Hello, North Carolina! It’s been a whirlwind since arriving, but we are loving the weather here on the east coast of North Carolina, better known as the Crystal Coast.

Blue Skies and Clear Roads
2012 is here. Can you believe it? I didn’t write as much as I could have or probably should have throughout 2011 but for good reason. I was busy with my newish job as a senior community manager, blogging and writing a whole lot more at work. Working full time for such a powerhouse in social media and being…
