News #1 - We're having a boy join our family in February! We're super excited and everything is looking good as far as development. I'm still feeling well and I'm grateful for easy pregnancies.

News #2 - My mom just got married to Craig Evans. They really make each other happy. I will introduce him more later.

News #3 - I started a business and have had lots of fun learning new things. More about it coming later once it's up and running.
