House hunting!
My New Year started with a small fire. I was using the laundry room in our apartment building and had a few minutes left until it was time to go check on it when a fire truck pulled up outside our building. Ryan told me they were using the elevator, so I didn't want to get in their way and waited. Ryan, being the nosy man he is, watched the ( Read more... ) -

She showed me where the MAX, the light-rail system out ( Read more... ) -
Quirks

However, I am going on a weeklong mission for Hartford, CT in May. One of the best things about this is that I ge to work with my friend Glenna again.
