I tried to write a post about moving yesterday, but nothing seemed right. It’s safe to say that Scott and I have been on an emotional roller coaster for the past few days/weeks/months. We moved across the state of Virginia on Sunday, with most of our stuff to follow behind when we find a new…

Dog Burglar
I’m not stealthy, so I will never be a cat burglar. With that cleared up, I’ll tell you a story. We have some friends nearby who are in that special friend category where you’ve lost count of who cooked dinner for whom the most (or brought drinks or took care of the other people’s dog,…
