Excited

Picking Up Where We Left Off
Right before leaving for Michigan I got an e-mail from a friend from college. She and her family were planning to visit the Nashville area and she was hoping I would be in town. Thankfully for this circumstance my trip would end and bring me back befor…
Firsts

It’s Only 10:30
Today, I’m wearing blue jeans and a pink t-shirt.

I’m listening to the boys argue over what frogs say.
I’m looking at a vacuum that’s ready to make it’s mark in my living room.
