About Me

Hello, and welcome! My name is Daniel. 


I am married to a super awesome, amazing, incredible, beautiful, kind, ferociously loyal and protective, and inimitable woman. Her name is Emma. We met at Brigham Young University Idaho and married in 2012. In that time we have moved 7 times, lived in 3 states, had 4 children, made a drastic career change, and shared our story. She has been my rock through all of it. We are madly in love. We currently live in Utah where I work as a librarian.


We have 4 children. They are magical and utterly unpredictable. I love them. 



We are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You probably already guessed that by the squeaky clean pictures and the fact that we graduated from BYU-Idaho and live in Utah. 

 I bet you didn't guess that we are a Mixed Orientation Marriage (MOM). Yep. I'm an openly gay man who is an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and happily married to a woman. 

 And that's why this blog exists. To share my story, faith, opinions, daily life, and show that people like me really exist. That we are here. That we belong. We who are LGBTQ+ have a place in the Church. We have a role to play. We have an important work to do in the Kingdom of God that only we can accomplish. I want to add my voice to the many that have and are advocating to this end.

 DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions on this blog are strictly my own. They are not doctrine, policies, or stances of the Church nor are they a general representation of the LGBTQ+ community within the Church. Also, it is not my intention to tell others how they should live nor it is my intention to be looked at as the ideal in what choices an LGBTQ+ Church member should make or how they should live.

A Mother’s Day Tribute

Who is She? Who is She? That stood in the halls of the Gods Whose voice rang out with courage  To defend the Plan and the right  To choose progression over oppression Who is She? Who was God’s culminating creation  Remembered eternal truths  And partook of the fruit So that we might be Who is She? That spoke to an angel Became a chosen vessel And delivered Him in birth So that He could deliver us all  Who is She? Who was a sinner But recognized the Savior And offered her tears and hair To prepare Him for the cross Who is She? Who discovered the empty tomb Heard the angels proclaim His triumph Refused to leave without Him And was the first to see Him  Who is She? Who was the first transcriber  Gently peeled the tar and feathers Lost so many children  And gave her husband to Carthage  Who is She? Who loves despite betrayals Forgives and heals wounds Defends the v...

The Women in My Life

Last year I shared this truth spoken by Gordon B. Hinckley, former president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and shared it again just yesterday in honor of International Women's Day: "When the process of creation occurred, Jehovah, the Creator...divided the light from the darkness...then separated the land from the waters. There followed the creation of plant life, followed by the creation of animal life. Then came the creation of man, and culminating that act of divinity came the crowning act, the creation of woman." A good friend of mine shared this piece of art that touched me deeply, and I keep is saved on my phone. God's plan, the very existence of the human race, is impossible without women.  It was a woman, Eve, to understood that God's plan for His children could not come to fruition unless she and Adam ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  It was a woman, both a mother and Pharaoh's daughte...

Atwell Family Christmas Traditions

Christmas is a season FULL of tradition. Tradition is so important, because it brings people together. It provides opportunities to create memories. Traditions are an integral part of family culture, because it helps us feel a sense of belonging, safety, and love.  Growing up, both Emma and I spent Christmas with only our immediate families. We didn't travel to grandparents' homes or others. We didn't host or go to parties. Christmas was always a simple, small, intimate holiday spent at home with just my parents and siblings.  This tradition is something Emma and I have carried on with our family. We spent our very first Christmas in our 1-bedroom basement apartment. Just the two of us with our little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. We were between semesters at BYU-Idaho, and if you've ever been in Rexburg during the holidays it is practically a ghost town. All the students have gone home. Of the married students who lived in our complex we could have counted on one hand ...
