So we're back in Richmond after a relaxing time at Deep Creek Lake! We had a great time of rest and relaxation, but it's also nice to be back at home. It was so nice to get away, but I know that I can't escape my new reality forever, so I was sort of anxious to just get back home and face it after some time away.

Monday was the … [Read more...]
