Change of Pace
2013 has “flown” by – pun intended. In a little more than a year – 53 weeks, to be exact – we’ve managed to fly 25 different weekends. Of those weekends, 18 involved either a one way or round trip standby flight. Most of the time, it worked pretty flawlessly. But nothing was guaranteed, and […]
My Best Friend’s Wedding
Some of you may know this, but for those who don’t, Sam and I met through the luck of the draw that was the college roommate lottery at Northwestern University.

Gone To Maui {Part Two}
After a wonderful first night in Maui, we woke up bright and early – as in, 2:45 am – to climb drive 10,000 feet up to the Haleakala Visitor Center in time for the sunrise. This is something I’ve been wanting to do since my mom and I visited Maui. The reviews said to bundle […]
