I know, it’s a hard job but someone has to do it right?

But I had a purpose. I was headed over to Panera to meet with Marketing Manager -Krista Moberg, The General Manager Jason Russell, and Stan Sears, Panera’s Bakery …read more

June 2 is my husband’s 49TH birthday. Yep. I am married to an old guy. An old HOT guy. And as you can see, he likes gifts.
Anyway. We have been married for 28 years and it has been awesome. Not that we didn’t have ups and downs like anyone else but the commitment that he has shown to me, and the kids, has been over and above what anyone can imagine.
