It’s time for another peek behind the screen- lucky you! This week, I want to share with you the fun that we have been having in the Thomas household. In the last 10 days, we’ve had 2 busted toilets, an “aging dog”, a car in the shop, and been locked out of our house. The […]
Recently, the director of my department left. He earned a promotion and moved on to an incredible job. We were all sad to see him go, but as a team, we were excited at this new opportunity that he had been given. After he gave his notice, he spent the bulk of his time training […]
