Not What he Signed up for

Day 5

What better time than on Fathers Day to pay tribute to the father of my children – my husband, best friend, and soon to be caretaker.

My boys spent every summer of their lives, through college, at the lake. So my last 20 plus summers have been more than enviable. Until now. Read More→

As I look back, it’s clear to me that it has been through the times of trial that I’ve experienced tremendous growth. For every tear I’ve cried, there has been a purpose and eventually a positive outcome. Read More→
