I did not lose all hope when it was announced that Donald Trump would be the 45th president. I wasn’t happy about it, and honestly if Hillary Clinton would have won I’d feel the same way; however I was kind of looking forward to having our first “First Gentleman.” With […]

Does anyone else feel homesick, or is it just me? I honestly don’t know what it is but I just want to be home with my family, especially this time of the year. I miss my mom, my nephew and most of all my grandma. She passed away last year […]
