When You Know You Shouldn’t Be a Heart Surgeon

Not that I was ever, ever, EVER considering that.  I like sitting down, and eating often, and sleeping regularly.

New York City 2014

Another year is almost over and it wouldn’t be complete with our annual trip to New York City! (2012, 2013,)  My parents had trouble organizing their schedules, so Russ and I went ourselves and navigated the whole thing our own!  If you know us, you know this is quite the accomplishment… We took Megabus to […]
