Posted in: I Love My Husband, Life

Mike and Tim (you know, that guy who was born 13 minutes after Mike and kinda looks like him) are 36 today. Over the weekend we celebrated their 72 combined years by feasting on a whole suckling pig.

Posted in: Holidays

How was your Thanksgiving? I have to admit, with my psychotic OCD schedule, it was the smoothest Thanksgiving ever. We had so much fun with family and friends, and for the three days following, we enjoyed a nice, easy weekend. So you see? Sometimes it pays to be a little… obsessive. Here are a handful of photos from our Turkey Day, courtesy of my brother-in-law Tim.
