Her work has been good enough to let her take some extended leave so she can spend the time with me out here, she joind me out here a week later.

Friends of ours, Chris & Cheryl flew back for the special event. Now, Chris is notoriously conservative when it comes to spending money, which is why it came as a huge shock to us (and his fiance!
