  • Starting to plan for a very big trip!

    In my opinion, the second best thing to actually going on a trip is to plan for a trip. And we are starting to plan for a really big trip – an African safari. Okay, I could say a tour of Africa but saying you’re going on an African safari is SO MUCH MORE exciting,…

  • Keeping Big Brother in the Know

    Chuck and I are going to the Caribbean in early December to celebrate our tenth anniversary (I know! Awesome, huh? We’re pretty excited.)
