Cory and I finally got the chance to take our first ‘real vacation’ and went to Aruba with my sister and her husband. We were there for 7 nights, which was quite wonderful. On day 1, Cory and I both woke up at 7:30 a.m. like clock-work (4:30am PST). To think we would sleep in,… Read More >>
As I’m living5x5, I like to live by words that inspire, and gets me through the week. Lately, I’ve been more busy than I can recall, but I still have to make sure I take breaks here and there to keep me sane. What I’ve learned this week is that focusing on several projects doesn’t… Read More >>

We get together with other couples over drinks, we meet friends for happy hour, we celebrate an accomplishment with a bottle of wine, we enjoy great cocktail hours on vacation.
