November 19, 2009

Someone once told me that the 4 most stressful events in a person’s life were moving, starting a new job, getting married, and having a baby. Now, I’m not sure how accurate that statement is, as I’ve never been married or had a baby. Being in the midst of relocating and starting a new job, [...]
