hi friends... i am going to act like i haven't neglected you all for the past month and a half...and just pick up where i left off. how does that sound? life has gotten busy - i am studying for my professional exams, working through taking them, and traveling for work. between these things, it seems there is not much time left in a day.

today we went for a long hike and are setting up for a fire tonight. please excuse how old some of these photos are....i'm still catching my breath from christmas, people. let's recap since december....obviously besides our nyc trip and work.
