So Friday was the Jog-a-thon and lucky me, I got to be there! The temp job that I had been working ended two days before the big event. Talk about perfect timing! When I told Amara that I was going to be able to go she was so excited! “That’s great Grandma, because last year [...]

Amara’s First Design
Friday is the Jog-a-thon at Amara’s school. It is one of the big fund raisers that they do every year. They run the different ages at different times and it so much fun to watch. They blast loud music and the kids run around the big field. They have lots of volunteers to make sure [...]
