Don’t forget family when giving back.

Life is all about balance.  As I finish a week of Spring Break I reminded to make time to have fun.  Today is the day I watch a movie, drive go carts, and eat a great dinner (Tara’s choice).  Remember to not only give back to your community and your friends, but also to yourContinue reading “Don’t forget family when giving back.”
