Sigh...
Today is my baby girl’s last day of elementary school. It seems like just last year that I was crying in my car after dropping her off for her first day of kindergarten! Now she’ll be a 5th grader… wow.

2 Year Anniversary of Joplin Tornado, Facing the...
Here it is 2 years from Joplin’s EF-5 tornado, a day that Southwest Missourians will never forget. Driving through the streets soon after the storm, it was truly a wonder that the death toll wasn’t much higher than it was. It was complete devastation.

Bleh
I hate it when I follow someone on Tumblr who looks like they post interesting stuff, but then they end up posting stupid crap like nip slips or obsessive celebrity fan GIFs.
