What a long strange Tripp its been!

This child gave my life more meaning than I realized. He made me a mom!

My best friend and I were riding, talking about what his name should be & in a moment of silence, the lyric from a song said it all. Tripp...Tripp Gage to be exact. If you know what song I'm referring to, drop it in the comments-I need some new friends, lol. Turns out, we picked the perfect name for my son. He will be 23 this month and I've watched him grow into a man I'm so proud of, I love you son!
