We’re finding ourselves spending more time around our partners than ever before.  As we’ve found, the downtime has really helped us finish that list of “someday” projects – after a year in our home, we’ve finally got the storage room, and garage unpacked and stacked. Once you’ve finished those tasks, things can tend to get, well boring.
