Did you know my hubby is my little brother?
Well, after yesterday’s post I thought I would do something a little lighter and tell you the story of how Lou and I met. I love this story. I was a Pi Phi at San Diego State and an SAE little sister. I lived in the Pi Phi house and was the pledge trainer….
What exactly does it mean to be “happy”?
