Happy New Year everyone!! So far, 2004 has been a hell of a ride.

Obviously, I'm back from Miami and my will be ending my blogging hiatus with many new stories of food, friends, and Phish. Over the next few days I'll detail our holiday adventures...we've had quite a few exciting (and some not-so-exciting) experiences over the past few weeks.

However, none of the experiences compares to the amazing news I received this morning: My very best friend in the whole wide world is expecting her first baby in July! I couldn't be more genuinely happy and excited if I were having the darn baby myself. This child will be truly blessed to have two of the most amazing people I know in this world as parents. It's a perfect way to start to what's now definitely going to be a wonderful year, I'm sure.

Stories to come....

Note: Ignore the crazy spacing...once I put a few more entries in, it will be back to normal.
