We’ll be gone until February 14. Meanwhile, the moderators will write posts. Bethany, bless her heart, will bear the brunt of my absence by taking over administrative responsibilities.
I’ll check in every day, unless we decide to become beach bums and live here forever.

Hey Jill,
Happy anniversary! What an awesome place to spend some time celebrating.
Congrats!
Oh, I’m so happy for you two! Have a wonderful time! :)
It was so great to see you both this weekend (even though it was a quick hi and bye). We need another get together soon. It’s been too long– and I would love to see Jack. :P I’m sure he’s as adorable as ever. Take care and enjoy that beach! :P
