The time is finally (almost) upon us: we’re headed home to California next month. I feel like even writing that line may jinx Tom’s progress, forcing us to stay here for longer than anticipated. The weather has been our enemy the past few weeks, with lots of clouds and storms during Tom’s flight period and… Continue reading Wrapping Up Alabama

February Parallels
I’ve never had particular feelings about February before; it’s kind of an in-between month, like when you’re 17, you’re more in-between-16-and-18 than actually 17. February is more of an in-between-the-new-year-and-the-start-of-spring month than anything really. Sure there’s Valentine’s Day, but I’ve never been a fan of that holiday anyway.

There has been so much change, monumental change, in such a short amount of time – yet somehow, change still isn’t coming quick enough. The… Continue reading On Soft Love
