Life & Family

Well, once again life is distracting me…preventing me from posting updates timely. I have not had a lot of time for anything on the computer lately other than necessities like email. (And even that tends to get backed up on the one account.) I will try to get everything in…because a LOT has happened. Me: Same […]

Well, Friday was…interesting. It brought some good news and some bad news. The bad? Brian got into a car accident. Thank God, he is fine. (Just a minor scratch/cut where the seat belt cut into his neck.) He was using my mini van though, and the car is a wreck. He got hit on the

The official date has also been set: March 24th. The plan as of now is that the tumor/mass is the priority. For those catching up, it
