I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.

Yesterday was your birthday, you would have been 24 yrs old. I missed celebrating your birthday with you, but I know that you were there in spirit. We took Faith, Gary, Veronica and Roman out for brunch to celebrate life. When your dad and I look at your sister and Roman we can see so much of you in them. You and your sister had this funny way of looking at us when we said someth...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
There was once a 17 year old girl who fell head over heals with a man who was 19. They were inseperable. To the world, they were known as one, as they got married the day after her 17th birthday.

For the first time in a long time, I have a wonderful update. The house we’ve been looking at and thought we lost to another buyer fell back into our laps this morning. As of 5:00 PM EST, it will be a done deal and I will have a place of my own. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I’m excited to see something good happen and my life beginning to turn aroun...2 Recommendations6 Comments
