What's new with me ...

I am so happy and relieved to say that we finally found a great school for Sienna! It only took 8 months of research, phone calls, tours, 20-page applications with open ended questions, insane application fees, interviews, assessments, and painful rejections. Easy peasy!

Jesse and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary! It seems like only yesterday that we blew out the neighborhood's power while attempting to hang lights for our backyard wedding ceremony. Now our 6-year-old is blowing out the power in our apartment as she plays with the light switches. Good times.

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there!
