My brother and sister are here, probably ruined by brother's day because he got a little sister. When I was born on Thanksgiving Day, my parents always said that they were going to name me Thankful Evermore.

We discussed a lot about different things that we can do, different things that we should do better, and different ideas that we need to consider as we are talking about how we rebuild our dream and reclaim our dream here. I think one key component that we have all put into practice here tonight that many […]
