Hello hello! I'm back in action after the stomach flu took me down with intense force. I haven't had a bug like that in a long time and I forgot how little energy you have. 

In more exciting news, Matt and I have applied for Global Entry and have our interviews in a couple of weeks! We're really excited to get this line-skipping party started. We have an international trip at the end of March, so I'm hoping 8 weeks is a quick enough time to get approved. That would be amazing! Do you have Global Entry? How quickly did you get approval? 

Is everyone else having a weird winter? It's been in the teens one day and nearly 70* the next. No wonder everyone I know is getting sick! But this warmer weather makes me want to put my sweaters away and wear dresses again (because I'm not even a little cold). What's your winter been like? Any pretty snow days?
