Finally Some SWEETness
I’ve had multiple emails from people asking where the heck that I have been the last few days so I felt obligated to drop a quick line to celebrate the Pack’s return to the Sweet 16! I closed on the purchase of a new home on Friday afternoon and am scheduled to close on the […]
