What I Love
Lately I have been thinking about things that I LOVE! The things that just bring joy to my life. I think it is easy to think about the things we hate (house cleaning, smoking) and spend our time focusing on them. Instead, I thought it would be fun really think about those things I LOVE…
Read More Final Days of Giving

Read More 36 is here!
So, I turned 36 on Friday. Where did I think I would be at 36 when I was 18 and dreaming about my future. I know I imagined I would be married and a mom. I know at 18 I imagined that I would be married to someone different than who I am now…and that’s…
Read More Determination!
On Saturday, as I was watching our sons play soccer and snapping photos, I noticed something that was very obvious to me. Their determination!
