How sure are you, were you, or will you be when it comes to making that lifelong commitment? We grow up looking at landmark ages like 25 and 30 as checkpoints where we'll take that big step, but life always has other plans. When you know, you know, and if there's one thing you'll be sure of when you hear this week's guest, it's that regardless of age, he knows. "I Love You. I Know." an episode title taken straight from the root of the source that started this journey between Lucas and Karla long ago in a galaxy far far away...

An episode for those struggling to take that leap of faith. If not now, when? Every chapter in your book is a new opportunity to learn something new, but at the end of it all, todo tiene su final.

Several members of the After The Storm Family share their favorite albums and songs of the year and I do by best to give make a Top 10 of each. One for the true music enthusiasts.
