Ink
Hayley has been begging for a tattoo so I made her a deal. I would pay for it if she did the following things: pick a design and wait a year, get a temporary version of it for a few weeks and ensure her future career will not be impacted. After she complied, we headed.. read more →
Page week
We are so proud of Hayley being selected as a NC State House Page. She managed the entire application process herself.
