Whether it's waiting for a career switch, or waiting for the right future spouse to come along, or waiting for the finances to get into a better home, or waiting for good news after a medical diagnosis, or waiting for the double line on the pregnancy test to appear,...
Typically, I send a letter with our Christmas photo each year, and since I didn’t this year I thought I would give a little update. Especially, since I…
The Christmas season is underway and for many of us, the time from Thanksgiving to New Years can quickly fill up with many activities, traditions, and get-togethers with family and friends. For some, this season is the most anticipated time of year and for others it...
