This year would have been the big 6-0 for the best dad I could have ever asked for! No amount of time would have been enough, but I’m grateful for memories of and the upbringing from a funny, strong, loving father.

Our little niece nugget decided to come a little early yesterday! Congrats to my brother and his wife Kristin on becoming parents! I can’t wait to spoil the mess out of this girl. #niecenugget #nicunugget #babyZelda #legendinthemaking

Representing the United States of America: Kaitlin Akvan riding Huek Soel! This is her second of two runs, and she did fantastic on both! Target scores: 4 & 3 on a scale of 1-5 where 5 is a bullseye. So proud of my wife! #usa #whaf #culturalheritagerevivalproject #2019worldhorsearcherychampionships

Here is Kaitlin on Huek Soel during practice this week. And yes, she hit both of those targets 😉! #whaf #teamusa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #2019worldhorsearcherychampionships

Yesterday we took an opportunity to explore the gorgeous city of Sokcho-si. Soraksan National Park is genuinely one of our favorite places ever visited. How great is our God, to have created such beauty? Best date we’ve had in a long time! #soraksannationalpark #soraksan #southkorea #sokcho #ilovemywife

Today was horse selection day; we are both relieved and excited. Kaitlin was assigned one of her top choices - Huek Soel. He is a sweet horse and they will make a great team (as shown in the photos!). I am honored to be able to share this experience with my beautiful, talented wife and our USA team. I am proud of how hard they have worked to not only represent American talent well, but also our hospitality and kindness. Tomorrow the competition starts! #usa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #2019worldhorsearcherychampionships #whaf

More from today’s drills and practice! (And of course Kaitlin couldn’t help landing another 🎯) I love how dedicated and courageous she has been, despite being in unfamiliar territory, riding unfamiliar horses, and being immersed in unfamiliar culture. #Sokcho-si #teamusa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #worldhorsebackarcherychampionship2019

Day two of exercising and practicing the course. How ‘bout that bullseye! I’m so proud of Kaitlin and how quickly she’s adapting to the Korean setup/techniques. She is amazing to watch! #sokcho #teamusa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #worldhorsebackarcherychampionship2019

First day of testing out the horses and practicing the course went very well! And yes, that is a bullseye 🎯 courtesy of Kaitlin! #sokcho #teamusa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #worldhorsebackarcherychampionship2019

Next stop: Korea. We’re about to saddle up this pony and ride to Seoul for the 2019 World Horseback Archery Championships! I’m so proud of my wife Kaitlin for all her hard work and for following her dreams! Keep our team in your prayers for safe travels. #southkoreabound #teamusa #culturalheritagerevivalproject #worldhorsebackarcherychampionship2019

My wife has the most important job, and I’m so proud of her! Unfortunately, Beau Ty the cat cannot go with her to school.

My beautiful wife turned 29+1 yesterday! I love getting to be the one who celebrates her and shares life with her. She’s the best. Nothing I do or say could ever adequately express how special she is. I’m grateful that she has such great friends in her life. Thank you @lmchristian33 for baking her favorite cake! I’m sad we’re almost done eating it! #ilovemywife #happybirthday #30yearsgorgeous

My wife does amazing things. I’m so proud of her accomplishments this weekend and in her mounted archery career these past few years, but also (and maybe more so) for how she never lets anything interfere with the relationship between her and her horses. She is patient and kind to them, and they love and respect her for it. Next stop: South Korea! / #youdontbreakahorse #youbuildhim #kodathecolt #horsearchery #quarterhorses #risinggloryfarm #ilovemywife

One of the most important things my dad taught me was that after God, my wife and family come first. I’m thankful to have had a Dad that loved my mom well and would give up anything to serve his family. If I am even kind of good at being a husband or friend, it’s because he was the best at it before me. Miss you, dad! Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers out there killin’ it!

Got to hang out with our baby Kaiya today. No big deal, just the most adorable living creature to walk around on four legs. #babykaiya #kaiyathefilly #americanquarterhorse #btwweneedtocomeupwithanameforourfarmyall

Kaitlin and I welcomed the newest member of the herd late last night! It was such an exciting (and stressful) experience, and we’ve been enjoying witnessing God’s creation on our own little farm. Name to come soon! #itsagirl #filly #babyhorse #quarterhorse @gurl_for_christ

Not only did I get to celebrate the LORD’s resurrection yesterday, but we also celebrated 11 years together! God has given me more than I could ever deserve #dativersary #heisrisen #ilovemywife
