Jazz/Heat Game
Drew got tickets to a Jazz game against the Miami Heat for his birthday. On the drive up Drew said all he wanted was a Jazz win. The last Jazz game we went to (two years ago) they lost to the Pelicans pretty handily, so Drew was feeling cursed. We got there in plenty of …

Annie just had surgery this week to remove the tumor and is currently going through physical and occupational therapy trying to …
