First off, I want to apologize for not writing the last few weeks. My family and I have been dealing with the rapid decline of my grandmother’s health followed by her unexpectedly quick passing. It is the first family death I have had to deal with in the “adult” world being away from my family, Continue reading

I am not sure if any of you know this but Avery is obsessed with tigers. I mean obsessed. All the way back in high school he started saying that one day he would own a tiger. The reasons he gives are plentiful; they are awesome, they are soft, they are better than any attack dog Continue reading

With that said, I have learned so much more about myself, Avery, and our relationship than I thought possible. Here are the Continue reading
