I’m staring at the blank word document on my computer and wondering what I should write about. The last blog I sent you asked you to talk to God about our big Christmas party, so maybe I should start there. It was an eventful evening. During the day Reebok and I kept [...]
I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season! The month of December has definitely been the craziest thus far for me. We have had a packed schedule full of holiday parties with every person we have met and some new friends that just showed up.
