At this stage in my life, about to turn 35, the thing I enjoy most is a great day with my family. We like to explore the outdoors, go for walks, play at the park, visit with family… just about anything as long as we're all together. But...

The news I found out on Friday the 13th had the potential to be possibly the best news I've ever received! I got a phone call letting me know that the mandatory minimum sentencing we initially were seeking through Zachary's Law has a strong chance to become law! I can't begin to describe how incredible this is. We had to give out on our mandatory minimum sentenced back in October of 2012, because we hit a huge roadblock and our time was running out. You can read about it on our Zachary's Law page.

Some days seem to creep by while others fly. January was a little bit of both. Sitting here to write my January reflection, I feel like January passed like a speeding train. However I can think of a few days that I felt like I could hear the second hand ticking on the clock.

The 10th month of the Remembering Zachary Project was very special.

The holidays are such a time of joy and family. Everyone decorates their home, thinks of the perfect gifts they can buy for their loved ones, and finds times in their busy days to do special things with their loved ones. As I’m sure all kids do, my kiddos just light up when it’s the holiday time. I love watching them smile and count down the days of December in anticipation of Christmas morning.

Another month has passed and I continue to be humbled at the ways Zachary is being remembered.
