My trip back to Omaha to visit family was a whirlwind of restaurant and bar hopping, trying to meet up with as many friends as possible, celebrating big family events, going into the office to work, (have to be able to afford these long-distance flights!), and making my family take photos both of and with […]
I have to tell you, I’m sitting here in a bit of a cold sweat right now imagining what kind of mom I might someday be if this is how very “extra” I am as a big sister and even as a daughter…. If you made it through all these images and are now reading […]
