Windy Destruction
Tonight as the wind howled outside, we were inside enjoying a nice game with my parents before they take off in the morning. As we were enjoying the game, the wind decided to take a stab at our BBQ grill. There it went crashing down. It decided to pull a yard sale crash landing all…

Baby Shower Creations

After countless times getting together to “plan”, which always turned it to fun chatter time, we finally got everything planned out.

Update: No Snow
I don’t know if you remember, but back around November I was complaining about running in the snow. I did not know how I was going to work out my runs after it dumped outside. Well, the sad thing is….I haven’t had to. There is no snow. We did have it dump a couple times,…
