There are many times I forget why in heaven’s name we live in the desert. Those are the days when I can’t even think very straight since I’m just trying to keep from melting in the heat. But in the winter? That is when I remember. Right now we live in a wonderland I tell…

And I don’t think there could be a better team to…
Ok let’s get down to business and crank out a recap of January. We started out this brand new year with a little double date to the Fiesta Bowl with these two: Max and Abby were in Texas this Christmas, we missed them but got them before Christmas so we survived:) (The Fiesta bowl along…
