Coming to you from Manchester, NH, Good Morning! For those of you keeping score, yes, I have eaten my words. I was NEVER coming to Manchester. I was NEVER going to FIRST headquarters. We arrived in Manchester on Friday, January 3rd and we went to FIRST headquarters about 20 minutes after getting into town. What … 4 More Sleeps!
It has been a while and for that you have my apologies. Over the past couple weeks I have worked to stay present and soak up the familiar. It has been wonderful to be places that we know and surrounded by our loved ones. What I did not expect is that with each passing day … Back Home in Indiana and Missouri
So, its been a while………………….I am still here, promise! We have been in Gulf Shores, AL for almost a week now and we will be here until Tuesday.
