“Sorry I didn’t call you back earlier. It was a bit of a busy day.” “What did you have going on?” “Just a few volunteer things but not a big deal.” “You downplay everything. Whose life did you change today?” “Yeah, right! Just a few things to help out. First, I […]

Josh was looking forward to facing Reese in the Santa Claus invitational swim meet. But when he found out his competitor had […]
Mike and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary last night. It was certainly not as momentous as renewing our vows last year at Delicate Arch in Utah (yes, that’s our family cheering at the base!), but it was something we will never forget. We were meeting our daughters, Rachel and Jennifer at […]
