I am honestly not sure who is more excited about the CARS 2 movie coming out June 24, me or my son. Every time we watch the first movie I get a tad bit chocked up when Lightening McQueen throws the race to help The King finish the race. I also let out a little… [Read More]
Come Monday: The Night
I remember the day that I was accepted into graduate school more clearly than I should. You see, this was the day that my life changed forever. The day that the world stopped turning.
