Your friend comes to visit you at your house. You are so excited to see him and get to talk. When he arrives, you hug him and tell him how happy you are that he's there. But you can't sit down and chat with him right then because you have plans. So you tell him to wait in the living room, and you go get ready.

Thank You so much for giving me Continue Reading
Starting Fresh
Welcome to Seeing Sunshine! This is my first post on this website. I've had another blog for over a year through Wordpress. However, I feel it's time to step up to the plate and create my own site. Something with a real name, with a real purpose. So I decided to do it. I bought my own domain, and then realized how much harder building a website can be than I thought, even with help from a web host and other bloggers.
