The Plan Got Lost. Love Didn’t.
I never grew up dreaming of a wedding. In fact, I have a distinct memory of when I decided I didn’t want children and part of that was imagining a life of solitude. Even as a 10 year old, I recognized that it would be difficult to find someone who also did not want children…

Two Sharks and a Couple Turtles
Have you heard this one before? My two sisters and I were so fortunate to be able to visit Hawaii (on a budget) earlier this year. It was the first visit for all of us and, hopefully, not the last. I had always been excited to visit Hawaii but did not expect it to be…
