    ‘ I am sorry to say that I don’t have a new blog to post for today as I spent about 12 hours in the hospital yesterday with my dad (his surgery lasted far longer than expected) and didn’t have time to write one.  🙁  But the good news is that my dad is doing…

    ‘ As I mentioned in Tuesday’s blog, this past weekend I headed up to Northern California to celebrate my final days of singlehood with a bachelorette party in San Francisco.  My friends Nat and Kylee planned the entire celebration and until I actually arrived at the party site, I had absolutely no idea of what…
