Getaways, Giveaways, and Goodness










I'm back after a wonderful visit with the parents, a weekend adventure in Vancouver, and incredible meals at Dahlia, Quinn's, and Art just to name a few. Perfect weather, amazing food, and great company.

Congrats go out to The Blonde Duck of A Duck in Her Pond. She's the winner of last week's QuietAnimals giveaway!

And in other good news, I got a job! It seems like a great fit and not scouring job websites feels really good after two and a half months of searching. I start next week.
