Don't let people…

I hope all of Adam’s girlfriends get access to this at some point. Adam and I grew up putting on plays together at family functions… one particular time, during The Lion King’s peak popularity, we decided to do a few song and dance numbers for the Thanksgiving show.

You are never too old…

…to set another goal or to dream a new dream. – C.S. Lewis. It’s so simple and therefore incredibly timeless… if something can be ‘incredibly’ timeless.  I look this and since I know the subject, can vouch that it is her… not overdone, relaxed and brave yet warm eyes.  This is one of my first...
