A long time ago, when we were just starting this whole long-distance situation, my boyfriend and I comforted ourselves with the thought of all those plane rides turning into free plane tickets. And so we planned on Hawaii, to which neither of us has ever been. We planned to get SCUBA certified and learn to [...]

The Fortunes, They Don’t Lie…I hope

Waffle Friday Makes the World Go Round
Things I like about work:

2. 3:00 (ish) Snack [...]
