I hope the wonder of the groundhog is with all of you today!
This year Noel’s family came to visit us for the holidays. Our guests traveled from the four corners of the earth (or at least the US) arriving from Alaska, Nevada, North Carolina, and California. We made so many trips to the airport we began contemplating buying a giant van and starting our own shuttle service.

Way back when Noel and I were just dating (Five whole years, people!), we went Christmas shopping together for the first time. It was a fairly awful experience and I’m pretty sure the only reason anyone forgave us for our lame and thoughtless gifts was because we got [...]
