Day #21/365: I hope I’m not alone here; but for the past couple of days I feel like I’m spending a third of my waking hours moving snow from one spot to another spot. #January37th

Day #20/365: 25 years ago today, I prayed a very dangerous prayer: “God, whatever you want for my life, I want to be a part of it – and do whatever you have to do to make it happen.“ I’ve seen wondrous things and have, at times, been scared spitless. But what an adventure!

Day #17/365: The temp was in the single digits 15 years ago when I tucked my little girl under my coat and walked her over for her heart surgery. Just look at this kid now! Big thanks to the cardiovascular team at Children’s Hospital! #HeartDay

Day #16/365: When there’s oil in your coolant, it’s either replace the head gaskets for $5000 or this thing for $460. I am so grateful it was the latter and there was a good friend keeping me from hyperventilating. #ThankYouJames

Day #13/365: Julia getting in on the end-of-game huddle. She got to play today – taking it down the court, lining up and dropping one for two points in a close game. She knows what it means to be a contributor to the team – and everyone is better for it. #UnifiedBasketball 🏀
