Laters London
While it’s hard to believe, our 30-days in London has come to an end. I’ve realized, London is not my city, but I’m glad we came and spent the time exploring. Here’s a reflection on our time in London: Running I can’t say that I’ve…

What is Home?
The day before we left for England, we went back to our house one last time to drop off the remainder of our stuff for storage. On the way, Nolan said, “we’re going to Reid’s house, he’s taking care of it while we’re gone.” (Reid,…
