My Apologies...


Hey y'all... I'm sorry for not being very up-to-date at all with this here blog! I seem to drop things when I feel like more important things have been dropped. Blog posts and Facebook statuses just seem to no longer be important when there are so many friendships to keep up with here in Houston's First Ward.

So, let me take this short time to update you... Enjoy.
