The Strangest Dinner I Ever Had
We went to a restaurant here at Colonial Williamsburg and it was bizarre to say the least. The waitress was a little nutty and acted strange at times. It was funny, but by the end it was just straight weird. It was one of the experiences that bonds you as a family and creates memories…

Hard conversations
Tomorrow I am going to have that super serious conversation with the ex. I have already drafted my list of concerns and points I need to make. I actually feel really good about this conversation. Although I plan to use some of the same language from the healthy relationships program my dad and I did…
