My new job is keeping me busy along with renovating my sister in laws new home. We are near the end of the reno's and will be glad to have our weekends back.
Katie, you are fantastic keeping this going. With a little family and your job I appreicate the time you find to encourage others to share. Wtih knowledge we become stronger and can be empowered to make the right choices.
Vicko you are awesome and have come such a long way.
