    We’re back from NYC, and it was a fantastic trip! I explored each day while Johnny worked, and then each night we walked miles and miles just soaking up the hustle and bustle of the city. Our hotel was in Chinatown, and when we stepped out onto the street each…

    That’s right. Last week, I put in my two weeks’ at a job I’ve held for 4.5 years. Gulp. Johnny and I did not come to this decision lightly. We’ve been weighing the pros and cons for months, and the pros finally won out. Working from home full time has…

    Hello from the land of the living! Johnny and I spent all of Tuesday half dead in bed after getting a stomach bug within hours (like two) of each other. That’s weird, right? And then on Tuesday afternoon, we realized our CO detectors hadn’t been plugged in the whole time…
