Awkward Phases
The past two weeks have been so crazy busy and yet slowly surreal. Both Christmas and New Years Eve are officially over. This is where I begin my annual introspection as I get ever so close day by day to January 20th. As of today after nearly a three month stint in therapy for my…

Grandpa’s
Two Saturdays ago Mom and I went to a baby shower. It was for a cousin and the paternal grandmother of this baby is my Dad’s first cousin. This was such a beautiful day and a wonderful celebration for these two families to welcome this baby before the birth. During this couple of hours I…

Going… Old School
Last Thursday our internet went on and off a few different times from noontime to sometime during the evening. When it came time to slow down for the night Mom had been asking me to put a movie on. So since our dumb television wasn’t acting as smart I decided to look through my DVD…

It’s Primary Day
Voting can be a very personal decision. It can also be strategical. Who do you want in the job and not want in a specific job or have the title of in this state? Sometimes it’s quite obvious and other times it’s really hard to choose one candidate. This year feels exactly like all of…
