Back in 1996, I had the pleasure of meeting the boys’ godfather. We were on the same dorm floor. Even though his ex-girlfriend was my roommate, our friendship remained. After I met my husband, they also became friends. When the boys were born in 2003 and 2005, we made the decision to have Dave, our…

Before the boys were born, I went white water rafting twice. Both times, we camped out with the Scouts Venturing post. Imagine a camping site located in a valley. Then there was a torrential rainstorm. So what do you think happened? The water pooled into my tent. Oh, I forgot to give you one piece…

This summer has been a different type of summer. The boys are getting older so there wasn’t very many day trips. Let’s take that back – We’ve done day trip. I’ve done some road trips with each of them individually. The Memorial Day tornadoes change the dynamics of my summer. Even though it didn’t directly…
