We’ve had a few memorable New Year’s Eves over the years including a trip to Moose Jaw’s Temple Gardens Mineral Spa for NYE nearly a decade ago!
There’s no two ways about it – this has been one of the toughest years of our lives. Shea and I have dealt with a family member being diagnosed with, treated for, and living with all the fallout from a fairly serious form of cancer, numerous deaths of people who were connected to us – […]
