Sahara played music for me during dinner. It was great! She started playing the clarinet in September 2013. She practiced for hours all that year and joined marching band the summer of 2014. The whole band practiced for hours and hours. My little girl has some real musical ability!

I ran away and married my high school sweetheart, and we just celebrated our 25th anniversary (I met him 28 years ago in algebra class my freshman year). He still falls asleep on me sometimes when we're watching tv... ...and his hair still smells soooooo good! I love you, Ted! "4ever and 4always"
