Every year we hope for wintry weather when we make our annual trip to the mountains to get our Christmas tree – this year we might have gotten a little bit more than we bargained for. Earlier this week it the forecast called for highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s – somewhere…
Well its officially been forever since I have updated my blog. Its not that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind – countless times – its just that life has come up with far more pressing things that have kept me from doing so. JJ was actually harassing me about my facebook status – which says…
