When we first started working downtown, G and I didn't waste any time choosing our favorite spots to get lunch and after-work drinks.

The first week back to work after break is always rough. It makes me feel like I didn't soak up all the free time I had just days before. But in reality, these past couple of weeks were close to perfect. My parents visited and extended their trip so that they were with us for ...read more
