I’m a pretty lucky girl when it comes to friends. I’m still extremely close with about 20 of my sorority sisters from OSU.
I love these girls so much. They are hilarious, smart, genuine, honest, and just plain good humans! We talk just about every day in a group chat so we can keep in touch.

It was summertime in the early 1990s and Daniel Hobson, my nephew, was probably 5 or 6 years old.
His favorite movie was Sandlot. And I don’t mean it was his favorite movie, it was the only movie he ever watched. Over and over and over again.
