I love the quiet moments that appear when you least expect them. Particularly when chaos is unfolding around you.

This will be my last year going out to Culver to visit the kids at camp. Ryan will be attending band camp next year just as Brooke is this year. During these summer visits, I try to meet up with Ross, my roommate when I was at Culver for high school. He…
