If you've been around here a little while you'll know that my husband and I met in Washington D.C. We were both there on summer internships. In fact, this summer is the 30th anniversary of that meeting. As you can imagine, it …
Oops! Missed Monday. Here’s Why.
Usually I'm really good about getting my blog posts written and scheduled before I go traveling. But after 6 solid weeks of crazy-busy I fell behind--then hopped on a plane. I love that I get to travel with my husband when …
