Welcome to my new and improved blog, ladies and gentlemen. Many apologies for those of you who may have stumbled upon the utter chaos and disarray that was this piece of the Internet for the past few weeks. But we're up and running again, and I have some exciting new posts coming your way! Stay tuned for travel tales, book recommendations, and movie suggestions. Also, please check out my new Facebook page and give me a follow on Pinterest! For now, I will leave you with a few fun happenings from recent days.
