Happy Halloween!  As I write this post, I'm wrapped in the blissful warmth of a Snuggie.  Yes, "The Blanket That Has Sleeves."  Why?  Read on, my friends.

On Monday, Erin and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary!

I'd love to tell you that the reason there was no blog post yesterday is because we snuck off for a spontaneous mid-week getaway to a bed and breakfast to pamper ourselves and celebrate.  The reality is that there was a server issue that kept the [...]
