Back To College at UMass

Last week, Dave and I went with Gabbie to move into UMass for sophomore year.

August 2024 – Month in Review

It’s the end of August, so it’s time to take a look back at this month in review. I can’t believe it’s been another month still wearing a boot for my ankle – the whole summer was spent healing this thing! Here’s a look back at August.
