Change is difficult, but a necessary part of life, the only way for us to grow is for us to change! The past few months have been a great period of growth for Jen and I, but no matter how hard it got we persevered, because we knew if we stuck together and supported each other we could get through anything! Unfortunately it has caused me to neglect you (the readers) over the past month, but I hope you forgive me because I have a bunch of stories to share with you! Continue Reading…
