To all of our fans and listeners...
We know we haven't gotten any new episodes up or episode 3 of our Dark Water - Sidnee Stephens Series. We wanted to let you know why we haven't gotten these up. Last week Jenn was a little under the weather, but as we got ready to start again OUR lives changed. You hear us talk about our kids and we are so proud of them. Our daughter (our oldest child) married the love of her life in the summer of 2020. Her husband is a solider in the US Army and is active duty. In June of 21 he was deployed for "training", missing their first anniversary. We received the phone call this week that his deployment has been extended till an unknown time. He and his brothers are waiting to do whatever needs to be done. Because of this we have spent most of our time glued to the news and to our phones... We apologize to all of you that we haven't gotten new content up... but our family will always come first. All we can ask is be patient with us, and please keep our family, especially our son-in-law and all the troops over there in your prayers as this crisis continues. We want all of our service men and women to come home as soon as possible.... 🇺🇸
