My kids are growing up. They are trying to find who they are and want to be. One is confident and glides through life enjoying it – though is a little dramatic and emotional. One is struggling … with friends … with confidence … with focus … with attitude. Oh, it’s hard. I’ve been so […]
Utah got the first snowfall of the season. Ugg. Okay – so it was up at Snowbird… and it was only 2 inches. But still… this means winter is really coming. I better get my fill of Autumn – like fast.
