Whoa. It’s been way too long since I have posted! The weeks just seem to fly by… Anyway, this weekend was completely loaded. That’s the best word to describe it. A baby shower and a work day for my Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute class project. Could I pack more…

It’s hard to believe that its already been a week since I celebrated Christmas with my family! Because Christmas fell on a Tuesday this year we celebrated on Sunday, as some of my family had to work on Christmas Eve (lucky that wasn’t me!). I had a joyous time celebrating…
