I dropped Steve off @ LAX around 5am on Wednesday morning so he can fly up to Juneau, Alaska, and have fun while I slave away at work for another week and half.
While in Juneau, everyone will be staying with our friend Scott’s father Gary and stepmom Mary.  This is the view from their house:

…mostly because I think he’s the only one who will get what I’m talking about.
We were watching the Today Show yesterday morning, and the Twilight peeps (well, Edward & Bella) were on…so naturally the Plaza was full of screaming teenage girls (STGs, yes I need the acronym).

**Michelle’s note: This post is generated from the fact that Wells Fargo charged us a $7 fee for online bill pay, a service we definitely don’t use. We actually use ING for the bulk of our banking transactions, and only keep a small amount of cash @ WF. We keep WF for credit [...]

Today my hubby turns the big 26… can you believe it’s been 26 years for this little guy:
