One of my favorite books that I ever read had to do with climbing Mount Everest, and now I can add another book to my favorites' list that also deals with overcoming the elements and pushing yourself to achieve a goal. This one is called I Promise Not To Suffer by Gail D. Storey, and she and her husband set out to challenge themselves by hiking the Pacific Crest Trail.

On one hand I am super sad I will not have little ones at home with me this school year, but on the other hand since I have a full-time job now it will definitely give me a quieter home to work from. I always knew I would be back to work by the time my youngest was in school all day, but those "baby years" sure did fly by fast. Heck, I haven't even … [Read more...]
