Last month my husband bought me a new truck. Prior to getting it, I had only driven a truck twice, and have driven a small car for the past four years. It is definitely taking some getting use too in the driving department. One thing I have really enjoyed about this truck is the dashboard has... Continue Reading →
Imagine waiting. I don't mean one to two days or even a week or year, but decades. Imagine having the vision of where your going but not knowing how to get there.
