About a month or so ago, the infamous Victoria Secret Fashion Show was aired on television. It's a yearly event, and every year, it breaks my heart just a little bit more.

Beautiful Things
I've tried to write this blog several times... but I just can't find the words to truly describe how beautiful this picture is: To you, this looks like just a bunch of students crammed in a living room.

On Friday, my family and I experienced our last "first" without Mom (except major life events, of course). August 2, 2013 marked 1 year since Mom passed away. The one year anniversary marked several things for me :Mom has been FULLY healed for one whole year! How awesome is that?! Mom hasn't had to deal… Continue reading The Last “First.”
