May 20, 2010

Most of you know by now we are moving- to the country. (Which makes me an accidental country gal.) If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, I had a little meltdown over bandwidth out there, or lack of it really. After I picked myself back up again I realized, “Hey! I’m probably not the [...]
