“There are two things in Autumn that particularly appeal to me. Sometimes there is a mild melancholy in the falling leaves, in the muted light, in the haziness of things, in the elegance of the slender tree trunks.” -Van Gogh 48 hours. Two plane tickets given to us. Any destination. And a babysitter. This was […]

Wow. Is 2014 really over already? It’s okay. I don’t mind! 😉 (But more about that in a second.) As I look back on the milestones passed and successes, it slows it down in comparison. 2014 was a year of development, firsts & amazing friendships. I felt like 2014 was a joyous balance on a […]
