Ch Ch Changes
August 30th, 2012 LeeAnn The last four to five years have been an interesting journey for me, much of which I have documented on this blog. I turned forty-five this summer.

My Summer Vacation
July 31st, 2012 LeeAnn You may have noticed that I have not posted much lately. I do have an excuse. This summer has been crazy busy. Lets start with the crazy part.

April 11th, 2012 LeeAnn If I look back over the last eleven years, I see the consistency and presence of truly one of the most significant connections of my life.
