Merry Christmas all! I hope everyone was able to enjoy a day or two off of work and spend time with loved ones. Our family Christmas isn’t until next weekend – so our Christmas was pretty low-key and relaxing. Dan and I spent the day with my parents, eating good food, napping, and watching the

Last weekend, Dan and I ventured to New York for a wedding. We were only there for two full days, so it was a quick trip. The wedding itself was on Friday, and I knew ahead of time we would likely have some time on Saturday to see a little bit of New York. Everyone
