I’ve  had the fortunate opportunity to partake in a whole slew of adventures over the past 9 months and it would be impossible to include them all in this blog based upon my recent slacking tendencies.  Instead, I’ve decided that maybe it would suffice to highlight those experiences/things that stood out.

In true rant fashion, there is no rhyme or reason to the order of my list.  If I offend anyone with the below opinions, well, I do have a very finite take- just ask my husband.  By the way, this does not necessarily reflect his perspective either.  I’m just sayin’.
