Abundantly blessed

On Monday, I got to spend the day with my sweet friend Angie – we’ve been friends since college, were part of each others’ weddings and lived in Dallas at the same time – 12 years of wonderful memories. One day with her is never ever enough, but I’ll take what I can get!  We [...]
