you’re not all married. In this episode of #HowMarriedAreYou, we are specifically talking to those of you who are engaged to be married or plan to get married one day sooner or later. We reflect on our engagement process to share what we would have done differently, lessons we learned, and the things we would suggest everyone do when engaged and planning a wedding. It was such a long time ago, so let us know if we should do a part two! There may have been some things we left out. What specific topics did we not discuss that you would like to hear us talk about? If you are married, then share some wisdom from your engagement experience that you think our listeners need to know! Also, as you we shared in a previous podcast, our word for the year is “Celebrate!” January set the tone for a ton of celebration! One thing we’re celebrating is Glen’s nomination for a Shorty Award. To be nominated is such a huge honor in the world of social media. Beleaf in Fatherhood has been nominated for Content of the Year in the category of “Parenting/Family.” While it is an honor to be nominated, we’d be practicing false humility if we said it wouldn’t be an even greater honor to win. Your vote would be so appreciated! Please follow the link below to cast your vote! If this is something you really believe in, please share the opportunity to vote with everyone you know! Thank you so much! As always, we’re honored to have your ears and your attention! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Vote at the Shorty Awards Website!  We are now on YouTube!!!
