When I first walked into our basement, the most attractive feature in a sea of wood paneling were the built-in cabinets. They are well-constructed and a timeless style.

So, Mike is a NASCAR fan. Actually, the only one I know. And now I’m a NASCAR fan’s wife – something I never dreamed I’d be! Whatever kind of fan Mike is, I’m just proud to be his. 🙂 This past week, Mike turned 33. So, I hosted a birthday party for him. We had …
