On Monday, I took a day trip to Washington, DC. I got on the train way too early in the morning, but it was worth it because I had a full day to explore the city with my Aunts, Amy and Dana. Dana was in town for a conference, but Amy and I got to [...][ READ MORE ]

They are for the scrapbook I do with my sister-in-law, Chelsea, and [...][ READ MORE ]
We are back from our Christmas trip to Kansas City to visit our families. We had a wonderful time, but it is hard to go back to reality and back to work. I want to go back to the cookies, and shopping, and laughing! We did so much during our week-long trip, it is already [...][ READ MORE ]
