April 22, 2011

Happy Friday everyone! Tomorrow is my grandfather’s 90th birthday party, and Sunday is Easter, meaning I have a weekend full of family, friends, and food in front of me. You really can’t ask for much more. This quote has been on my mind lately; I am finding that there is a lot about life to [...]

Chicago, part 1

March 31, 2011
