  • Sorry about my weird blogging schedule recently. I’ve had a really hard time adjusting to my new schedule since I normally blog at night, but now get home later than usual most nights. However, I have a weird gap in the middle of the day most days so hopefully I can start blogging mid-day a little more frequently. Also, I am aware that I still have not blogged about the rest of my trip to Burlington, Vermont yet, but I couldn’t let another day pass without saying: It was Eric and my anniversary on July 10th Wahoo!
