We’ve made some sweet friends since we moved here. Which is going to make leaving here way harder than it already is. Andy and Sheryl came over for dinner with their little one the other day.

What was supposed to be a quick 5 hour trip turned out to be 7. But, we… Read More

Later, Amie and I met at the Oatsvall’s fundraising concert to help out before the doors opened. It was awesome to hang out with so many who are passionate about… Read More
