    For those of you who know Joe, you know he is a very resourceful person. So it should come as no surprise to learn that he dug the gems for my engagement ring out of the ground. He had always wanted to make the ring his proposed with from scratch. Yes, SCRATCH. He wanted to Read more

  • The List

    Fun fact about me: I lead a bible study/small group of soon to be 9th grade girls.
