Resolutions Down, Happiness Up!

Since we're a couple weeks into the New Year I decided to take initial stock of how I'm doing with my resolutions. In every day life, if I don't start off on the right foot, I sometimes have difficulty getting myself pumped up to get back on track. Hence my affinity for doing things correctly …

2012 Travel Recap

I wasn't sure I would have much to show for a travel recap in 2012 given we're on a spending freeze as we continue to save money for our wedding and honeymoon in September 2013. It seems like I haven't been on an adventure in years, and I can't wait to book our honeymoon so …

It definitely made me happy about our decision to have a late-September wedding--it …
