Every time I walk into my bathroom, I cringe. I hate the humidity in the bathroom. The ventilation system needs to be upgraded, but I haven’t had time to think about it. The idea of purchasing a new ventilation system is there when I get out of the shower, but once I’m out of the […]
Read MoreOne of my deepest passions happened when I was on a field trip in the eighth grade. The entire class went into the local museum, where they housed some amazing treasures.
