Change Ahead
I changed my blog design. It seemed only fitting for a year so filled with changes. What changes you ask? Ok, here’s a quick breakdown of the past year and a half: 2010: I graduate high school, move out of my house and start college in Orlando. 2011, in no particular order: Jeff joins the … Read more

Sarah Graves
September 26th. 1996. “Johnny Appleseed Day.” First of all, let me start of by saying that I just realized that Johnny Appleseed day is not a national holiday, and will probably never be unless we all ban together and lobby for yet another approved school absence. But, while we may have to live without it … Read more

What is it? 2010. So what, he’s gonna be… 17? Yeah. So 17 years ago, I don’t really remember it all that well. I had just turned two and I was really excited that I was an only child. I was also very confused as to why my mommy’s tummy was so big. Then, Josh … Read more
