Our budget

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Elizabeth my kitty-love

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007
This post is really more for me and Steve while we're away than anything else. I just wanted to put some pictures of our cat on here so we can look at them every now and then and miss her. [Continue reading this entry]

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007
Just in case anyone out there is interested in the personal side of things as well as maybe a little more insight into our love of travel, I thought I'd tell the story of how Steve and I met. Steve and ... [Continue reading this entry]
